| 4 |  | Bruce Springsteen - The Essential Bruce Springsteen [Sony]
Listening to Bruce Springsteen makes me feel like an American, and it brings me back to my Jersey roots. Ok, I dont really have Jersey roots, but if I did, this would bring me back to them.

This is the only Radiohead album Ive ever purchased. Ive listened to everything theyve ever done, but this is the first time I actually gave them money. I like the wedding song the best.
