"Born in the USA" is Bruce's best selling but also most misunderstood album. The music is very catchy and has a more more commercial "pop" sound than his earlier records. In fact, it produced 7 hit singles which also received heavy airplay on MTV. This all contributed to Bruce's transformation from rock outsider to pop culture icon - almost to the point of parody. But Bruce, through his integrity and authenticity, managed to hold on to his true identity and continue to make great music.
