mjmooney Posted March 9, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 9, 2012 TBH, after the first four albums (Asbury Park, Wild & Innocent, Born to Run, Darkness) I dislike most of his albums except the acoustic/folky ones mentioned above. I HATED Born in the USA from the moment I heard it - mainly because of the horrible 80s production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I HATED Born in the USA from the moment I heard it - mainly because of the horrible 80s production. I took me about 20 years to realize that I did in fact, really like Born in the USA. You could argue that the production value on a lot of his songs before that album was a bit over the top (think Born to Run, Hungry Heart, etc.) But if you listen to "My Hometown" and "I'm on Fire", they are both sparsely produced tunes that don't scream "The 80's"...in my opinion, anyway.

Apart from Dancing in the Dark and Born in the USA the rest of that LP is great. I love Darlington County :0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Jack of All Trades, what a track Great song! Tbh, theres only one or two tracks that dont quite hit the right mark on this record for me. Personal faves are Shackled & Drawn, Death to my Hometown and Land of Hope and Dreams. Love the boston/irish feel to parts of the album, then other songs have that gospel/bluesy sound then you got the straight up rock songs for the commoners. *Waits for the cynics to point out that that describes most Boss albums* Back on topic, Young couples on facebook that update about nothing else except their dog.

Ginko Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I understand what you mean, it's the same with Children In Need when they go to Africa and show how poor these kids are, or kids dying in hospitals and stuff like that. It's depressing stuff, but it works. These are the sorts of things that we would like to be blissfully ignorant about but they're real and they happen. They work as they're intended, and if it works and people donate and ultimately some lives are saved then it's worth it in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few things I detest more* than fumbling, myopic, amusingly guilt-ridden yet ignorant people in developed countries who sign up for community service "projects" in Third World states that are just a few days in length and do nothing apart from siphon the gullible into parting with their hard-earned money. No, the village in Cambodia doesn't need YOU to build houses for them, especially considering that you have probably never held a spanner in your life - what it does need are funds, food, ideas. *Hyperbole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Popped into a shop yesterday and there was a lovely lady at the head of the queue. She was wearing those tight black leggings and an equally tight black top. Now the annoyance, there were several guys in the queue and she obviously felt (quite rightly) that many were checking out her lovely behind. She spent the whole time trying to pull down her top over her backside as much as she could. Why on earth did she leave the house wearing what amounted to a pair of socks stretched over her whole body if she was paranoid of being looked at?

Stevo985 Posted March 12, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 12, 2012 Exagerration of distances in football. There's a story on the BBC gossip column about Luis Adriano having the miss of the season because he fired over "from a yard" Yet the video attached to the story clearly shows him hitting it on exactly the edge of the 6 yard box And the other day I was watching highlights of League 1 (I think) and the commentator declared that the player had scored with a "powerful drive from 30 yards" when he clearly hits it just (and I mean just) outside the edge of the penalty area. Don't make it so obvious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
