He was great when he was struggling, then he got rich and decadent.
Greatness from GFAP through Nebraska. There is backlash against Born in the USA because it was such a massive cultural phenomenon in the 80s and you couldn't get away from it, but it has a lot of great stuff...and you also can't sleep on Tunnel of Love. But its a steady downward decline from there, with The Rising (and live performances) being an exception.
Springsteen hot take: He is not really as big of a leftist zealot as he portrays, but he intentionally does it to try to remain relevant with the music press/critics, to fit in the artist community, and to soften the backlash/jealousy over the massive wealth he has accumulated (and continues to generate).
Springsteen lukewarm take: The Music Board's hatred of the guy is driven by perceived political views rather than music.

Have to agree with every bit of this.

Creem Magazine’s take on Springsteen: He sings like a bellowing moose stuck in the mud.
