Hard to believe that this seminal 80's album turns 40 on June 4th. Any fans of "Born in the U.S.A." by Bruce Springsteen? This is the album that made Bruce a major star and household name thanks to radio and MTV. Plenty of memorable songs like the title track Born in the U.S.A., Glory Days, Dancing in the Dark, I'm on Fire, etc.

AWESOME album! I still have a copy of this album on vinyl - somewhere. Needless to say, videos were in heavy rotation on MuchMusic (at the time), as well as the CHUM-FM top 30. BTW, the girl dancing with Bruce at the end of the video for "Dancing In The Dark": Anyone you know? ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Joker's Wilde

It's good, but too 80's commercial pop for me. I like all his earlier albums before this much better.

You got it! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Probably the second worst kept secret in 80s pop culture. The worst was that Michael Jackson sang the main chorus in the song "Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell. At the time, it was uncredited. However, most knew it was MJ. It may have been a couple of years later when I saw Courtney on a show - I'm thinking it was "Family Ties". My response? OH! It's the girl from the Springsteen video. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Joker's Wilde
