On the program, Springsteen notes that most people will be familiar with his picks, while explaining that he chose the songs because “this was the music that electrified me and…galvanized me into changing my life in some way.”

Springsteen says The Beatles’ “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” “changed the course of my life,” and “was the song that inspired me to play rock and roll music.”
