Great song, but it reminds me of suicide too mich

>>71997490
His debut is kinda similar but that one is pretty unique in his catalog

>>71997447
Tom Waits is ultimate pleb, wants to be a good songwriter but cant so he has to hide it with his willy wonka and cawfee n cigarettes hack shit. rockn a fedodo in the 80's was just as autistic as it is now.

>>71997534
This is why I like Mule Variations, it feels the most divorced from that to me

>>71997534
>cawfee n cigarettes hack shit. rockn a fedodo
Springteen fans everyone, this is how they write

Springsteen = GOAT

>>71997583
wrong

>>71997534
Coffee and Cigarettes was good. Jarmusch is pretty consistent

>>71997583
This isn't youtube buddy. Are you fucking 60? it was clearly supposed to be for half hearted comedic effect, maybe I should have gone put it in quotations and added a "muh" so you understand this clearly very complex argument that Tom Waits is a grown man playing dress ups and pretending it's the 40's for a living.

>>71997609
Yeah, I agree he was always surprises me, I always expect kitsch for some reason but he's great and just keeps getting better. Patterson was fucking great.

springsteen sucks

>>71997647
>it was clearly supposed to be for half hearted comedic effect
Woah watch out Louis CK, we got a contender

What do you guys think we'll see from Bruce in the next year or two? We've been in nostalgia mode for quite a while now? Bruce first divulged the idea of a River box set in the pipeline in late 2013 and we're only just finishing that era now.

According to the wikileaks emails from 2015 though, Bruce is signed to Columbia until June, 2027 and was contracted for:

>[already done] 1 anniversary box set, with 3 CDs, for the The River album

>4 new studio albums (delivered at least 12 months apart)

>1 anniversary box set, with 3 CDs, for the Born in the USA album

>1 anniversary box set, with 2 CDs, for the Nebraska album

>1 box set with 3 or 4 discs with unreleased songs (the second volume of "Tracks" compilation)

>5 complete live-concert albums
(the box sets and live albums will be released at least 6 months apart)

>>71998180
Live albums hopefully come soon, that man is a tour de force live

>>71998180
I'm down for the Born in the U.S.A re-release, but christ...

>>71998206
>but christ...
What exactly?

>>71998229
Just seems like a lot, guy's a workhorse I suppose

Today for the first time in my life I listened to Bruce Springsteen of my own volition. Growing up I heard his hit songs on the radio enough to be familiar with them, but I always found them a little annoying, the kind of songs that would cause me to immediately change the dial if it was under my control. Here's a case where I'm forcing myself to listen to music I don't like for educational/research purposes. Springsteen is a very famous and influential musician, and after slogging through his discography today on my mp3 player, I learned that he is the very archetype of a style of music I strongly dislike. I'm generally a big fan of all sorts of 70s rock/soul/pop music, so I expected to at least somewhat enjoy some of his work, but it was a lot worse than I expected.

This album is similar to lots of other mainstream music from its day, a mishmash of various strands of rock, blues, soul, etc. It definitely scores very low on the originality/creativity side of things. I recently had my first go with a Billy Joel album, Piano Man, and there's a lot of common ground between these artists in this period. The Billy Joel was rather good overall and far superior to this Springsteen, but they both represent a kind of dumbed down mass culture banality that I find bothersome at best. The only passable bits on this album are the mellow jammy horn rock stuff, but by 1973 there were hundreds of artists who'd done stuff much better in related veins, whether Chicago, Manfred Mann, Sopwith Camel or Mark-Almond. I mean, this album is incredibly conservative, wimpy, low-brow radio fodder, especially compared to the all the insanely creative rock music that was going down at the same time.

>>71998180
How accurate is this though? The River box set ended up being 4 CDs and 3 DVDs plus a book and various essays and memorabilia.

>>71995199
probably
>>71997490
his debut is probably as good, it's sorta similar.

>>71996478
1. 4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy) [is one of my all-time favorite songs. period]
2. Adam Raised a Cain
3. Mary Queen of Arkansas
4. The Angel
5. Incident on 57th Street
[into]
6. Rosalita (Come Out Tonight) [is one of Bruce's best song pairings]
7. E Street Shuffle
8. Lost in the Flood
9. Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out
10. The River

[note: Nebraska is amazing albums and up there, but these are the songs that get me every time i hear them, so don't give me shit for not including it.]

>>71998273
because i'm sure it took you longer to write than it would take to listen to his first 5 albums, here's your (you). also:
>clearly talking about a specific album
>doesn't give the album name

>>71998180
Shit. He's gonna be 78 when that contract expires. You think he'll be done for good at that point?

i don't want this thread to die, so... uh.

At what point did you realize Bruce was actually a good songwriter and not a boring classic rock artist?

First time I listened to Blinded By the Light on a whim cause the Manfred Mann version was on the radio. Got hooked and listened to all of Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.

Can you name another Jewish Rock band?

What the fuck, I'd never really listened to him before, but this thread convinced me to listen to Born To Run and its fucking amazing, what the fuck dudes. Why did no one tell me.

Where do I go after this?

>>71999895
Darkness on the Edge of Town, more or less the direct sequel

>>71999948
This. It's definitely a bit harder edged and darker.
