You never mention that he put out the song with the best melody of all time in that breakthrough album Born to Run, just a little tune called Jungleland
"You never mention that he put out the song with the best melody of all time in that breakthrough album Born to Run, just a little tune called Jungleland."
I could go on (and on and on) but you (should) get the point so I will leave (before you toss me as you did str8nuyk)
"I will put Jungleland up against Bach, Beethoven or anyone."
He also blew what little cred he may have had by getting involved in policitcs in the 2004 election. What kind of a shallow moron would vote for someone because Springsteen had endorsed them?
If you have not seen him live, in the 70's, then you are not fully qualified to critique..
In 1984 Springsteen would reach megastardom with the album Born In The USA. This album can best be described as an eyesore for the ears, with such horrible songs as the title track, "Dancing In The Dark" (the MTV video features a young Courtney Cox), "Glory Days", and "My Hometown". The album contained seven hit singles in all and sold over ten million copies. Springsteen had officially "arrived", and I began banging my head against the wall hoping the music would go away.
Other fans may disagree, but I felt he could've done a MUCH better job than this.
bring on the Motorhead!
BS sings like he has to take dump and can't!!! Just don't like his music that much.....bring on the Motorhead!
I have no problem listening to artists whose music takes getting used to, I just don't care for Springsteen's voice, his melodramatic writing, his overly arranged E street band, or the fact the guy takes himself too seriously (I put U2 in the same category).
I hate to resurrected this thread, but Bruce Springsteen's new album "Working On a Dream" just came out. I'm glad I didn't buy it. I listened to the songs on YouTube and they are horrible. The lyrics and music are so corny. As a fan of this guy, I think this album sucks! Other fans may disagree, but I felt he could've done a MUCH better job than this. Just listen to songs like: Outlaw Pete and Queen of the Supermarket. They sound ridiculous.
