Springsteen is like climate science, it really doesn't matter what you think. It is what it is. Undeniably, Springsteen and the E Street band are one of the greatest recording and performing artist the world has or will ever see!
I'm just say'n ✌️
You guys make me laugh 😎. Your obvious dislike for "The BOSS" is laughable. A singer song writer along with his tight fantastic E Street band who have been at the top of album/song charts, sales and touring for over 40yrs with no signs of slowing down. A band who arguably have written and preformed some of the greatest albums recorded in rock and roll history. A singer who was on the cover of time and newsweek at the same time when they mattered. A man who has been honored countless times for his achievements. As I sit here and listen to "Born in the USA"(which is an amazing perfect album despite a remark made earlier on this forum) and think back to the several times I saw Bruce and how that music still rings true today. How hearing a Bruce song makes you smile or dance or brings back memories. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Bands place in music history is permently in place despite some of your cryptic crititiques of his accomplishments. You sound like a pack of few trying their best to belittle a master of lyrics, music and performance. He has stayed relivent with The Rising, Magic, etc.You don't have to love everything a performer does to see their greatness. I am sure we have not heard the last of Bruce. Other bands stay with their early successes, Springsteen keeps pushing the limits.

I listen to "Born in the USA" last night. As you may know "Glory Days" is on it. You think your are listen to a greatest hits album. Could listen to the album over and over. "Glory days well they'll pass you by". Guess they already did some of you.

Here's the thing. You are knocking Springsteen for you own personal reasons. You have a right not to like Springsteen and/or his music. But you can't change what is fact. Not because I say so. Because the numbers say so. You belittle his achievements and use other bands that have not come close to achieving what he has. Quite frankly your arguments are BS! I am not a fan of classical music but I would not knock Bach and belittle his achievements just because I find it boring. History and facts(numbers) would prove that I would be wrong. Facts are facts. Springsteen's impact on the music industry is indisputable. And your BS does not change that. The earth is round, the sun is the center of our universe, president Obama is a natural born American citizen, climate change is real and Bruce Springsteen is the leader of Rock and Roll!
On another note I drove 6 hours listening to Springsteen straight through. Most enjoyable. I have you guys to thank for it. After a dry spell you got me to revisit the Boss!
