Seriously though, my only exposure to the majority of Bruce's material was thru the Greatest Hits cd (the red and black one). And I've heard people say it is not a good starting point. Maybe I should listen to something else. But songs like Badlands, Glory Days, Hungry Heart etc. do bore me. Don't know if it's cos of radio overplay or what.

I totally hear you. I still haven't heard Tom Joad or Tunnel of Love, but of everything else, Born in the USA is seriously my least favorite Bruce record.
Earnie Shavers said:And I agree, but I've always been so afraid of saying it around here: I find Bruce Springsteen to be good, but dull. Good in the way a Toyota is good. I'm going to get savaged for that....

I see I'm not alone in thinking the same!

Tunnel of Love is generally lauded by critics, and I personally feel that One Step Up is one of his finest songs. Tom Joad is essentially a sequel to Nebraska. If you are a fan, as I take it that you are, both are worth hearing.

... this unnecessarily cruel comment against the Killers made me retaliate. Cos I know martha enjoys the Boss.
Lancemc said:Then listen to The Wild, The Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle (my personal favorite album of all tiempo.)
If you shout... said:
Without a doubt the single greatest "traditional" rock-and-roll album ever committed to tape. It is perfect from start to finish, wretched production and all. I have listened to it more times than I have breathed. It is untouchable. Untouchable.
There is a reason why Bono, way back in the day, used to name it as one of the best records ever recorded--because he wasn't always an idiot, and there was a time when he had his finger at least reasonably close to being on the pulse. Holla.

You make it sound as if I just said October was U2's best record or something. War is bloody fantastic; certainly better than either of the two U2 albums up there. Both albums are great, but I would rather listen to War the majority of the time.

I'm with you on that.
Come to think of it, I find the majority of "traditional" straight-ahead rock pretty dull.
