10 Biggest-Selling Rock Music Albums Of All Time

10. Born In The USA - Bruce Springsteen

There's probably a good amount of people who have Born in the USA in their house that have no idea what the song is really about. Considering this was an album that shows a working class man's butt against the backdrop of an American flag, this should be an ode to everything great about the stars and stripes, right? Well, actually not at all when you get down to the lyrics.

After selling over 15 million copies, people have started to realize what they bought into, with many of Springsteen's most celebrated songs detailing the more rougher side of American living. Though you have the rough and tumble American spirit behind something like No Surrender and Working on the Highway, the characters in these songs are a lot more down and out than they were on Born to Run, like the man stuck in his own life on My Hometown or leaving behind a lover on Downbound Train.

Hell, The Boss himself thought that the record was a little too dark that he ended up livening up the arrangement of Glory Days to make it into more of a comedy than a tragedy. Then again, that's just a testament to the E Street Band as a whole. Leave it to these guys to make the death of the American Dream sound like the most passionate music in the world.
