I'll leave this up for a few more hours, and see if anybody's going to actually make a guess- wild or otherwise- on the titles of any of those songs;. You already know the artist, so there should at least be one or possibly 2 wild guesses, which would hit 2 of the songs I used.

now these. "Walk This Way" ~Aerosmith~. Just kidding. Shouldn't George get credit here for pointing out the artist from this song ~Bruce Springsteen~? He had them first, and I got the song, "Born to Run" former, and "Born in the USA" latter?

George got verbal acknowledgement of guessing the artist. You correctly named TWO of the songs. So, it is your turn.
"Crazy Janey and her mission man Were back in the alley tradin' hands. 'Long came Wild Billy with his friend G-Man All duded up for Saturday night. Well, Billy slammed on his coaster brakes And said, "Anybody wanna go on up to Greasy Lake? It's about a mile down on the dark side of Route 88 I got a bottle of rosé so let's try it."
"Now, I know your mama, she don't like me, 'cause I play in a rock and roll band. And I know your daddy, he don't dig me, but he never did understand. Your papa lowered the boom, he locked you in your room-- I'm comin' to lend a hand. I'm comin' to liberate you, confiscate you, I want to be your man. Someday we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny. But now you're sad, your mama's mad And your papa says he knows that I don't have any money Your papa says he knows that I don't have any money Oh, your daddy says he knows that I don't have any money. Well, tell him this is his last chance to get his daughter in a fine romance- 'Cause a record company, Rosie, just gave me a big advance!"
"ROSALITA'". Clarence Clemons has a great saxophone solo towards the end.
"In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on Highway 9 Chrome-wheeled, fuel-injected, and steppin' out over the line Oh, baby, this town rips the bones from your back It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young."
"Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend I wanna guard your dreams and visions. Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims And strap your hands 'cross my engines.
Together we could break this trap We'll run 'til we drop, baby, we'll never go back. Oh, will you walk with me out on the wire? 'Cause, baby, I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta know how it feels. I wanna know if love is wild Babe, I want to know if love is real."
"Beyond the Palace, hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard. Girls comb their hair in rear-view mirrors, and the boys try to look so hard. The amusement park rises bold and stark, kids are huddled on the beach in a mist I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the streets tonight in an everlasting kiss."
"The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last-chance power drive. Everybody's out on the run tonight, but there's no place left to hide.
Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness I'll love you with all the madness in my soul. Oh, someday, girl, I don't know when We're gonna get to that place where we really wanna go
And we'll walk in the sun But 'til then tramps like us"

Human correctly identifies this as "BORN IN THE USA.": So, it's Human's turn.
" keep your dirty feelings
Deep inside. And if you're
Takin' your girlfriend
Out tonight
You better park the car
Well out of sight
'Cause if they catch you in the back seat
Trying to pick her locks
They're gonna send you back to mother
In a cardboard box."
"You better make your face up in
Your favourite disguise,
With your button down lips and your
Roller blind eyes
With your empty smile
And your hungry heart.
Feel the bile rising from your guilty past
With your nerves in tatters
As the cockleshell shatters
And the hammers batter
Down your door."

You may not be rushing frantically to an answer, but you might have heard this song before. It's reasonably famous, and the band was definitely famous.

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

Once beneath the stars, the universe was ours. Love was all we knew, and all I knew was you. I wonder where you are, I wonder if you think about me Once upon a time, IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS. It mig

This one sounds like something that I've heard but where from I don't know.

That line seems familiar, but I'm still not getting it.
