I see you have four of his albums rated above your average album rating though, including Nebraska, which is my favorite of his. It's also definitely the best album to revisit for someone who doesn't like his typical sound.

I sadly have yet to truly appreciate The Boss as much as others. I've listened to a good chunk of his albums and really just never connected with me.

Start off with born to run. Its addictive.
Listen to it 5x and you will get it.

I agree. I just bought it on vinyl. A new vinyl.

Ah Springsteen ! My elder brother was a fan ; He brought me to one of his 4-hour-long concert in the 80’s, and it was not quite my taste, I was into the Cure at the time. But boy some of his songs are immaculate: Dancing in the Dark, Brilliant Disguise, Bobby Jean, Downbound Train, I’m on Fire…
This as well. Beautiful

He was fortunate to have a short period, where everything he touched was magnificent.
These are some of my personal favorites.

Oh wait, that's actually John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band... it just sounds exactly like Springsteen.

That's as close as I get to liking anything by Springsteen.

But Courtney Cox was sure cute in the Dancing in the Dark video.

Lol. I'm not a fan either, but I came up with 5 or 6. And then struggled after that. But I really like the ones that I came up with.

I guess your lead off there can come on the radio without me spinning the tuner knob in a microsecond. Maybe Born to Run as well, even if it is hopelessly cliché.

But if terrorists ever need to get me to talk all they need to is put me in a room and play any other Springsteen song. If they lead with Glory Days or Tunnel of Love, I'll cave even faster. Just don't go with I'm on fire or I'll find a way to kill myself even before I talk!
