That would be an error on your part... if anything, way underrated by the younger generation (but I get why), but history has them where they belong...


I'm not a spring (pardon the pun) chicken, and I do like "The Boss". I just feel (much like U2) perhaps even a great band - I'm not denying that - but some of the praise and kudos get overblown. I still go back to my favorite Springsteen song is Blinded By the Light...but the Mannfred Mann version. I think that says it all, right there.

I always thought Bob Seger, in particular, pulled off that brand of Rock and Roll better, and to significantly less acclaim.

Fair play... I'll admit that I grew up absolutely hating him.. since I was pretty close minded and was into punk rock and more college bands...

But I remember a friend I met in college (89-90 or so) was a huge fan and had all his records... Thats where I really came across his older output and fell in love with it... especially, this era... And then seeing him live just cemented it... nothing better and I am definitely more inclined to see shows in 100 capacity dumps...
