My favorite musical artists: Rush, Devo, The Decemberists, Parliament/Funkadelic,Stevie Wonder, Bruce. None of them (except for p-funk and stevie) have anything in common. What can I say? Your favorite acts don't have to have anything in common. My favorites are Rush, Yes, My Chemical Romance, Green Day, U2, Radiohead, blink-182, Fall Out Boy, Muse, and Morrissey. Oh... I'm not a huge Decemberists fan (yet) but I love The Hazards of Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanadoo Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Bruce is great. I don't know why he takes so much heat U2 also. I've taken crap on here for liking them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it! IT sounds a lot like New Traditionalists, but with more updated songs. I got the digital download version because it has songs that were left off the CD, like Watch Us Work It, which I personally think is the best cut on the album. Devo has really found themselves again. Incredible synth sounds, funny lyrics, and quirky yet catchy lyrics. It's the perfect Devo package. Now if only they were going to play a show in New York City... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I can appreciate Springsteen as a songwriter and the free spirit, Americana, 1970s, New Jerseyite thing he immortalized, but I'm not really a fan. I went to see him in concert a couple years ago, but only to say "I've seen him." I probably wouldn't have even done that much if someone hadn't approached me with an extra ticket.

ChroniclesOfRush Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Bruce Springsteen is pretty much the soundtrack for middle-aged-mouth-breathers everywhere. I am a music lover of all types and sizes but that guy just sucks to no end. Gotta give it up to him for lasting this long and still being able to do his thing at his age....but he thing still sucks bad. Q: You know what you get when you mix "folk" rock and New Jersey? A: Aides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driventotheedge Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Bruce is OK. To my tastes, Bob Seger is a lot better for that type of music. . . . Get well Clarence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ioc Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Yes, but not for the same reasons. It's like: Do I like blue? Yes. Do I hate red because it's not blue? No. I like red too. I mean, if you don't like red, that's fine. But I like them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I've always considered Springsteen and John Mellencamp to be two of a kind. They both represent the blue collar workers. Springsteen makes me think of construction crews whereas Mellencamp makes me think of farmers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdFireYYZ Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 My father loves his stuff, but I don't care for him, except for a few songs. He's good, but not my kind of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Room Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I'm a fan of the Boss. And I'm a fan of Rush. Put against eachother i would choose Rush ofc since I'm a progrock kinda rocker, but I dont think in those terms normaly since I listen to what i feel like for the moment. Boss and Rush comes from different schools, where Rush is influenced by bluesrockers and psychadelic acts, Springsteen is more of a traditional singer/songwriter-type a' folk/rock etc. I like how alot of Springsteen's songs becomes anthems almost without trying. Aspiring to capture the feeling of the storytelling which his lyrics are. In my opinion Bruce Springsteen easily can hold his own among the great songwriters. I also like how he is keeping it real, no sell out shit - he does what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pags Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I don't hate Bruce but I don't love everything he's ever done either. His earlier stuff through the mid 80's has some stellar stuff, though. Rosalita is a killer song. And as I've discovered just this past Winter - listening to Born To Run (the album) from start to finish is astounding.
