Just current pop girls, a tiny tiny fraction of his impact:
Your fave JabGa the Hutt (Born This Way, a reference to Born to Run/Born in the USA, using his saxophonist, the 80s stadium rock vibe, the lyrics about escaping your current circumstances)
Lana Del Rey (all those references to driving and escaping and the sense of romantic fatalism, she's also name-dropped him in a couple of songs)
Lorde (more of that with emphasis on economic alienation, another of his core themes)
Halsey (more of that in a horribly watered down mallrat friendly version)
Taylor Swift (1989 sounds like his late 80s works)
Rihanna (American Oxygen was explicitly designed to be a modern version of Born int he USA)
