"Born In The U.S.A." It is the most successful album and remembered by the great public of Bruce Springsteen and the one that discovers a new sound aspect in its musical aspect, which brought it closer to the more commercial pop rock.
It is also the most optimistic work of those that he had published until then, his texts are hopeful and with messages full of rage for continuing to fight until the end.
Here are two of his most successful songs such as "Dancing in The Dark" and "Cover Me" that despite its commerciality, monopolizes much of the protagonism of the album, making Springsteen a solid mass rock star and selling a whopping more than ten million copies of it.

Bruce Springsteen-Born To Run (1975)
Bruce Springsteen is one of rock's most inspired and influential songwriters and a generational icon from the 1970s and 1980s.
Considered the Boss of Rock, Springsteen has influenced millions of people who immediately identified themselves with situations lived in their own experiences such as the ones he narrated in his songs, since he spoke about the problems of the working class, of the normal citizen in times of rebellion and social demands.
His artistic explosion would come in 1975 with his album "Born To Run", songs like "Thunder Road", "Born To Run or Backstreets", they captured the essence of rock but dealing with themes such as homosexuality, companionship, passion, despair or anyone's dreams, often unfulfilled.
Musically it would be shown as an effective album and very well intertwined thanks to its solid band, the E Street Band, which became the true protagonists of those compositions.
The music provided here is spectacular, vibrant, powerful and direct, transcending much beyond its time, making this album an absolute work of rock.

Bruce Springsteen-The River (1980)
By the late 1970s, Bruce Springsteen had reached the maturity necessary to create a body of work far removed from the youthful dreams of his early albums. However, Springsteen faced a new decade immersed in a creative and personal crisis. The desire to deliver a new album that would meet the expectations of the public and his own record label kept him under constant physical and psychological pressure, and as a result, he discarded a series of tracks intended for an album that was ultimately rejected by the singer himself, who felt they lacked sufficient cohesion and quality for release. Some time later, he returned to the recording studio to tackle his most ambitious project, the one that would simultaneously cement his status as one of the world's leading rock stars. Recorded during the middle months of 1979 at Power Station Studios in New York, Springsteen once again collaborated with his band, The E Street Band, which, curiously, is not credited on the album cover. Released as a double LP, it contains 20 tracks in which the New Jersey musician addresses themes such as coldness, loneliness, melancholy, and attachment to family, but also topics related to youth, as in "Independence Day". Musically, "The River" is a journey through everything Springsteen had done up to that point, with that raw, uncompromising rock fused with hints of country, blues, soul, and folk, all backed by a flawless band, sounding solid and intense, yet vibrant and addictive.
