Happy 35th! Aug 24, 2010
Happy 35th birthday, "Born To Run" by "The Boss" Mr. Bruce Springsteen. It was released August 25,1975.
After 2 moderate selling albums "Greetings" #60 and "Innocent" #59, this record surprised everybody, the hooks and the anthems were everywhere. Led by the new E-Street Band, Roy Bittan, Clarence "Big Man" Clemons, Danny Federici,Gerry Tallent, Stevie Van Zandt and Max Weinberg, Bruce and the boys would have 8 songs that still get played in concerts today. With classic rockers like the hit title track #23, "Thunder Road", "She's the One", "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" #83 and "Night", and the classic anthems "Jungleland" and "Backstreets". And the pensive ballad "Meeting Across The River". "Born to Run" hit #3 in the charts and they have never looked back. Saw Bruce perform the "Born To Run" album in St.Louis on his last tour, Awesome! Again Happy Birthday "Born To Run" 35 years old, today. One of rock's classic covers.
Great album - one of Springsteen's best pieces of work ever May 03, 2010
Born to Run is one of Springsteen's best albums, and that's not just my opinion - it's a fact. This very album is Springsteen's breakthrough album. It peaked at #3 on the Billboard 200, and by 2000 six million copies had been sold. Two singles come from this album - Thunder Road, and of course, Born to Run. These singles, and the rest of the content on this album, make it one of his best. This album is definitely a must-have if you are a Springsteen fan.
One Of The Greatest Albums Ever Made Period!!! Jan 07, 2010
I Love This Album. All The Songs On Here Are Great. The Only Song On Here I'm Not Totally Keen On Is "Meeting Across The River". Other Than That The Rest Are Great. I Think Everyone Should Own This Album. I Would Give This Album More Stars If I Could. It's That Great.
One of the best rock albums Jan 07, 2010
Previously, I thought Springsteen was overrated. My friend convinced me to buy this album, and I'm glad I did. Nearly every track is great. I recommend this even for the casual fan, as it won't disappoint.

Defining Moment Oct 15, 2009
It was the summer of 1975. I was entering my senior year in college. And popular music was languishing, still not recovered from the breakup of the Beatles in 1970. The music charts included such hits as "My Eyes Adored You" by Franki Valli, "Mandy" by Barry Manilow and "Love Will Keep Us Together" by Captain and Tenille. The critics, just like myself, were waiting for the next "big thing" in music. Something ground-breaking, earth shattering, mind-blowing. The Beatles had done that with "Sgt. Pepper" a long 8 summers earlier. Would we ever have an experience like that again listening to music?
Then out of nowhere(well actually from the swamps of Jersey) came Bruce Springsteen with this album. From the first drop of the needle, it was obvious that this was something special. This wasn't KC and the Sunshine Band or John Denver...heck, this wasn't even Paul McCartney and Wings. No this was something unique, powerful and important. Music had its new voice.
Bruce has gone on to make other great music. He continues to provide 3 hours of some of the best live concerts you could ever hope to see. But it was with this album, it was at that moment in August '75, that many of us got to have that experience for the first time. The experience of Bruce's greatness. The experience of his music transending the average, the mundane of daily life. Taking us on a journey that we will never forget.
