‘Be My Baby’ — The Ronettes
This song is on NME’s, Pitchfork’s, Time’s, and Rolling Stone’s best-of lists. It was produced by Phil Spector. The song featured a full orchestra and Cher’s backing vocals. “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 international single, but it only charted in the top 20 in the US. It was a cult hit, according to The Atlantic. It was so popular in Philadelphia that it was broadcast several times a day on a top-40 morning station.
