121. Bruce Springsteen 1975 - 1987: Episode 5 ‘Born in the USA’ (1984)

“Glory days, well they'll pass you by”. Podcast co-host Stephen has gotten into Bruce Springsteen in a big way this year (2023). So much so that he’s corralled friend and lifelong Boss fan Davie Melon into joining him for a Springsteen side-series covering his studio output from 1975 to 1987. So join them on their aural adventure from ‘Born to Run’ to ‘Tunnel of Love’ as they critique and rank each album, and create the ultimate under 50 minute, single vinyl Springsteen singles collection. In this, the fifth episode, we revisit Springsteen’s seventh album, by some margin his greatest commercial success - ‘Born in the USA’ (1984). The Boss sold over 29M copies of the album & scored 7 top ten US hit singles from it, including his biggest seller ‘Dancing in the Dark’. Despite its huge success, do Stephen & Davie think the album is on par with Springsteen’s previous releases? Are there any non-singles which deserve more attention? What do they think of each single and where would they rank them? Listen now to find out. Also, look out for archive interview clips, promos and album facts. Come back next month for ‘Tunnel of Love’ (1987). Like the podcast?
