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

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.

I quite liked Wrecking Ball. I thought it was his best album since he brought E Street back together.
Edit: best album with e Street since he brought e Street back together.
Edit 2: 1) Wrecking Ball, 2) Magic, 3) The Rising, 4) High Hopes, 5) Working on a Dream.
I didn’t count the Seeger sessions or his solo work which were both really great.

For his studio / classic albums, I like The River, Nebraska, and Born In The USA. After that, probably Darkness On The Edge Of Town.

I'd swap Magic and Wrecking Ball, but otherwise I agree.
