I admire a lot more those who manage to add interesting and complex chords to an otherwise straightforward and relatively banal melody.
Mmm'kay. You have any great pop songwriting examples of this in mind?

I love big sounding productions, but the production on Born in the USA sounds really obnoxious to me... the drums in particular sound really shitty.

There's a drum solo at the end of the title track of Born in the USA that would sound great if it wasn't smothered in too much reverb.

The so-called (Bruce) album collection that came out a couple/few years ago is really tastefully remastered imo. the drums sound WAY less cardboard box-y, and in fact great

Graceland was robbed
Springsteen fans are so weird. I feel like I understand his appeal but it's just not for me at all.

I have a (probably entirely unfounded) suspicion that you have to be from the east coast to dig him. I don't know any native Californians that give a fuck about him for ex.

For me, this goes:
Brothers in Arms > Graceland > Born in the USA
I prefer The Rhythm of the Saints over Graceland, to be honest.
