He has released twenty studio albums, many of which feature his backing band, the\u00a0E Street Band. Originally from the\u00a0Jersey Shore, he is one of the originators of the\u00a0heartland rock\u00a0style of music, combining mainstream rock musical style with narrative songs about working class American life. During a career that has spanned five decades, Springsteen has become known for his poetic, socially conscious lyrics and energetic stage performances, sometimes lasting up to four hours in length.[1]\u00a0He has been nicknamed &#8220;the Boss&#8221;.[2]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While he received critical acclaim for his first two albums,&nbsp;Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Wild, the Innocent &amp; the E Street Shuffle&nbsp;(both 1973), Springsteen failed to find a mainstream audience with his&nbsp;Dylanesque&nbsp;folk rock&nbsp;style. Threatened to be dropped by his label unless sales improved, he changed up his style and reached worldwide popularity with his third album,&nbsp;Born to Run, released in 1975. Legal battles with his management following the success of&nbsp;Born To Run&nbsp;kept Springsteen out of the studio for three years; the 1978 follow-up album&nbsp;Darkness on the Edge of Town&nbsp;features much darker lyrical themes, and has been assessed as one of the most critically lauded of his albums. The three year gap had given Springsteen enough time to write dozens of new songs, several of which were held over for his 1980 double album&nbsp;The River, which would be his first album to reach the top spot on the&nbsp;Billboard&nbsp;200&nbsp;album chart. Changing gears in 1982, he released a solo album of demo recordings,&nbsp;Nebraska, without the E Street Band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recorded over several sessions beginning in 1982 with the E Street Band,&nbsp;Born in the U.S.A.&nbsp;(1984) is Springsteen&#8217;s most commercially successful album, making him one of the most successful rock figures of the 1980s. It was certified&nbsp;15&nbsp;\u00d7 platinum&nbsp;in the US and has sold 30&nbsp;million copies worldwide, making it one of the&nbsp;best-selling albums of all time. Seven of its singles reached the top 10 of the&nbsp;Billboard&nbsp;Hot 100&nbsp;including the&nbsp;title track, which was a bitter commentary on the treatment of&nbsp;Vietnam veterans&nbsp;\u2014 some of whom were Springsteen&#8217;s friends. Advocating for the rights of the common working-class man, the song made a huge political impact.[3]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Already well known for his live shows, a&nbsp;box set&nbsp;of live recordings,&nbsp;Live 1975\u201385, was released in 1986. By the late 1980s, Springsteen had put the E Street Band on hiatus, and though individual members of the band were brought in to record some parts, he released his next three albums,&nbsp;Tunnel of Love&nbsp;(1987),&nbsp;Human Touch&nbsp;(1992), and&nbsp;Lucky Town&nbsp;(1992) using mostly session musicians. He re-assembled the E Street Band to record four new tracks for his 1995&nbsp;Greatest Hits&nbsp;compilation, and then released the folk album&nbsp;The Ghost of Tom Joad, for which he won a&nbsp;Grammy&nbsp;for Best Contemporary Folk Album. The rest of the 1990s were mostly quiet, as Springsteen only released a five-song EP of new material,&nbsp;Blood Brothers&nbsp;(1996), which contained unreleased recordings from the brief 1995 reunion with the E Street Band. An outtakes collection was released as a boxed set in 1998,&nbsp;Tracks, and in 1999 in abridged form as the single album&nbsp;18 Tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reunion with the E Street Band occurred following the&nbsp;September 11 attacks, with the album&nbsp;The Rising&nbsp;serving as a tribute to the people who died in the attacks. It would be the first full-length album of new material by the group in 18 years. Springsteen released two more folk albums,&nbsp;Devils &amp; Dust&nbsp;in 2005, and&nbsp;We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions&nbsp;in 2006, which won him another Grammy, this one for Best Traditional Folk Album. Two more albums with the full E Street Band followed:&nbsp;Magic&nbsp;(2007) and&nbsp;Working on a Dream&nbsp;(2009). In 2010 he released&nbsp;The Promise, a collection of unused tracks from the&nbsp;Darkness on the Edge of Town&nbsp;sessions. His solo album&nbsp;Wrecking Ball&nbsp;(2012) would be his biggest album in a decade, reaching the number one spot on the&nbsp;Billboard&nbsp;200 and the same level of success in numerous countries around the world,&nbsp;Rolling Stone&nbsp;named it their album of the year for 2012, and it produced three Grammy nominations. The follow-up album,&nbsp;High Hopes&nbsp;(2014) recorded with the E Street Band and guest musician&nbsp;Tom Morello, also reached number 1 on the album charts. Delving into&nbsp;country music&nbsp;for the first time, he released the solo album&nbsp;Western Stars&nbsp;in 2019, and amid the&nbsp;COVID-19&nbsp;pandemic released his most recent album in 2020,&nbsp;Letter to You, recorded with the E Street Band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Springsteen has released a number of well known songs that have been mainstays on mainstream rock and&nbsp;classic rock&nbsp;stations. Among these are &#8220;Born to Run&#8221; (1975), &#8220;Thunder Road&#8221; (1975), &#8220;Badlands&#8221; (1978), &#8220;Hungry Heart&#8221; (1980), &#8220;The River&#8221; (1980), &#8220;Atlantic City&#8221; (1982), &#8220;Dancing in the Dark&#8221; (1984), &#8220;I&#8217;m on Fire&#8221; (1984), &#8220;Glory Days&#8221; (1984), &#8220;Brilliant Disguise&#8221; (1987), &#8220;Human Touch&#8221; (1992), &#8220;Streets of Philadelphia&#8221; (1994), &#8220;The Rising&#8221; (2002), and &#8220;We Take Care of Our Own&#8221; (2012).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the\u00a0album era&#8217;s prominent acts, Springsteen has sold more than 150 million records worldwide and more than 64\u00a0million albums in the United States, making him one of the\u00a0world&#8217;s best-selling music artists. He has earned numerous awards for his work, including 20\u00a0Grammy Awards, two\u00a0Golden Globes, an\u00a0Academy Award, and a\u00a0Special Tony Award\u00a0(for\u00a0Springsteen on Broadway). Springsteen was inducted into both the\u00a0Songwriters Hall of Fame\u00a0and the\u00a0Rock and Roll Hall of Fame\u00a0in 1999, received the\u00a0Kennedy Center Honors\u00a0in 2009, was named\u00a0MusiCares\u00a0person of the year in 2013, and was awarded the\u00a0Presidential Medal of Freedom\u00a0by President\u00a0Barack Obama\u00a0in 2016. He is ranked 23rd on\u00a0Rolling Stone&#8217;s\u00a0list of the\u00a0Greatest Artists of All Time.[4]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>View more &#8211; Wikipedia.org:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bruce_Springsteen\">https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bruce_Springsteen<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bruce Springsteen https:\/\/m.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Bruce+Springsteen+playlist Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen\u00a0(born September 23, 1949) is an American singer, songwriter, and musician.
