His only good song is Santa Clause is Coming to Town.

Never like the guy, and detested him even more after this saga.

It’s a great song. The music plays one thing, he sings something else.

This faker sells out stadiums in Europe. They love him in Scandinavia. How crazy is this?

He always sounds constipated when he sings.

Darkness on the Edge of Town is a far superior album and everything he did after those two albums is just trash.

The music that spoke to a nation without saying anything of importance.

Louis P. Masur sounds like a woman with all the references to himself. Pathetic.

He even threw a test pressing into a pool.

Yeah, well, Keith Moon drove an entire car into a pool. So there!

The first time I ever heard of Springstine was when I saw him on the cover of Time magazine.

"Santa Clause is Coming to Town" is one of his all-time worst. I actually remember where I was when I first heard it it was that remarkably awful.

As much as I dislike his political leanings, he wrote some great song with great imagery. He knows how to tell a story with few words.

I knew some DJs at a big FM station in SoCal. I was in the studio one day and a DJ played a promo disc of Springsteen (who indeed had plenty of record company hype behind him) for me. Asked for my opinion I replied: “It sucks, this marble mouth ain’t going anywhere”.

I was wrong of course. But I stand by my opinion. Springsteen and his music suck.

Go to YouTube and search Aaron Lewis on Tucker Carlson for his view on Bruce Springsteen it’s amazing. He Destroys old Bruce.

“Born to Run” arrived when he was packaged as the ‘new’ Bob Dylan/James Dean. That had short shelf life, so he became the jean wearin’/bandana in the back pocket/rolled up sleeve American boy. Same shit, different package.

Bruce is as American as Levi’s jeans.

You know. Levi’s the company is as anti-American as they come. Gun grabbers extraordinaire.

I hope no one on FR still buys Levi’s products. They went all in on gun-grabbing long before woke infected the US.

From day one I thought his songs were incoherent crap and then he went far left. What an overrated drug addled dope.

Although “To Cry You A Song” was by Jethro Tull, the song’s title seems to describe Springsteen’s style of vocals. “Tenth Avenue Freezeout” was okay, I guess. It’s the only one by BS that I don’t change the station on.

"visibly swaying back and forth"

Just like Gavin Newsom after his incompetence burns down a major city.

And Loose Bruce, playing the role of a downtrodden middle-class American, relaxes on his 400 acre tax shelter "farm" in the People's Democratic Republic of New Jersey.

His music sucks, it has always sucked, and it will always suck.

His music is so awful, and the words that go with are pathetic.

Rebellion against oneself for being stupid and frustrated to the point of exclusion from normal adult life.

When this garbage came out it totally resonated with truckloads of aimless, clueless libs-to-be.

Have had to listen to this garbage for 50 years, along with other cretins like Mellenkamp, Petty, Phil Collins, Bob Seeger and other audio stool.

These songs they have written are roughly as old as "In My Merry Oldsmobile" from Tin Pan Alley, but they just won't DIE.

A sign of the endless river of new pathetic young listeners frustrated with themselves being unable to achieve adulthood.

I still say he and his F Street Band can’t hold a candle to Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits. “The Sultans of Swing”.
