The next major chapter in my musical journey would be when I was at college in Leeds in the mid-'80s & my then girlfriend introduced me to Springsteen's Born In The USA album & then to The River. That started me on a long love affair with Springsteen's music which is still with me today.

We went to see him in Roundhay Park on the tour that year & I've probably seen him 30 times since. While I've never liked the title track, the album is an all-time great & of course it gave us that seminal music video for Dancing In The Dark, featuring a very young Courtney Cox!

As for The River, the last 3 tracks on it are about as good as music gets, for me.
