As for the comment about Bruce Springsteen country if his music came out today it would be "new country "
Noticed that Steven Tyler was doing the CMA's last night does he think Aerosmith would be ountry today? Come to think of it Florida Georgia Line reminds me alot of Aerosmith

In this thread you will learn which of your fellow posters listen to music primarily to escape and hear a good story set to music and which posters listen to music to relive their lives and experiences through the shared experience/environment of another.
Read the thread this way and you'll learn a lot about the guys you write to all day long.

Another vote for the Wild the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle. We often saw Bruce in very small venues and clubs during his first few albums popularity. He never translated for me at the huge stadium shows. Although I liked some songs from his more recent albums I was more of a fan during his younger days.
Very astute.
Was thinking about this bootleg tape that everyone had some 30 years ago from a Bruce show at the Spectrum...as this was one of my favorite tunes from that show and per your words above, I always like to reminisce about a few back in the day

Something I always regret...never got to see Bruce at the Spectrum...as even though I hated the 2 teams that called it home...the Bruce shows there were seemingly always epic.

Um, Greetings is listed, second from bottom although with this new board I can no longer see the choices
Saw him at The Spectrum on his 50th birthday. He opened the show holding up a boombox to the mic of his mom singing him Happy Birthday. He went on to blow the roof off the place.
How can anyone pick just one? If forced to choose, I will say The Rising. Amazing end to end and one I listen to the most. But that is not to diminish the greatness of Born to Run, The River, E-Street Shuffle, and Darkness. (And others...)
I can't see the poll on my iPad though. Otherwise I love this format for posting and I'll probably post more now. I'm guilty of being a daily lurker.

I still think the earlier ones were the best (Greetings from Asbury, Park, NJ, Wild and the Innocent, Born to Run, and Darkness on the Edge of Town). There was a raw earthy grittiness to the songs that projected real life images of interesting characters and their stories particularly in NJ. I think that always was Springsteen's strong point in most of his songs.
That 50th birthday show at the Spectrum ranks in the top 5 of the 100-plus Springsteen shows I've attended. Never forget it. I got there with only a few minutes to spare due to huge backup on I-95.
If you like country check out John Eddie, a friend of BS, at the Wonder Bar 5/24. You won't be disappointed.
PS: I can't see the poll thanks to this new board. The results at last look were (1) BTR, (2) Darkness, (3) Wild and the Innocent
I'd be with Born to Run, Darkness, The River.... Whoever mentioned that Magic is a sneaky good album is right on the money.
On Bruce songs as country, The Mavericks just crush All That Heaven Will Allow!
Speaking of that. Tunnel of Love is not up there to me but has some excellent cuts. I would think that Julianne heard this and said "uh oh."
I like Greetings and E Street Shuffle just fine but there's nothing on them (I know I'll get slammed for this) that shows the potential for Born to Run.
