Not liking Graceland is a deal-breaker, Joe. Sorry! My divorce lawyer will be in touch.

I mean, Born to Run is a perfect album. Born in the USA could probably use a re-sequencing but he included probably all the right songs.

I understand.

We had some good times though, didn't we? It wasn't all bad, was it?

I should take this to the admit something thread.

But... man do I really not like Graceland.

This is one of the very few things we disagree on Farmer John. But that's good. Keeps the relationship spicy. :naughty:
I cannot stand Graceland either. So that's something.

The title track famously is, no?
I have no idea. Probably.

I agree.

But I also agree that In The USA is a pretty perfect mainstream album

I suggested it above. It's a perfect album for what it is.

Wildflowers might be perfect. Full Moon Fever is not because of Zombie Zoo - it’s a fun song but it doesn’t really fit. Damn the Torpedoes is perfect perhaps, and same producer as Born to Run so go figure.
