Literature has had the concept of the Great American Novel, and books like The Great Gatsby and Huckleberry Finn have held that title. Is there a Sup Forums equivalent? Is there such a thing as a Great American Album, a record that encapsulates the culture of America?

Pic related would be a good contender, I'd say

Born in the USA

>not Born to Run
plen

>the great gatsby
>Not Moby Dick

Kill yourself right now.

I think either would probably work honestly

probably bob dylan

Grateful Dead or Bob Dylan.

Patti Smith - Horses
Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde
Television - Marquee Moon
The Microphones - The Glow Part 2
Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run

Most 60's Bob Dylan albums would probably be acceptable choices
The Replacement''s Let it Be is a good one for teen America
pic related is the best option for urban America, though

definitely bob dylan

Northeast: Born to Run
Southeast: Fables of the Reconstruction
Midwest: Zen Arcade
Rocky Mts./Southwest: The Lonesome Crowded West
Pacific: Pet Sounds (perhaps?)

>Northeast: Born to Run
Explain

...

face it, dubs confirm this

Welp

damn

Dylan or Springsteen

>References to things/places in New Jersey and occasionally NYC throughout the album
>Bruce is from NJ
Of course NJ/NYC is just one part of the Northeast, but it's the best I could think of.

Dead is a good choice.

American Beauty specifically.

Too bad the second dubs discount the fist ones

user is in denial because MBDTF is the great american album, accept it friendo
