‘Be My Baby’ — The Ronettes
You will see this on the list of the best songs by NME, Pitchfork, Time, and Rolling Stone. Phil Spector produced it. The song had a full orchestra and backing vocals by Cher. “The things Phil was doing were crazy and exhausting,” said engineer Larr Levine. “But that’s not the sign of a nut. That’s genius.”

‘Born To Run’ — Bruce Springsteen
The most ambitious song Bruce Springsteen ever made was the title song of his 1975 album, “Born to Run.” He shared with Rolling Stone, “I wanted to make the greatest rock record I’d ever heard.” This was his first global single release, but it only got to the top 20 in the United States. The Atlantic said that it was a cult hit. It was so in-demand in Philly that the top-40 morning station aired it a few times per day.
