Most people don't know Freewheelin' Bob Dylan was recorded the night of his Bah Mitzvah.

Nas recorded "Illmatic"' at 20. That one always gets me.

Listening to "Born to Run" now -- in real life, "Thunder Road" would have been about 1:15 long, as as soon as the idiot narrator uttered the line "you ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright," he'd have immediately heard that screen door slam again.

"Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" might be my favorite Bruce tune.

Greil Marcus' original review of Born to Run for Rolling Stone.

Springsteen's answer is Born to Run. It is a magnificent album that pays off on every bet ever placed on him — a '57 Chevy running on melted down Crystals records that shuts down every claim that has been made.

What a perfect description.

I like "Born to Run" a lot but I've always preferred the records that surrounded it: "The Wild, The Innocent..." and "Darkness." But what a remarkable trilogy of records.

Born to Run has always been behind Nebraska and Darkness for me. All three are very close to perfect in my eyes though.

Excellent live. The one time I saw Bruce, CC had already passed. At the big man joined the band part they did a great tribute on the video board of him. Very cool. Few things in music are better than the Jungleland solo.

This.

Mary Queen of Arkansas might be my favorite Bruce song. Crazy he wrote it so young.

The Wild, the Innocent... is the one album I just can't get into. It sounds like a total mess to my ears; the production does not pull all the disparate instrumentation into a cohesive whole like on Born to Run.
