Bruce Springsteen is overrated

[Downunder]

There I said it.

Also apart from the odd flash of brilliance he is utter shyte.







I didn't want to gay up my other thread with dribble about The Boss

[Avenger]

One of these days Downunder, one of these days...

[Avenger]

I will say that to say he's overrated is crazy as I don't believe he is rated much these days. People are very critical and very vocal of their criticism of him.

Not like Radiohead who are apparently untouchable.

[Downunder]

You love me really.


But honestly, to each his own, but I just don't fucking get it.

[Avenger]

Yeah well...

Foo Fighters suck and I hope they die :shifty:

[Downunder]

Oh Radiohead are terrible.

But Springsteens bad albums far outweigh his good - now I may be wrong and I will stand corrected, if proved wrong.

SO, give me the names of two albums as good as Born in the USA, I shall download and listen and return with my verdict.

[Avenger]

Yessir,

I will turn your attention to "Born to Run" and "The Wild the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle"

In particular listen to the songs

Born to Run
Thunder Road
Jungleland

Kitty's Back
4th of July Asbury Park (Sandy)

I would only say 2 of his albums were bad, Human Touch and Lucky Town. They sucked.

Born in the USA would have been better if it wasn't for those damn synthesisers. It is nowhere near his top two albums.

[Downunder]

I've got Born to Run - I have to agree with you there. i'll get onto the other ones.
