is a radical departure: a folk revival album recorded in his New Jersey farmhouse with a 16-piece band. The title is misleading—it is not a tribute to Pete Seeger so much as a celebration of American folk as protest. “John Henry” becomes a labor anthem; “Erie Canal” a song about infrastructure as dignity.

A sprawling double album that captured both the euphoric highs and devastating lows of Springsteen’s musical identity. It balanced bar-band party rock ("Ramrod," "Cadillac Ranch") with haunting, desolate narratives of broken dreams ("The River," "Point Blank"). The album earned Springsteen his first Billboard No. 1 album. Nebraska (1982)
