re: What Is This Board's Opinion of Springsteen?

Darkness on the Edge of Town and Nebraska are all-time great albums. I even appreciate Tunnel of Love for what it was.

Too much of his older music, while wonderfully composed, was too long, too synonymous and bored me. I feel the same toward most of Dylan's music as well.

On the whole, I'd put Springsteen and Billy Joel as my top 2 all-time American pop songwriters of the last 50 years. Not necessarily in that order.
