  1. 1. Tom Petty or Bruce Springsteen?



Recommended Posts

Petty.

 

I have never liked Springsteen all to much. I find his voice raspy and annoying.

Agreed.

Sounds like he's taking a dump.

 

ETA: I like his later stuff when he reined in that singing style.

He has a few older songs that are cool. Long, bombastic songs like Born To Run and Rosalita. Then he got into doing Rolling Stone Magazine-friendly "important" music.

Petty never underwhelmed my expectations. He always seems to deliver the goods. Springsteen always seems to be elevated to god-like status by critics and a good chunk of his fan base. And every artist that has been in similar circumstances has dropped the ball. Springsteen is no exception.

I love much of Springsteen's output, but I am a bigger fan of Petty's.

 

This seems unfair to the boss, though. The landside surprises me.

Tom Petty has nice catalog and has been very sincere and reliable, but his work never moved me beyond appreciation ..

 

I prefer Bruce's ability to really tug the emotions and paint the pictures ... Granted, Bruce has had some missteps, but isn't that what being an artist is all about ?? You stick your neck out, and in the attempt create, it might not always be as successful ..

 

Born To Run, No Surrender, New York City Serenade, Drive All Night, Candy's Room - these are epics, and I like the highs Bruce was able to hit as far as emotion and being inspirational ..

 

For me, Bruce is definitely more exhilarating and created more magic

To put it simply, Petty's music and grooves(for lack of a better word) pick me up and make me feel happy...
