Album notes
On Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band’s GREATEST HITS, the «Greatest» part is largely undeniable, but «Hits» is technically a misnomer, since some of these songs barely dented the Top 40, and some weren’t even singles. That said, with the exception of latter-day tracks «Lonesome Day» and «Radio Nowhere,» these are undoubtedly some of the most iconic tunes in Springsteen’s mighty canon. From the loose, Bob Dylan-meets-Van Morrison rush of early tracks like «Rosalita» to the intense, trenchant drive of «Dancing in the Dark» and «Born in the U.S.A.,» this is Springsteen and the E Street Band (as opposed to Springsteen the solo artist) at their most essential and unforgettable. If a single disc is as far as you want to go in exploring their music, start here.
