Born In The U.S.A.' features some of the most radio-friendly performances in Springsteen's entire discography, which brilliantly disguise much of the emotional turmoil simmering underneath (case in point: the anthemic title track, a harrowing tale of a Vietnam veteran that Ronald Reagan attempted to co-opt for his presidential re-election campaign).
Altogether, 'Born In The U.S.A.' amassed seven Top 10 hits, including "Dancing In The Dark," "Glory Days" and "I'm Goin' Down," and the album became 1985's biggest-selling LP, spending 84 weeks in Billboard's Top 10.
