New Jersey often lives in the cultural shadow of its neighboring state, New York. However, it has a unique culture, history, and musical heritage that sets it apart. From Bruce Springsteen to Bon Jovi, the state has been a muse to many legendary artists. Here are five songs that beautifully encapsulate the essence of New Jersey. The Boss, as Springsteen is often called, hails from Freehold, New Jersey. 'Born to Run,' released in 1975, captures the youthful restlessness and desire to break free that is a universal experience but is set against the backdrop of the streets of New Jersey.
