The Wild, The Innocent, and The E Street Shuffle has what I might call the best back to back songs on any album: Incident on 57th Street and Rosalita.

at least try darkness, which is kind of the antithesis of BTR.

I started as a Greatest Hits kind of guy. Its been a long slow build with bruce. he's a storyteller. His lyrics are phenomenal. The melodies and moods start to seep through over time. You get past the production elements and the glory ends up slamming you on your ass.
take Born in the USA which has arguably one of the cheesiest keyboard sounds ever (its also fantastic) with a huge chorus of Born in the USA. But the lyrics:
I had a brother at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now
ugh.

Wild is one of his absolute worst, what a mess

I would start myself with a live show like Hammerstein. I think live is where his music really flourishes, especially because some of the albums suffer from weird production and on Bruce’s part obsessive control over the sound. I always felt Bruce was at his best when he just let it go.
The original Pearl Jam??
