My top five Bruce Springsteen albums: 1. Darkness on the Edge of Town 2. Nebraska 3. The River 4. Tunnel of Love 5. Born In The USA It changes pretty much daily though. Not bad. Cant really get into TOL though. One Step Up is under rated is easily my fav from that album. I like the sign collecting. Shows the depth of the catalog and how many songs they know but sometimes he picks some stinkers. |

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band w/ Tom Morello
Love when the trade solos after the first verse. Morello just destroys it at the end though. They play together like Toms been part of the band forever.

Dear one and all,
I've been meaning to explore Springsteen's vast back catalogue for years now but it's difficult to know where to start so I'm hoping for some pointers;
My fascination came about when The Killer's Sams Town was released and everyone was saying how influenced it was by Springsteen. Sam's Town is my favourite album of the new millenium. I love how huge the songs sound and gutted the Killers were never able to recreate the magic they had on this album. Songs like 'River is Wild' and 'Why Do I Keep Counting' were genuine hair raising moments.
I'd heard the usual Springsteen 'hits' and I recently purchased the 1993 Greatest Hits for £2! Whilst it being good I felt there must be more out there (as I hold my hands up and say I despise most best of's of my favourite artists). I did further research into the aforementioned album and found it was deeply flawed and not a true representation of his best work. Therefore without buying 5 or 6 albums as a stab in the dark where do you think I should begin?
Any help would be appreciated

Preconceptions of Springsteen years backed when I was in my early teens concerned the fact I thought he was a typical chest pumping American patriot, like that twat Bon Jovi. Never thought he was a twat, but I never thought his music was subtle. But I was never particularly perceptive in those days. The first album I listened to him and I realised he was a genius was Nebraska - I thought Atlantic City was one of the finest tunes ever written. But that's not the typical Bruce album starters usually go for. If I were to pick just one album to start off with, it would probably be The River. It's a double album, and he's mixed it with some great radio friendly tunes mixed with the more restrained, mellow and melancholy songs that he did with Nebraska. I think it probably gives a listener the best idea of Bruce. Other albums with massive tunes is obviously Born to Run, Born in the USA and also The Rising. The River's probably a bit more eclectic though. |

Just a question: Is Bruce in the hall of fame already or was he inducting himself and the E street band last week?

Without Bruce, are they good enough for that time of legendary status? I mean The Replacements aren't even in the Hall or Pavement. Both write all their own songs.  |

Springsteen is technically a solo artist even though they have played on most of his albums. Their first billed album is the live compilation album Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band Live 1975-1985 which made them eligible in 2011. I believe they should have been inducted with him because without his live shows he wouldn't have been as big of a star. |

 New record store day release. Not very good IMO. I wish that he would have released music as often as he does now in the 70's and 80's. |

I don't know , you only got so many great ones in you as he is proving now , same with Dylan , there is no guarantee that the quality of especially the 70 s would be the same , and he did bring out , greetings , wild innocent , born to run , darkness in 70 s and the river in early 80 s that's 5 great lps in a decade really as I think greetings came out in 71 or 2 ?? I may be wrong ... Think he came out with just the right amount to be a legend without throwing in a stiff |

Disc one and two are out takes from 73 -82 greetings to Nebraska. Plus the promise album which are out takes from Darkness. From those four discs you can make two more classic albums IMO. Plus he has more music in the vault from that era. I'm impressed he's staying so busy lately but he needs to edit himself more now. He's more apt to release subpar music now cause he likes releasing albums more regularly but when he was it his peak he shelved songs that are better than the ones that made the albums. You seeing him in Tampa next week? |

I got into Springsteen somewhat recently in 2007 after his Magic album came out, which I really like. That and Wrecking Ball are pretty strong and enjoyable listens all the way through.
Of the older ones, I have Born the Run and Darkness on the Edge, which are both fantastic.

I wasn't planning on seeing a show this tour because money is tight. I've sat in the nose bleeds several times and didn't want to pay after ticketmaster fees over $80. Any seat worth sitting in were $118 plus all the fees. Got home from work and was bummed I wasn't going and checked Stub Hub to see if there were any cheap tix. Someone had upper level tix for$30 so I decided to pull the trigger but for some reason my order kept getting kicked back. So instead bought a ticket for $50 in the lower level. The man is 65 and I don't know how long he's gonna be putting on shows with this intensity Missed the first song which was Clampdown by the Clash because of the Stub Hub issues and part of the second because some people were sitting in my seat. Was a real good show that lasted three hours with lots of rarities, hits and a roof raising Highway to Hell.

Saw him last year, was amazing.
Born To Run is definitely his best album, also love The Rising too.

$50 is not bad for eight albums but do I need them again? Have the Darkness and BTR albums from their respected previously released boxsets. |
