You need, at the least, Born to Run, but I would also suggest The River and Greetings From Asbury Park.
Jesus, I forgot Darkness. I was all flustered.
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I was never able to get into Speingsteen. To me, his early work represents the New Jersey I grew up in that I wanted to escape from.

I'm actually going to cry, I think. Maybe instead I'll just go listen to some Bruce.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, I had a friend who was always raving about "The Boss". It kind of turned me off to Springsteen's music.
Sometimes my brain does dumb things.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh, and thanks, Hec and Amy.
De nada!
I'd suggest checking out these songs on YouTube and seeing which ones click for you. Then you might know what album to get.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

So I downloaded Nebraska, Born to Run and Greetings From Asbury Park. Have listened to the first two and liked them. (I'm at work, and I have a feeling once I really get to listen to the lyrics of Nebraska I'll like that one even more.)
Listening to Greetings From Asbury Park now. So far I'm loving "Blinded by the Light" (I've never heard the original before).

I am really liking The newest Bruce CD, Wrecking Ball. Strong, passionate writing and some cool Celtic music influences.
