Bruce Springsteen..

The Boss . His best album is Born to run . The tracks follow each other brilliantly. "Thunder Road", the title track and "Jungleland" are awesome. Born in the USA must come next with another excellent title track, "Cover me", "Working the highway", "Glory days" and " I'm on fire". Strange as it might seem my next favourite album of his must be the recent The Rising. Again a good title track, also with "Lonesome day", "Into the fire", "Nothing man" and "Empty Sky". Other albums I like are The River , Darkness on the edge of town" and Tunnel of love. I can thank my wife for introducing his music to me. Unlike her I have not seem him live.

Some people compare Springsteen to Dylan. The idea that both brought certain special talents to them usic industry when they started yes I would agree with that. But otherwise they are like chalk and cheese. I would say Dylan has stronger lyrics and Springsteen's music is better. Combine the two and that would be awsome.

I have not seen Springsteen live, but I hear he puts on an awesome show, often playing for three hours.

Check out the DVD "Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band - Live in Barcelona". It is from The Rising tour, and is the complete concert taking two DVDs. Bruce has amazing energy, and loves the fans.

Another two DVD concert set is "Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band - Live in New York City" (I haven't seen this latter one).
