Being a favorite for the professional music critics, Springsteen is always an interesting listen. His all albums are very good, even Human Touch and Lucky Town, to me.

Okay, not just very good, EXTREMELY good! I had to create a new highest grade category just so that the extremes will get acclaim.
It's quite easy to say that Springsteen is my favorite album artist, but he is NOT the best if looking at individual songs. No-one beats Elton in that!
Total NOD: 0 (Well done, boss!)
