This is clearly one of the top rock albums of all-time. The one that put Springsteen's orbit into the top echelon of rock superstar. For years this 1984 release played out on the radio with BORN IN THE U.S.A.(Reagan's choice for a campaign song which was wisley declined, Reagan  must not have really listened to the lyrics), GLORY DAYS, DANCING IN THE DARK, MY HOMETOWN and it just goes on. I saw the Boss in concert that year in Philly. The man played for almost 4 hours, giving all he had in one of the greatest concerts I've ever seen. The Boss was definately Born to Play Rock and Roll.
