Suprised
This is actually a good mellow cover of Suicide's tune.

Not Sure who's More Embarressed
me or Bruce....avoid
The Intersection of NJ and lower Manhatten
As a fan of both artists this is an amazing recording and a major treat. It makes sense that a composition about "dreams" would be where these two performers would intersect--much of Springsteen's musical career has been about dreams and the "movement" Suicide came was about dreams; of art and acceptance
shame
listening to springsteen singing this song makes you think that he wasted his talent in useless pop rock for sweated guys 'long the roads of america..... his voice is thrilling and doesn't deserve to be heard in bad stadium rock records
History Lesson
While Bruce Springsteen's cover of Suicide's "Dream Baby Dream" is indeed beautiful, those of you who've not heard Suicide's original studio recording of the song need to check it out. I am not talking about Suicide's live version presented here. I am talking about the version on their second album, released in 1980. Holy shnikes, what a gem of a song!!!
The Boss...Wonderfu- l.
Loved the Springsteen track...but the other two made ME want to commit suicide....
What a voice
Something about Springsteen's voice really moves me. This song is incredible.
The Boss
Any new Bruce Springsten track on emusic must be applauded. My regret is that I bought this off itunes a few weeks ago! This is Bruce at his best. The other two tracks are fine, but not to the standard of BS
Suicide
The tragedy is that more people may have heard Bruce sing in his concert than Suicide ever did in their performing history. The boss has good tastes - sometimes.

It Came From New Jersey
By Brian Raftery, eMusic Contributor
Click for Full-Sized Image In the 40 years since Bruce Springsteen signed his first record deal, the New Jersey native has established himself as the bard of the Garden State — a rep that continues with the release of Wrecking Ball, his 17th studio album. But the Boss isn't the only hungry-hearted Jersey musician who's managed to get on the map. Herewith, an annotated atlas of where a few home-state heroes got their start. Click the… more »

By J. Edward Keyes, Editor-in-Chief
New ones from The Men, Jenny Scheinman and more this week. Let's get to it. The Men, Open Your Heart: Here it is. People, if you only download one record today, make sure this is it. Big, loud, roaring rock & roll that ricochets between scuzzy garage, roughed-up punk and lovely, laid-back country with equal aplomb. Needless to say, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Here's eMusic's Austin L. Ray with more: The album is divided roughly into three categories: rockers… more »
Six Degrees of Blue Öyster Cult’s Agents of Fortune
By Nate Patrin, eMusic Contributor
It used to be easier to pretend that an album was its own perfectly self-contained artifact. The great records certainly feel that way. But albums are more permeable than solid, their motivations, executions and inspirations informed by, and often stolen from, their peers and forbearers. It all sounds awfully formal, but it's not. It's the very nature of music — of art, even. The Six Degrees features examine the relationships between classic records and five… more »
Bicoastal Bacchanalia: The Eagles and The East Coast
By Wayne Robins, eMusic Contributor
Hotel California, the Eagles '1976 album, has sold more than 16 million copies. But beyond its place as one of the best-selling non-greatest-hits albums ever lies its once-controversial cultural significance: It was a seriously disputed piece of evidence in one of the great culture wars of the 1970s. That battle was not between red state and blue state, liberal or conservative, anti-abortion or pro-choice. It was the culture war between New York and Los Angeles. A… more »
Icon: Bruce Springsteen
By Glenn Kenny, eMusic Contributor
If ever there was a rock 'n 'roll icon who needed no introduction, Bruce Springsteen - who got his nickname "The Boss" because, from very early on, he was the guy who made sure the band got paid - is surely that guy. As for that band, the current lineup of his longtime crew the E Street Band is Nils Lofgren on guitar, Miami Steve Van Zandt on guitar and sundries, Clarence "the Big Man"… more »
