Born In The U.S.A.
Bruce Springsteen
I've heard all these songs so much, it's difficult to listen with a fresh perspective, but I really tried to. The lyrics are powerful and provide an interesting commentary on the social climate of the time. I wish I could get over Springsteen's strained vocal performance and uninspiring musical arrangement because I think the songwriting is brilliant.

This is the perfect album for inspiration. I put it on while writing up a product proposal and it was great background music, but didn't get annoying or monotonous. I felt a littler braver while listening.

i hate it so much it's hard to continue listening. It's like christian rock, but somehow cheesier. It sounds like it should be on a kids show, like Romper Room or Barney, with kids sitting around singing about being nice to each other.
