Springsteen = provisionally no. Definite no if you're talking about his 1972-1975 material (especially The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle), likely no if it's the 1978-1982 material, definite yes if you're talking about 1984 (BITUSA) and afterwards. |

Actually the Seeger Sessions was good though. |

i dont see a huge diff, i was expecting a categorical yes or no..... |

Date: January 14th, 2007 5:17 PM Author: vibrant party of the first part associate There's a huge gap in quality & credibility between Springsteen (who has both, at least until around 1984 or so) and Bon Jovi (who never had either).
Hey, anybody want a mix of obscure Springsteen gems? I'm in that sort of mood... |

Date: January 14th, 2007 5:34 PM Author: vibrant party of the first part associate That's actually an okayish song, but nothing special. I count only one really memorable song in Springsteen's post-1984 career, and that's "Brilliant Disguise." (Off the same album as the song you quoted.)

LOL. i actually lost a lot of respect for the guy with his politically charged BS album that came out a while ago..... i was verging on calling him TTT myself, except for the old stuff (though i draw the line later than 1984) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=563709&forum_id=2#7418029) |

Date: January 14th, 2007 5:27 PM Author: splenetic nursing home kitty cat I'm still not sure why you'd mention Springsteen and Bon Jovi in the same thread title.
Springsteen was an actual songwriter with quite a lot of skill, and some well-regarded pop gems. Listen to "Highway Patrolman" off the Nebraska album, for example. That's a music COMPOSITION, not just a throwaway song.
Bon Jovi is just terrible. Music for nostalgic yuppie women, in fact. Blunt, unskilled, maudlin, etc. Now and then, he'd have a passable hook, but he never did anything memorable MUSICALLY.

Date: January 14th, 2007 5:32 PM Author: vibrant party of the first part associate This is 100% TCR. Excellent call on "Highway Patrolman," too. That one's just a heartbreaker. It's the lyrics that make that one though, not the melody; Springsteen always had a good band behind him, and could string chords together pretty well, but he never could write a great melody.
The best song from the Born In The U.S.A. era is one that didn't even make the album, and was actually first written & performed back in 1976: "Frankie." Check that shit out, it's titanic. (Can be found on disc 3 of Tracks.)

Date: January 14th, 2007 5:44 PM Author: arousing gold native voyeur Nebraska is an awesome album, as is a lot of his late 70s stuff. The way I see it, if the purpose of a song is to tell a story then Bruce is one of the top 10 or so. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=563709&forum_id=2#7418163) |

All too credited. |

Posting of your Springsteen gems would be MUCH appreciated. TY! (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=563709&forum_id=2#7418218) |

Date: January 14th, 2007 5:59 PM Author: Bearded lascivious turdskin striped hyena Listen to a song like "Thunder Road" and then tell me you are still trying to draw comparisons between Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen?? This is awful Bon Jovi trolling that attempts to be subtle. Too bad it's horribly overdone. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=563709&forum_id=2#7418280) |
