yyzjam Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 The stuff that didn't make Springsteen's albums would be enough to lone to Petty and improve his entire catalog, the Boss by a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Compared to Springsteen, I don't think Pretty has a single "bad" album 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushFanForever Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Bruce Springsteen and Tom Cochrane were on a bill together (along with The Trews) in late August 2012 according to here here and here. Cochrane and The Trews got up onstage and joined Springsteen and the E-Street Band for an encore of . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I think Petty is very consistent. His lows are not as low as Springsteens. But he has done nothing that inspires me to feel, to think and to dream as much Springsteen. Nothing Petty has ever done comes close to the first five Springsteen albums. Everything Petty has done that i have heard has been phenomenal. But compared to Springsteen, they are tame. Springsteen is just off the charts amazing. Petty is close. I vote Springsteen but Petty is wonderful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Tom Petty, his guitar player, and 73's famous peanut butter cookie recipe saved my sanity the past few months. I owe Mike Campbell a huge "thank you." http://youtu.be/mOwBuP-or50 Thanks for bringing this thread back up. I lost this video on my desktop and you saved me the trouble of having to find it on youtube again. I love my Tom Petty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) I still go with Petty. but i still do give much respect to Bruce for the run from Greetings to Tunnel of love. But Petty mastered the art of the perfect pop/rock song so easily. Bruce could get caught up in his own mythos. and that's always been his weakness.

Lorraine Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) I think Bruce's wife ruined him. Just my opinion. He changed a lot after he married her. Edited July 27, 2017 by Lorraine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His music has always been humble. Until politics took over but that comes with riches, i am sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seemed to mark a shift in his music. He became...dare I say it...more pedestrian? i can agree. i love the Human Touch/Lucky Town combo. but after he sort settled into like a comfortable groove that didn't really shift again until Magic. but then it was right back to good music. Just good. that's the thing. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just good. that's the thing. Mick The Rising and Magic are for me sensational albums. But they are sort of lost in a sea of middling to fairly good releases. Lucky Town and Human Touch I love. Tom Joad I love. The Rising I love. Magic is a top five album. Then............ The rest is easily forgotten. High Hopes might be his worst ever official release. And the rest I haven't mentioned...none are worth mentioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) Tom Petty has a beautiful smile too. :) And I just love that Mike Campbell. He's some guitar player. :) Edited July 28, 2017 by Lorraine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Girl Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Tom Petty by far what with those quirky songs, and that distinct voice. Whereas Bruce Springsteen just sounds like he's coughing up something. King of the throat polyps is that one. Didn't anyone ever teach him how to sing from the diaphragm? He looks like he's going to blow a gasket! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a gold standard of album-craft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like he's going to blow a gasket!A distant cousin of mine had voice training. She was many years older than me. When I was ten years old, that's the first thing she told me. "You sing from the diaphragm" she said, placing her hand there to show me where she meant. I never forgot that bit of advice. :) Not that it helped me. Can you tell by how someone is singing that they aren't singing from there? Edited July 29, 2017 by Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 This is the Bruce I miss: Someone needs to remind him where he's from - Freehold, New Jersey - stinky Route 9 and dirty Asbury Park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
