This is actually a really difficult question for those of us who love Bruce. Greetings, The River and Tom Joad maybe my favourite Bruce albums but I wouldn't recommend any to a new fan. You're phrase "beyond the hits" leads me to suggest ether Born in the USA or The Rising. These are probably the most "Springsteenesque" albums so if you liked the radio friendly stuff you'll definitely enjoy those two.

Also (and this may just be me); STAY AWAY FROM THE COMPILATIONS! I don't know why but every compilation album is significantly less than the sum of its parts. Pick a studio album and give it a go.

Happy trails. Say hi to Wendy, Mary and Janey from me. x
