Inspired by the Elvis Covers thread and being on a bit of a Bruce kick at the moment - I thought - WAIT A SECOND! - This would make a whole album.
What would you suggest?
Im thinking:
Badlands
Prove It All Night
Hungry Heart
Because the Night
The Promised Land
The Ties That Bind
Johnny 99
Backstreets
Candys Room
Point Blank
Wreck On the Highway
Elvis Sings Bruce

I can definitely imagine him doing Candy's Room and Point Blank. I don't know about "Badlands...whoaaahhh-ohhh whoaahhh-oh" though.
She's The One
You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)
Dancing In The Dark (stripped down... "want to change my clothes, my hair, my face"
Highway Patrolman
Murder Incorporated
Streets Of Philadelphia
Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)
Two Faces
Tunnel Of Love (again stripped down, I like the basic song idea)
Streets Of Fire
EC could do a lot of Bruce songs in a stripped down country style, as a lot of them would lend themselves to that.
My Beautiful Reward is a good choice Pov. Evocative song with beautiful lyrics.
Well I sought gold and diamond rings
My own drug to ease the pain that living brings
Walked from the mountain to the valley floor
Searching for my beautiful reward
Searching for my beautiful reward
From a house on a hill a sacred light shines
I walk through these rooms but none of them are mine
Down empty hallways I went from door to door
Searching for my beautiful reward
Searching for my beautiful reward
Well your hair shone in the sun
I was so high I was the lucky one
Then I came crashing down like a drunk on a barroom floor
Searching for my beautiful reward
Searching for my beautiful reward
Tonight I can feel the cold wind at my back
I'm flyin' high over gray fields my feathers long and black
Down along the river's silent edge I soar
Searching for my beautiful reward
Searching for my beautiful reward
