That's a matter of opinion. |
Saying Bruce Springsteen Sucks is sort of like remarking on the dampness of a lake. Like, duh?  He had one song I liked, and I liked it when I was like, 8. That was about it. |
If you have heard one boss song, you have heard them all, they all sound the same. As for AC/DC what can I say ? Crank up Thunderstruck !!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
He is. I don't really identify with that, but I identify with a lot of other themes in his music. |

I can't believe you folks trash Springsteen then claim ac/dc is anything more than a teenage boy fad that most folks grow out of by age 20. I get up in the evening and I ain't got nothing to say I come home in the morning I go to bed feeling the same way I ain't nothing but tired Man I'm just tired and bored with myself Hey there baby, I could use just a little help You can't start a fire You can't start a fire without a spark This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark Message keeps getting clearer radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place I check my look in the mirror I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face Man I ain't getting nowhere I'm just living in a dump like this There's something happening somewhere baby I just know that there is You can't start a fire you can't start a fire without a spark This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark You sit around getting older there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me I'll shake this world off my shoulders come on baby this laugh's on me Stay on the streets of this town and they'll be carving you up alright They say you gotta stay hungry hey baby I'm just about starving tonight I'm dying for some action I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book I need a love reaction come on now baby gimme just one look You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark Even if we're just dancing in the dark Even if we're just dancing in the dark Even if we're just dancing in the dark Hey baby |
If you're gonna promote AC/DC, at least use one of their good songs as an example. Thunderstruck is okay, I suppose, but hardly of artistic or literary note. With a few exceptions, the vast majority of what AC/DC has put out since Back in Black has been mediocre at best. Brian Johnson couldn't hold a candle to Bon Scott, and frankly, has just been getting worse over the years. At this point his shrieking just hurts my ears. Not exactly a Springsteen fan, but this is like comparing apples and oranges. BTW, Springsteen's best song was Born to Run (IMHO). As for his politics, well... as I said, not a huge fan anyway so he's not losing any of my money. Besides, if I went around refusing to so much as listen to music, watch movies/TV, or appreciate anything artistic based soley on the artist's political views, there wouldn't be a whole lot left to choose from. |
Gee, that's profound. Not. |
different stoke for different folks, if someone does like what I like fuckem. No right or wrong in music.

Springsteen is a capable songwriter and guitarist. However, his worldview and political opinions must be taken with a grain of salt due too his isolated existance as an "artist". As a younger person, I enjoyed his music FAR more than I do these days. In fact, I can't recall when I last purposely cued up one of his songs. I do, however, admit that he has "talent". Whatever the hell that is................
