Bruce Springsteen - Darkness on the Edge of Twon

Label: Columbia
Genre: Rock 'n Roll
Year: 1978
Recommended by: Jeff Sherry

This is Bruce Springsteen. This is good Bruce Springsteen. There are still times when he goes a little extra "The Boss", but it features great songwriting and the production doesn't overwhelm the rest of the album.

His biggest album, "Born in the USA", is just this problem. That and he basically stopped being a singer-songwriter and became a heartland rocker. The best version of John Mellencamp. Still not a compliment.
