...Darkness on the Edge of Town? Pretty damn good if you ask me. I'm listening to it for the first time in over a year right now.

Fucking amazing. the only song I don't like is Adam Raised a Cain. Everything else is tops. Candy's Room may be my fave Springsteen song.

I have been obsessed with almost every one of his albums at one point or another, and this one is no exception.

I LOVE that album, including Adam Raised A Cane (but like it better on the live disc).

I don't know, because I've never heard it. My own fault.

"Candy's Room" is such a badass song.

I love this album also. Did anyone ever notice that the piano melody in Racing In The Street is used in the movie Pretty Woman?

Yeah, when I was young I used to make fun of my sister's Van Morrison albums cause I was all so Bowie Nation and all.

Silly me.

Born In The USA soured a bunch of people on Bruce, but he is and always will be cool.

Well, I never disparaged him, just made fun of his horn sections and strings and stuff. I was probably 10 at the time.

because a lot of people are stupid. The songs on this album SOUND a bit dated, but Jesus they are awesome.

Me too, I'm virtually ignorant about his entire 70s output; Only heard Born to Run a couple of years ago. Pretty damn good. Would like to hear more some time.

Totally agree. I just gotta wonder what was going on in Bruce's head because it sounded dated in 1984.
