Springsteen sucks. With his growly voice and bullshit songs about the working man. gently caress that noise. Led Zeppelin, now that's a band. Any band that can crowbar Gollum and Mordor into a song and still have it rock the gently caress out...that's what I'm talking about.

Cigar Aficionado posted:Live at Hammersmith Odeon 1975 is literally the best rock concert ever filmed. YouTube it. thats the show i was trying to remember that was likely the tipping point in me truly coming around to springsteen as an artist rather than just a couple of his songs...'lost in the flood' specifically. awesome

Springsteen just flat-out blows and I don't think a correlation between them is fair. (3)

Kind of like how some moron's used James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" as their wedding dance song without listening to the lyrics and only hearing him say "You're beautiful" over and over. And it's not like Springsteen was being obtuse and deceptive (the way that Satan is so adept at). (5)

Learn some loving barre chords already and cut back on the effects. I wrote poo poo as complex as them when I was in 8th grade (now my music is powered by years of study and Satan). (8)

I can't tell you how many younger people (I'm 37) are extolling the virtues of Trout Mask Replica. Funny enough, that was Kurt Cobain's favorite album, and it seems that everyone here hates Kurt Cobain and Nirvana. Lord Satan, we honor thy name. (10)

I can understand why one wouldn't like Springsteen, but he had a great career and stayed relevant for longer than a lot of his contemporaries.

You can tell if someone has ever had to work hard before because chances are they'll like the boss. He sings songs for the everyman worker. He's like a slightly more modern Tennessee Ernie Ford. Oh you don't know who that is, go back to listening to your indies and your biebers

Not everyone really gives a poo poo about indie retard whinebag stuff like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuHSD90kbhg whoaaaa so deeeep brooo, i totally also do completely banal poo poo all the time! Sidenote: tom waits is pretty great, but he's a little less accessible. Some of his stuff is pretty weird after all
