Cool! You wanna go to a concert together.

OK, apparently I did not mention how much I like Springsteen but I will now. A very little bit. Born to Run was a great album, after that I only liked a few of his songs. So, no concert for me.

I actively dislike Springsteen. Song mostly about the same thing - urban teenage angst, horrible singing voice.

BrilliantDisguise · 10-11-2011, 01:16 PM

Wow...tough crowd here I'm starting to notice.

His early stuff had an undeniable vibe and was lyrically evocative, leading to my current user title.

"The Rising" contains about four notes, and I am against that sort of thing.

In my opinion, then you haven't listened very closely.

While I too definitely like his older albums better, there were many other albums released between the early stuff and The Rising. However, I do think The Rising was still a good album.

Not liking Springsteen is not really what I meant about 'tough crowd'. To each their own is what I say regarding that matter.

It takes a tough crowd to make a tender forum.

Why the quotes? And what kind of music do you like?

That's debatable.

footfootfoot · 10-11-2011, 01:43 PM

The quotes because it is a quote of some local radio station, I forgot to add an attribution.

The second is a joke based on Purdue's slogan from the 70s or 80s

I don't know any of the newer Springsteen stuff, so I can't comment on it, but the old stuff is pretty good. Fun stuff. You have to sing along to things like Rosalita.

Pank Cadillac, too

yes, pank, not pink.

I think with any artist that has sustained the test of time for 35 or so years, will always have their best work from the earlier years.

Make no mistake, this is not a tender forum, but it is an honest one.

Pink Cadillac is a great song, as well as so many others.
