Bruce Springsteen – The Rising

Biography
Freehold, New Jersey, US (1972 – present)
Springsteen’s lyrics often concern men and women struggling to make ends meet. In this sense he was sometimes compared to Woody Guthrie. He has gradually become identified with progressive politics. Springsteen is also noted for his support of various relief and rebuilding efforts in New Jersey and elsewhere, and for his response to the September 11, 2001 attacks, on which his album The Rising reflects.
Springsteen’s recordings have tended to alternate between commercially accessible rock albums and somber folk-oriented works. Much of his iconic status stems from the concerts and marathon shows in which he and the E Street Band present intense ballads, rousing anthems, and party rock and roll songs, amongst which Springsteen intersperses long, whimsical or deeply emotional stories.
Springsteen has long had the nickname “The Boss,” a term which he was initially reported to dislike but now seems to have come to terms with, as he sometimes jokingly refers to himself as such on stage.

Oh isn't he just a master storyteller? The Ghost of Tom Joad is such a feast of the cinematic; intense and brilliant narrative songs.

I think I personally still prefer Born to Run - it's just more romantic and hopeful - but I've been listening to Darkness... a lot recently. It's a pretty cool soundtrack to a late bicycle riding session when the streets are pretty desolate and deserted. Very poignant & moving record. Just somber.

So, which album does the average Boss fan prefer, Darkness on the Edge of Town or Born to Run?

@violettte1 I'd recommend Darkness. It does the job for me when I'm depressed.

@violette1 Nebraska is pretty depressing. But The River is good for when you're depressed and need a pick me up, imo.
