Meggie Queen of Arkansas...
May 5^th, 2008 at 11:51am

Meg!

Bought "Greetings for Asbury Park" a month ago and am digesting it now that "Kinks Week" is over...

just wondering how you springsteen nuts think this album compares to band on the run, beware of darkness on the edge of town, and nebraska me why....the only other of bruce's albums that i am overly familiar with.

i seriously dig bruce...but i don't dig him the way i dig my stones, dylan, bowie or beatles....

Greetings wouldnt be close to my favourite Bruce album - although aside from Mary Queen of Arkansas and The Angel (both of which I've never liked) the rest of the album is really good.....the songs when played live, though, are another matter...and its still a better album than Born In The USA, Human Touch or Lucky Town.

My favourite is probably either The Wild, The Innocent & the E Street Shuffle or Born to Run.

Starbuck - you have blasphemed by referring to Bruce's meisterwork 3rd album as "Band on the run". Please edit your post immediately to avoid further distress and embarrassment.

It was the first album of his that actually made sense to me - I was long familiar with the man's music, but Greetings was the first disc that really made me "get it." I certainly like everything on it - Mary Queen of Arkansas was an early fave of mine, actually - and it has a wonderful sound to it.

These days, it's his second album that stands as my favorite, but I still have a soft spot for his debut.
