Most of the people I know who hate Springsteen think of him as the guy who sold an obscene number of one of his weaker records and fills up his shows with cheesy pep talks and patriotic anthems.

For me, the first five Springsteen albums are probably the greatest run of albums by anyone. Greetings From Asbury Park is a criminally forgotten debut album. And I agree with you about The River; it's my favorite double album ever.
