I think I might like Springsteen. I got Born in the USA and I really like Dancing in the Dark and I'm on Fire and quite like Cover Me, I'm Going Down and the title track. The rest are a bit too folksy for my liking though.

Which of his compilation albums should I listen to? I probably don't have time to listen to his entire discography

first, to change your mind: play Born To Run

Then you will realise that this is pure rock and roll as it's meant to be

then play: Live 1975-1985
And you will realise that Springsteen is the best live act ever

After that, play whatever you like (and you will like a lot)

Special attention to
Darkness On The Edge of Town
Tunnel Of Love

Of course I meant in my last post Born To Run, the album, not just the song

Less than 24 hours now... I can't even handle the excitement....last night of the tour, maybe the last e street show ever, the complete greetings from asbury park, and its Steven's birthday....somebody pinch me

I completely agree with you Sergio, i kinda never got this song until very recently. Then it just hit me one day....it's so powerful. Best version for me has to be from the live album 76-86.....unbelievable performance....so much passion

I would just start with Asbury Park. One of his best. Going downwards after Born To Run, although Darkness is still a beauty. His solo albums are crap (except for Devils and Dust). Rising, Magic and WOAD are not bad but a bit mainstream

That's my favourite version as well. The album version already sent me shivers but that one...well I can't find words

How do you guys feel about "Lonesome Day"? I'm only 18, so I didn't live through the Born in the USA hype of the later 80s, but my parents have the albums and I've watched live footage, and really acquainted myself with the older Bruce...I tried listening to his solo career, but I didn't like the lack of E Street. "Lonesome Day" is the only modern (2000-present) Springsteen song I really, truly love...it mixes some of the Seeger Session feel he experimented with, with the original 70's "Born to Run" feel of The Boss's trueness.
