==================================== { 662nd Place } [80's][ 155th Place] Song: "Born In Te U.S.A." Band: Bruce Springsteen Album: Born In The U.S.A. ---{ 1984 }--- Genre: Rock Score:[8.2][8.2][4.2][6.3][7.3][8.2][9.2] = [51.6] = [7.371] Video:
Write-Up: I know a few Springsteen fans that always laude over the Boss and this song but to be perfectly honest... I kinda hate the song. I suppose it's a mix of overexposure and a disliking for the raspy vocals but I don't like how pretentious it seems on the surface. My first impression tells me that the song is about pride to be an american but for anyone who knows what the song is actually about, it's definitely not about pride. The song was written about the negative response our troops received after coming home from Vietnam which makes the statement "I was born in the U.S.A." more of a plea for acceptance despite what our government enlisted them to do. The song is probably one of the top 3 songs Bruce built his fame on even though it comes from his 7th studio album. ====================================
