57 Channels is from his Human Touch cd, released simultaneously with his Lucky Town cd. That was a really weird time in his career. He had married that girl from California. Some model, I forget her name.
He was actually living out there for a while, and his music reflects that. Both those cds have an odd, distant feel to them, like he's an outsider, looking in and relating what he sees. I don't think he was very happy during that time.
Tunnel Of Love is one of his cds from the late 80's that has a lot of very good songs about relationships. One Step Up and Brilliant Disguise are excellent studies in miscommunication between lovers.
I agree with the above statement about Born In The USA. It's easily his most commercial album, and the one that put him on the map 'for the masses'. Up until that point, I think the highest he'd charted was maybe around #30 or so, even though all his albums had sold well up to that point.
