Bruce Springsteen Band • Page 77

Started with Streets of Philadelphia Sessions. "Maybe I Don't Know You" is so awesome.

 

absolutely loved disc 1

 

"One Beautiful Morning" is a weird fit with the rest of this disc so far. I like it, but the live drums and general bright vibe are a big change.

 

blind spot!!!! fuck!

 

“Maybe I don’t know you” !! Fuck!!

 

feels like proto-war on drugs haha

 

A night drive to that song would fix me

 

Every SINGLE song floors me and makes me want to make a post lol it’s unsustainable. Waiting on the end of the world !

 

I really dig “Don’t Back Down” from the first disc. Feels like it could slot right in alongside some of those more country-leaning hits from Born in the USA.

 

I’ve just listened to disc 2 over and over, it’s so good. I can’t believe we have seven albums here.

 

Lots of cool stuff on L.A. Garage Sessions. "Don't Back Down On Our Love" and "Unsatisfied Heart" are my initial favorites. I had never searched out the bootleg of this so it's all new to me.

 

Faithless is wonderful morning music

 

that album really isn't for me

 

delivery man feels like a mcmurtry song

would have to check but it might even be the same chords as choctaw bingo haha

 

Totally tangential but where should I start with McMurtry?

 

i really like his last two LPs. choctaw is his best song but I don't think that album is the best

edit: last two prior to the one that came out like last week. haven't listened yet. complicated games and the horses & the hounds are the ones I meant

 

Horses and the Hounds is his best imo. Then Childish Things and I recommend Live in Aught Three to get familiar with the highlights of his pre 2000s stuff. The first four or five records are kinda uneven and the production often leaves something to be desired but the good songs are among the best I’ve ever heard and the live album takes care of the production issues. Plus his best song isn’t on any studio records (Lights of Cheyenne) but is on the live album.

Then if you dig that, the new one is great too and then I also think you would really really like Complicated Game from 2015.

 

Also yeah some days Choctaw Bingo is his best song instead. Other days it’s Canola Fields. Okay I won’t derail the Bruce thread anymore lol

 

Okay so far I’ve heard the first two and most of the last one. I’d heard a version of the garage sessions before but it had been a long time so that’s my favorite right now. Agree that The War on Drugs owe a lot to some of these songs, in the best way.

Philadelphia sessions are awesome and a couple songs on there are among the best he’s put out post Tunnel of Love. Lyrics don’t do it for me in spots but it’s musically interesting enough throughout that that’s a minor gripe. And the best songs have gripping lyrics, see my comment last night about Something in the Well. Really loved Farewell Party too.

Started to listen to Faithless but wasn’t feeling it. Skipped ahead and listened to a few songs each on the other records and obviously this is very preliminary but I especially liked what I heard on on Something North of Nashville and Perfect World. Seems there may be some songs on Perfect World that are better than tracks that made the last few E Street records; always curious what his thought process is there when a song could potentially fit thematically

 

Perfect World is the one I'm feeling the least so far. Some good songs on there, but it definitely feels stitched together and definitely feels like b-sides. Whereas a lot of these really are fully realized albums.

 

“sunday love” feels like … a nick cave song??

 

faithless and inyo just very much are not for me, basically deleted them from the library as soon as they finished. love the first two records, nashville record was a mixed bag but some stuff i liked

twilight hours is a wild one so far

 

Fucking heathen.

 

I haven't listened to all of it yet, but I'm really digging "The Great Depression"

 

Kinda wild someone already ranked every song lol https://www.setlistkitchen.com/post...the-lost-albums-ranked?referral=business-feed
