Bruce started as a "New Dylan" but quickly became something else. These albums are dense, wordy, and full of street-poet energy. Essential Album: The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle Key Track:
A double album that works. That’s rare. Side one is party anthems ("Cadillac Ranch," "Out in the Street"). Side four is gut-punch reality ("Wreck on the Highway"). The title track is the hinge—a song about a father, a pregnancy, and the death of youthful innocence. bruce springsteen discography blogspot better
