While Atlantic City is a good song, I think springsteen\'s best work occured when the E Street Band was in the early years, the first 2 albums. That said, I think his best song, EVER, is \"The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle.\" The arrangement is outstanding and it is pre pop and the influence of Steve Van Zandt. This is not to say I don\'t like Van Zandt, he is an amazing artist, it is just I feel the songs fell into the trap of being more radio friendly and less musically creative.
