I was thinking we should start a Bruce Springsteen general, seeing as all those kpop retards and grimes / st vincent / tay tay autists get their own shitty generals. Also Bruce is quality transcendental dadrock.
Fav Boss pic?

He is performing the entirety of The River live and has a new album coming out that will be a 'very different kind of record'
who /hype/ in here?
Saw him in Portland in May. Fucking great. Can't wait for "Born to Run" to come out.
Ive heard that is going to be a great record
Wish You Were Here is coming out soon after, though, and Joni Mitchell's apparently putting together something pretty crazy. Plus I'm still playing Blood on the Tracks. AOTY will be a tall order for the young New Jersey chancer.
Holy shit Born To Run isn't an 80s album?!?!
Looking on wikipedia, 1975 was a pretty based year.
Nah, the Floyd cant top Dark Side

Wow. Hissing of Summer Lawns belongs there too, I'd say. It's pretty great.
never actually listened to this record, what is it like?
Dude, I don't listen to Bruce Springsteen like at all but that cat was hot as fuck when he was young.
Weird how the frame through how we see our parents generation of music is mostly in their older years so we just dismiss it as boring dad rock, but that shit was poppin too at one time
So what is the appeal of Bruce Springsteen? I've heard several of his songs that, while fine, didn't really strike me as anything other then fairly standard dadrock. Not trying to bait, just legitimately curious why so many people like him
Listen to Jungleland

And The E Street Shuffle

And Atlantic City

Now it's easier to understand.
Born To Run was the most expensive album ever produced when it came out. The production quality was fantastic, and holds up today. Consider the amount of instruments on one track and the fact that you can hear each one clearly. Listen to other albums from the same time period and see how flat they sound compared to this.
This moment is a personal highlight for me.

Obvs listening in youtube quality doesnt do it justice.
He also released albums like Nebraska,
youtube.com
much more intimate, think of this as the equivalent of Carrie and Lowell, much more "real" as it were.
And if you skip Born in the USA, the second most boring track on Born in the USA, the album has some excellent tracks.
Working on the Highway has an excellent bassline
youtube.com
Downbound Train is a great storytelling track with an 80s guitar sound
youtube.com
I'm on Fire has great atmosphere and muted guitar, and the video is p good.

Im goin down is v catchy and good drunk singalong music if you have friends desu
youtube.com
the rest on that album are... not so great
Bruce tuned into the American working class experience like no other, but what would I know, im a 25 year old English guy.
this is pretty interesting, thanks, interesting lyrics
>Dancing in the Dark
>Bobby Jean
>not great
desu all are good, but those are the highlights i think
>thats my opinion at least
Why are Sup Forumslets insecure little bitches that feel the need to constantly insult other genres?
bump
>all insults are because you are insecure!
he says as he insults a majority of the board
Yeah, Joni's great. Kind of a female Dylan (not as good a lyricist, mind, but 10,000x better singing) in that she started out folky and transitioned- in a jazzy direction, in her case.
thanks for the rec,
this is my favorite Joni Mitchell song, she has a great emotive voice.
I'm not really a huge fan so Meet me in the City was a big discovery from The River out takes.
this is great, I wish the Boss discography was added to the sharethreads
Rofl your defensive response is all i needed to hear
Get fucked pussy
>more insults
why are you so insecure user?
>rofl
Your underage is showing.
Lol project more you fucking morons
Backstreets is the best song on BTR

Whole album has GOAT Bruce lyrics
I heard One Step Up on the radio the other day... Great song.
Thanks man. I will probably start with the 70's albums.
Honestly for anyone getting into Bruce I'd recommend listening to a live album first. Something like Hammersmith 1975 or one of the bootlegs from the Darkness tour (Winterland 1978 is my personal favorite).
Bruce is literally the greatest live performer in rock music history and most, if not all of his songs sound better live.
He is my father figure since my own das is a spineless beta

Dont let it die. Keep it alive like a Bruce Springsteen concert.
