In the past two months, I've become obsessed with Springsteen. He's now in my top ten. The Wild, The Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle > Born to Run > Darkness on teh Edge of Town is probably the best three albums in a row that I've ever heard. Not so much a fan of what I've heard from Born in the USA (highly overrated album in my opinion, 70's stuff is far, far better) through whatever came before Ghost of Tom Joad. Have only heard a song or two of everything after Nebraska, actually (and only a couple off of the River), but...I don't feel as eager to explore that stuff as I was for the 70's material.
Anyway, if you want albums:
Born to Run
Darkness on the Edge of Town
Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle
Nebraska
Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. (I don't like this as much as the other four I listed because it just feels more like a collection of good songs, instead of songs that feel like they're put on the same album for a reason, that really have a mood. Songs are good, though)
Could list a ton of lyrics, too, might later. Wish I'd seen him on his recent tour, but his tickets are expensive, and if I'm gonna pay $50+ to see him, I want to see him with the E Street band.
