Guess these Bruce Springsteen songs by their acronyms - Done


Watch out, cause I'm gonna list 25 acronyms in alphabetical order (there is no song title that begins with the letter X).
Then I shall add to the correct answers the albums from which they came as well as YouTube links for those who might want to listen to them.
Oh yeah, as a hint, I am not including any song where the title begins with the word The.

Since this game has apparently run out of steam, I have decided to close the game and list the remaining five songs myself.
Those songs are ...
. 2) BYIA - Back In Your Arms (from Tracks)
. 5) ES - Empty Sky (from The Rising)
. 7) GIAN - Gave It a Name (from Tracks)
. 8) HOIG - Hunter of Invisible Game (from High Hopes)
10) JDYLH - Janey, Don't You Lose Heart (from Tracks)
You can find links to the YouTube videos on the first page.

I'd like to thank everyone who played. I hope that you enjoyed the game and liked the songs I chose, assuming, of course, that you listened to them.
I look forward to reading AndyKing1967's report on the concert he will see.
Oh yeah, one of my favorite things about the game was reading the YouTube comments while the songs were playing.
Thanks again.
