This is one of the few Springsteen albums I never bothered to get on CD. I have downloaded tons of concerts, only one or two are from the BitUSA tour.

I was 13 when BitUSA came out and I became a huge Springsteen fan. After listening to that tape about 1000 times, my dad came into my room and gave me his old records of Born to Run, Darkness and The River, as well as a bootleg of a 1978 concert he taped off the radio. THat pretty much ended my listening to Born in the USA.

I'd rank his albums in this order:

Born to Run
Darkness
Nebraska
Wild, Innocent
Greetings
The River
Born In The USA
Tunnel of Love
Tom Joad
Seeger Sessions
Luckytown
Human Touch

So it falls in the middle. Lots of big hits, but overall far from his best.
