Best of 2007, number 6
Bruce Springsteen, 10\17\05, Philadelphia, PA, Wachovia Center, originally uploaded by bonobaltimore.
Bruce Springsteen - Magic. Personally, I never thought Bruce Springsteen would become the popular influence for artists of today, ala the Arcade Fire, Ryan Adams, and... The Killers? But after hearing his latter efforts like The Rising, Devils & Dust, and Magic, I can see why. This album captures the fears and worries of Americans, from the war to the economy, and says it in Springsteen's trademark way. The Boss is quickly taking the reins of rock's de facto poet laureate from Bob Dylan. He's a worthy successor.
