BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN...Born In The U.S.A.
Released: 30 years ago today, June 4, 1984
Highest Chart Position: 31 U.S. Billboard Album Charts
Track Highlights: Born In The U.S.A., I'm On Fire, Glory Days, Dancing In The Dark, My Hometown
Some people feel like that when Bruce released this album that the best part of his career was over, claiming that he had gone commercial, that it wasn't as good as his older albums. What if this album had not been the huge huge success it was? Would they have said the same thing? I doubt it. The album has to date sold a staggering 30 million copies worldwide. I think it's a fine album as two of my favorite Springsteen tracks are on this record ("I'm on Fire" and "My Hometown"). I personally recommend it but most of you have probably already heard this classic album from the Boss
