Is it me or there a lot of Springsteen-bashing threads on /mu/

I'm On Fire is still one of the most romantic songs I have ever heard.

No OP, you are the pleb and so is Bruce Springsteen.

>rip off Bob Dylan
>rip off funk rock, oh look I have a New York accent
>rip off heartland rock, oh look I have a Midwestern accent
>rip off hard rock
>rip off an assortment of pop rock styles and also speed up the vocals to sound more like a teenager
>rip off folk and country and the band Suicide while bemoaning the hard times endured by Midwestern folk just like me as I'm staring at the millions of dollars in my Swiss bank account
>rip off Tom Petty and synth pop, oh look I have a Southern accent
>rip off a bunch of adult contemporary soft rock and synth pop tunes
>repeat on next album, oh look I have a California accent
>mix and match all of these for the rest of my career
>oh look I have an Irish accent on this one song
>make an album about 9/11 so I can be relevant again

That album's great, eat a dick

Springsteen wasn't that good, he just happened to be in the right place at the right time to capitalize on baby boomers who'd grown out of edgy teen buttrock and wanted something more superficially adult.

I don't even know what you mean by this. He wrote many songs that were covered and made hits by other artists and term butt rock didn't even exist in the 70's when he was on the carts with the Born to Run and his other early albums

> shitty irrelevant music
> redneck fanbase
> classic rock

wouldn't give a single listen to any of his albums

now btfo pleb

Someone gave me a "complete" version of Darkness on the Edge of Town a few years ago with something like 55 songs on it (tracks that ended up on The River; outtakes, etc.) and I had to concede that it was pretty great.

There was some filler, but for the sheer number of songs, the quality was incredibly consistent.

The thing is, if it's so easy to "rip off" other people and styles, why have so few people done it as well as Bruce?

Bruce has his own style. He didn't need to rip off anyone

Bruce Springsteen is patrician AF.

Dancing in the Dark and Streets of Philadelphia are undeniably great and real nostalgic
