He got away with using the same guitar riff for almost all of his popular songs

Has an argument for THE greatest album of all time

If you're a millennial and haven't listened to this album, you might wanna rewind your life and try again. Yes, he is polarizing, controversial and more often than not stubborn... this album started the 5-album run he went on that cannot and will not be overlooked.

Let the Dead Out, Get the Led Out...Bow to Bruce? This album is essential to how I grew up - it was played in the car, on the stereo in the house, on my iPod on the bus to school. My mom raised me to love Bruce's work during this time of his career. Trying to pick between "Darkness on the Edge of Town" and this album is hard for me because I love them both equally. Every song tells of relatable struggle, looking for a sense of belonging, and perseverance through the absolute hardest of times. It might seem basic to love this album and this version of Bruce Springsteen in general, but I simply do not care. No skips on this album at all.

Found this album to be more background noise than impactful for me. I like Van Morrison's music, but this album really was not for me.

I've been listening through many of The Beatles' albums through a list by Rolling Stone (1st edition of "500 Greatest Albums of All Time") and this has so far been the best and my favorite one. Iconic sounds, album imagery and songwriting when, in my opinion, the band was hitting its peak.
