I just bought Bruce Springsteen's first album, "Greeting From Asbury Park" (1973). It is alright, the best song is "Blinded By The Light". I didn't know Springsteen made that song. The Manfred Man's Earth Band version from 1976 is better and much more progressive as well as more sad. I like Bruce Springsteen. "Greeting From Asbury Park" is not his best album, he made better albums later in the 70's. I notice that Springsteen is influenced a lot by Ragtime music,. ragtime made a comeback in the 70's. I can hear the Ragtime influence from thet piano/keyboard playing style.
I will, I always liked Bruce Springsteen, he was one of the first artists I listened to in the 1980's.
ZZ top for me. Every time I think of Bruce Springsteen Born in the USA comes to mind. Also really like that Pink Cadillac song.
