He's got a compilation entitled The Best Of Bruce Springsteen, u should be able to get it for midprice somewhere...funny u are thinking about getting into him, I nearly bought something of his today, got some Spiderbait instead.

I would say try Live 75-85, or the last one he came out with-Live in NYC. You'd get a wide variety of songs, and could decide what you liked.

I've been a fan of his for quite a while, and I still don't own all of his albums. Born In The USA is one of my faves-also Born To Run. The 'darker' ones w/ more ballads like Nebraska are definitely worth listening to though.

Enjoy!!

I would suggest starting with "Born to Run" or "Darkness on the Edge of Town"

The River is very good, but expensive.

[color=royal blue]1. *twitch* that Springsteen was spelled wrong

2. I'd start out with the Greatest Hits CD. And then see which songs you like best and get THOSE CDs. *loveth* Nebraska too. And Born in the USA. And Born to Run. And-- I'm not helping...hehe[/color]

i feel like such a traitor...

I bought Greatest Hits a while ago, but I still cannot get "into" Bruce. It's not that I don't want to....I just haven't been able to. *sigh* It doesn't do anything for me.

Don't worry, sula; we won't hold it against you. My sweet hubby has an active dislike for Bruce's music, and I still like him. My husband, I mean.

[brettig]

maybe its an aussie uni students thing?

 

[adamswildhoney]

Born in the USA or the Greastest of Bruce are the best albums to start with!

My favorite SpringSTEEN album, by far, is 1987's Tunnel Of Love. The follow-up to the commercial smash Born In The USA, Tunnel is a largely solo affair, more stripped down and less immediate. Its potency, however, is undeniable and I know many Bruce fans consider it his masterpiece as do I. Should be required listening for anyone about to wed (lest they think its all a bed of roses).
