I’m probably going to get massively flamed for this, but I have always liked Bruce. “Growin Up”, “Thunder Road” “Badlands” and “Rosalita” are some of my favorite songs. Too bad he is such a liberal douchrocket..
Completely agree. I even like some of the slow ballads like ‘racing in the street.’ Completely captures a certain vibe.
I think probably Springsteen suffers from his fans and the critics that heralded him more so than his actual music, at least his first six albums or so.
As far as his vocals go, I reckon I am inured to that criticism from so many folks not digging Dylan for the supposed same reason.
