Holyyy shit. I can't believe I slept on this album for so long.

The greatest

Nebraska is better

I think a lot of people are surprised when they hear 70s Springsteen and find out he's more than the singles from Born In the USA would have you believe
I'm lucky, the Boss is my dad's favourite so I was practically raised on it

This. I also recently listened to U2's War and really liked it despite hating them for as long as I can remember.

Any other older rock artists/bands I've been sleeping on?

>>72935594
I don't know what you have/haven't listened to but here's some top-tier classic rock artists
>The Who
>The Kinks
>The Band
>The Jimi Hendrix Experience
>Dr. John
>Van Morrison
>Can
>Television

too soon captcha, too soon

I know this feel OP, I was blown the fuck away when I listened to this album too.

TENTH AVENUE FREEEZEOUT

I like Darkness on the Edge of Town better but Springsteen's 5 album stretch of Born to Run-->Darkness-->The River-->Nebraska-->Born in the USA is amazing. I would make a case for the The Wild, the Innocent as well as Greeating from Asbury Park but those 5 are really great

TENTH AVENUE DUBS OUT

>>72936073
The Wild (...) should be on there as well. The man had the greatest streak in musical history.

WHAT A FUCKING STREAK

>>72936256
the river is fucking tripe. easilly the worst out of springsteens first seven albums

>>72934998
>>72935559
Literally my revelations a couple weeks ago. And don't be afraid to dig deeper, this Seeger tribute album is a fucking riot! Good stuff, totally underrated Springsteen for way too long thanks to middle-aged women liking him.

>>72937474
yep, totally agreed. only scaruffi drones disagree.

>>72937474
What a horrible opinion

>>72936256
Now that's a shit taste

>>72937744
thank you my nigga
>>72937861
>crush on you
>i wanna marry you
>im a rocker
defend this. literally the raditude tier songs to bruce's discography

Tunnel of Love is so fucking underrated. The dude channels all of the heartbreak of his life falling apart into simple melancholy love songs laid over hollow emotionless synth beats. 808s & Heartbreak totally bites the style.

The second side is perfection.

The river was one of the first albums to be mixed digitally and the sound suffers as a result

Did you anons listen to Ties That Bind? It's the original followup to Darkness but he thought it was too dark and depressing like Darkness so he added all of the rockers and silliness to create The River double album. He also cut out the best song Loose End and drastically re-recorded and mixed half of the songs (for the worse)

>>72938095
Didn't know it existed until now, downloading right away. Thanks anon

>>72938095
>no sherry darling
DROPPED

>>72938380

listen all i was saying from the start was that the river has some terrible songs. it does have some all time classics though i just think u cant compare it to literally flawless albums like darkness, wild innocent, and born to run. nj fag here so my opinion is valid AF

>>72936256
DUDE YES.

especially tunnel of love

>>72938095

Bruce is one of those nuts that throws away 10/10 material because it doesn't "feel" right or it's too sad or too good or some shit. He has tons out outtakes and bootlegs that are as good or better as album stuff.

tfw The Ties That Bind is a response to Walk the Line

>>72935675
People sleep on The Who far too much, it's insane. The Who Sell Out is up there with Pet Sounds and Revolver, and Quadrophenia is just insane.

>>72935675
also Electric Light Orchestra!

Tom Joad!!!
