I've always been curious about this, does USA just suffer a lot from being the "Popular" album or something? Among the fanbase, I mean.
Subjective, schmubjective. We all get a little riled up now and again about other people's opinions.
Like, a lot on this site. A LOT a lot a lot.
Also, I'm not as classy as some people to say that other are deaf for not agreeing, but I can't see how listen to the The River could be a bad experience.
Not sure what you are looking at. It's in fourth place, right behind The Rising. Quite respectable and pretty much right on target.
Isn't Born in the USA his best-selling and most popular album? I'd say the expectation would be for it to be in the #1 or #2 slot.
So, I'm impressed with so many people voting. I guess Bruce's survivor will be a little agitated then. At least, more than R.E.M.'s one.
It's just a little bit sad to see Born in the USA and The Rising with more votes than The Wild...
I don't know, right now it's in 6th...let's just say I were to send through three, would you reallythink it should get six instead?

Oh god, I hope not.
What songs are so bad on there that bring it down for you that much? I can only think of a few that don't measure up to the rest.
I can't even tell you, because to me, The River is a small handful of songs I really love (the title track, Cadillac Ranch), a few I like (Hungry Heart, Point Blank, Independence Day)), a couple of songs I prefer in their live versions (Out In the Street, Two Hearts), and a bunch that in my head I'm not able to tell apart because I was so disappointed when I first heard the album that I haven't been able to bring myself to go back and spend that much more time with it.
And honestly ,there are a bunch of songs that just sound so similar to me, or at least have that same synth sound or whatever (when I think of what I'm thinking about, I can hear it in my head but can't really express it), and the songs are interchangable - I don't like them that much. The Ties That Bind, Sherry Darling, Two Hearts, Out IN the Street, You Can Look, I'm a Rocker ...
Yeah, my comment was just a sarcastic response, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to have 6 songs advance from it, but there's just something (or several things) about the album that I actively do not like.
... that was probably a lot more words than this response required, but oh well.
The River is the utter definition of "meh?" when I think Bruce.
