The album Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen is dark and stark and a third characteristic that rhymes with ark. Rather than the uptempo traditional E-street band that people either loathe or love, this is just Bruce, as opposed to the Boss, on an acoustic guitar and a harmonica, singing in his kitchen into a four-track. He is really the John Steinbeck of America singing about crappy lives in America. This is probably the darkest out of them all (e.g. gambling, loan sharks, getting tied up with the mob). It is really quite haunting. I recommend either following it up with some ska, or you could go the other way and slip into an all encompassing depression. You know, whatev.

P.S. If you want to hear an awkward story about this album, ask David Fletcher
