Topic came up on Dan Patrick this morning, and I thought I'd offer it up to the music board.

Bruce Springsteen. I will never understand why so many people love him. It’s baffling to me.

Metallica. It just all sounds so generic to me.

Had this exact convo with a buddy last weekend. My stance is that solo guys of similar age, John Mellencamp and Billy Joel are much more appealing.

I don’t get Springsteen but I think with Springsteen the “greatness” comes from the legendary live performances. If you’ve never seen him live, or didn’t see him live late 70’s-mid 80’s you probably don’t get it.

While I do like a couple of their songs I could never really get into the Doors. Not sure why, they just didn't resonate with me for some reason

this goes for a lot of bands most especially the band named most often in this thread. And it’s true.

I never could get into phish until I saw them live last month and now I can’t get enough
