Discography: Bruce Springsteen

This great talent from New Jersey was always referred to as "the future of rock & roll", etc.  He eventually lived up to the billing with his epic Born in the U.S.A. album.  I still remember President Ronald Reagan's campaign wanting to use the title song for political appearances and thinking "Man, only a dunce would think that is a positive song for America!"  Some people just don't get it.  One thing's for sure--there aren't too many better live acts.  Here is a complete list of Springsteen's albums:
