582 - Bruce Springsteen Darkness On The Edge Of Town 1978

For his fourth record, Bruce Springsteen cut off his beard -- and also shaved the shaggy romantic epics of "Born to Run". What emerged were ten taut rock songs about people crushed by family, by lust, by living in this world every day. The awesome title track is a a brilliant close.

Some folks are born into a good life,
Other folks get it anyway, anyhow,
I lost my money and I lost my wife,
Them things don't seem to matter much to me now...
