** While he doesn't hate the two albums themselves, he acknowledges that ''Human Touch'' and ''Lucky Town'' were not well received by the broader public, making reference to them as containing "happy songs" in his Rock'N'Roll Hall of Fame induction speech. That said, from those albums he seems to like "Human Touch" and "Better Days", since he chose them for his 1995 GreatestHitsAlbum, and also "If I Should Fall Behind", which he often played in concerts and is also a fan favorite though it flopped as a single.

That said, from those albums he seems to like "Human Touch" and "Better Days", since he chose them for his 1995 GreatestHitsAlbum, "Living Proof" for being very autobiographical, and also "If I Should Fall Behind", which he often played in concerts and is also a pretty impressive fan favorite though it flopped as a single.

* DoingItForTheArt: A major concern for Springsteen as he crafted several thematically-focused albums. He would often leave off many great hit songs if they didn't fit the thematic focus of the record or had the potential to overshadow the album.

* RarelyPerformedSong: "Streets of Philadelphia", despite being among the artist's most popular songs, is kind of a BlackSheepHit, being a synthesizer-driven SoftRock ballad, and therefore is not particularly popular in concerts.
** Among his other popular hits, "Human Touch" has been performed only sporadically, but a really straight example is "Secret Garden", with only 8 performances.
** The entire "Western Stars" qualifies, given that Bruce played all the songs live only once just before the release of the album.

** David Sancious was the E Street Band's original keyboardist. He played on the first two albums along with the TitleTrack of ''Music/BornToRun'' before starting his solo career as a Main/JazzFusion artist. He was replaced by Roy Bittan who became a key component in developing the E Street Band's sound.
