Danospano said:The best way to figure out Springsteen is to buy the Greatest Hits (One disc), or the newer "Essential Bruce Springsteen" (3 discs). The Greatest Hits is the best single disc overview of his entire career "Asbury..." through "Secret Garden", but "Essential" covers every album through "The Rising".
Once you listen to two or three songs from each album, you'll know which period you enjoy and know what's worth buying.
The Best: Born to Run, The River, The Rising, Darkness on the Edge of Town, Live 1975-85.
The Good: Asbury Park, E Street Shuffle, Nebraska, Born in the USA, Tunnel of Love, other live albums.
The least of the Good: Human Touch, Lovetown, Ghost of Tom Joad.

Danospano said:UnforgettableLemon: Yeah, that's for the correction.
I would have bought the Essential package if I hadn't already obtained all his albums before it was released. Sure, it has the rarities disc, but it's just not worth it considering I have the rest of the collection.
Greatest Hits was the first Springsteen album I ever bought and it convinced me to investigate Born to Run, because of the title track, but mainly because of Thunder Road (Still my favorite Boss track), and made to check out Human Touch and Lovetown despite the critical thrashing they received from the reviewers; Human Touch and Better Days are great rock tunes.
Anyway, let us know what you think...
