How do I into Springsteen? Darkness on the Edge of Town or something else?

Jungleland, absolute masterpiece of a song and is what made me realize Springsteen was actually kino and not just boomerslop

Here's my take: His contributions to the first three Southside Johnny albums are his best songwriting.

Start at the beginning. Darkness is best appreciated in conversation with its predecessors. Then go up to Born In the USA and the rest is your choice.

Nebraska is his only great album so try that son

>>127095422 (OP)
Just start early. Maybe Greetings from Ashbury. If you don't like that, you probably won't like him in general.

Fly around in a private plane with Obama. Then you'll be just like Bruce.

just go to wiki, look up early albums (usually every artist's best) and listen to them.

Unironically Live 75-85. Many of Bruce's albums suffer from lifeless (over)production, and the songs truly come alive on stage. Plus it's a well-sequenced and sizeable helping that spans practically his entire golden era. Complement with Hammersmith 75.

Even if his studio albums fall flat you should give live Bruce a shot. Some of the best rock music ever performed.

This is correct.

Bruce Springstein has no good music.

I'm surprised I had to scroll down this far to find some buttblasted /pol/ tourist MAGA trash.
>buh buh Bruce sux because he didn't bend the knee to Trump!
Bruce Springsteen is one of the greatest songwriters and performers of the last 50 years. you're just being a bitch.

>>127097450
based on all accounts. His live shows are where it's at.

hipsters like nebraska. so listen to that shit

>>127095422 (OP)
unironically, see what christgau says.
he's actually pretty good at picking out what's better and what was a disappointing album from artists he likes.

Nebraska is a great album.
Also, he tracked most of it on a little 4-track Tascam PortaStudio - even the most insecure of contrarian naysayers must concede that's impressive, if not further testament to his strength as a singer and songwriter.

Always disliked his music before Trump even ran for prez, he sounds constipated

didn't metallica have that song about being constipated? it even had violins in it. they may have served as a leitmotif for bowel obstruction

Steel Mill
