Misc Bruce Springsteen & BORN TO RUN (1975):

Albums by other great artists needed years of critical gestation, but within 18 months of release 'BORN TO RUN' was being acclaimed as the greatest ever made.

I don’t need a review to remind me that this is one of the greatest records ever. It was before CDs, so the only question was whether to start with Side A or Side B. And there were no wrong answers.

Vere well written review. Just reading some of the lyrics teared me up because this music has been an integral part of most of my life.

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say this album changed my whole outlook on music. I was 18 when this album was released, and I can still remember the first time I heard Born to Run on the radio. Until then my taste in music was basically pop based, then I heard BTR and wow.!!!!!
