Ranked by our critic's grades, best first.

  1. The Dark Side of the Moon1973Forty three minutes on money, time, madness and death that plays like one continuous piece and never sags.Read the review
  2. The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle1973Seven songs, most of them long, all of them jazz loose and full of people with names. The one nobody bought.
  3. Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.1973Too many words per line and not enough money in the budget, but the writing is already frightening.
