Top Five Bruce Springsteen Songs Without a Chorus
1. “Meeting Across the River”
2. “Nebraska”
3. “Seeds”
4. “Cautious Man”
5. “Wild Billy’s Circus Story”
More than I expected, but I’m sure there’s others I didn’t think of. Some of them would work better as talking blues than others.
“Seeds” seems the most anomalous, by virtue of being an uptempo rocker.

“Thunder Road” doesn’t have a chorus, and belongs at Number One on your list.
Also some earlier songs, like “Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street?”
