Similar to our series on Pearl Jam last year, we will be digging deep into the discography of an American rock ‘n’ roll institution, Bruce Springsteen. The series is called “20th Century Boss,” and as the title suggests, it covers every studio album released by Springsteen from his 1973 debut, Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. up through 1995’s The Ghost of Tom Joad.
Episode 1: Bruce Begins (Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. and The Wild, The Innocent, and The E Street Shuffle) with Brian Fallon of The Gaslight Anthem
Episode 2: Born To Run with Jeff Rosenstock
Episode 3: Darkness On The Edge of Town with Julien Baker
Episode 4: The River with Patrick Stickles of Titus Andronicus
Episode 5: Nebraska with Phoebe Bridgers
Episode 6: Born In The U.S.A. with Patterson Hood of Drive-By Truckers
Episode 7: Tunnel Of Love with John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats
Episode 8: Bruce in the ’90s (Human Touch, Lucky Town, and The Ghost of Tom Joad) with Tim Showalter of Strand of Oaks
Bruce knows how to produce a solid vinyl listening experience.
Which records? Their studio work has usually left me feeling underwhelmed (with Nebraska being the big exception).
I think they all SOUND fantastic. Quality of songs aside, he seems to press a good vinyl and the produciton is generally top notch. The night I made this post i was listening to Wrecking Ball. I think this would have been a better album without Tom Morello. His guitar solos are so 80's metal/arena rock it detracts too much.

For his studio / classic albums, I like The River, Nebraska, and Born In The USA. After that, probably Darkness On The Edge Of Town.
The classics... I personally enjoy Darkness at the top. Just a raw wonderful Springsteen album. Somewhat liked i always wish he would sound like.
From the beginning to Tunnel of Love, I’d have it:
1) Darkness on the Edge of Town, 2) Born to Run, 3) Nebraska, 4) The River, 5) The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle, 6) Born in the USA, 7) Greetings from Asbury Park, 8) Tunnel of Love

Gonna spend a few hours at work today listening to the last handful of Bruce albums I haven’t heard before. So that’s Lucky Town, The Ghost of Tom Joad, Devils & Dust, Wrecking Ball, and High Hopes. We’ll see how this goes.
