What is MSSD?
MSSD is short for Mega Super Springsteen Day — one single day when all official studio albums with Bruce Springsteen are listened to, non-stop, with an American theme throughout. The first MSSD was held on March 9, 2002, and this is now an annual tradition.
Background
The idea came up in February 2002 when Fredrik and Mattias were (as usual) discussing Bruce and his music. Mattias said that they some time had to listen through all the official studio albums, and in one single day. Fredrik said "that would be cool!", and so the project was started. Fredrik later came up with the name of the day, and Mattias with the abbreviation.
"Mega Super Springsteen Day (MSSD) is an annual event dedicated to celebrating the music of Bruce Springsteen. The tradition began on March 9, 2002, and involves listening to all of Springsteen's official studio albums back-to-back throughout the day. The event typically has an American theme, with related activities, quizzes, and playlists complementing the marathon listening session. It appears that MSSD has become a beloved celebration for fans, with a strong online presence."
