Bob Seger vs. Bruce Springsteen

I've tried, but even the hits don't hit me. I can't even remember how Born to Run goes, and I must've heard it a hundred times.

WTF

Let's rank Seeg's top forty singles.

yeah idk I find his whole blue-collar-manly-man-playing-REAL-rock-n-roll-with-the-gang schtick just totally unappealing. almost offended by the reactionary conservatism of the aesthetic tbh, there's just no way into that for me.

I got a really nice copy of Nebraska today, great album. Love love love “highway patrolman”

One thing I will say for Bob Seger, he's surprisingly good at/interested in writing from a female perspective. My favorite is "The Fire Inside," where "you" go out to a club, pick up a guy, bring him home, and then lie awake waiting for him to leave so you can lock the door behind him. That detail of the door impresses me every time.

That said, though, Bruce all the way. I like Seger just fine, but Springsteen is just on another level as a writer and artist.

Nebraska was the album that converted me from casual fandom to full-on Bruce insanity.

I love them both and will never choose between them

It seems that there should be some type of late 70s LA crime love triangle movie that uses "Hollywood Nights" as the big theme tune.
