Is Thunder Road the greatest opening track of all time?

I go on /mu/ to escape the incessant dicksucking of hacks like Springsteen, not discuss it further. Take a hike.

>>73787847
I bet you listen to indie folk or some degenerate shit like that

>>73787818
Yes and the closing track is one of the best.

Imo the best closing track is Unwound - Who cares

But it was more than just a closing song as it was their last album.

>>73788391
The greatest closing track of all time is Peter Gabriel- Biko

>>73787818

>SO ROLL DOWN YOUR WINDOWS AND LET THE WIND BLOW BACK YOUR HAIR

Yes OP, finally some respect for The Boss on /mu/

I tried listening to this album because I thought it would be some kind of great spiritual experience or something and all I heard was 40 minutes of some guy mumbling incomprehensible words behind a generic R&B/jazz sound.

Remind me never to trust anything Christgau said again.

It's not a bad album, but Bruce needed a few more riffs and maybe used the word "Satan" here or there.

>>73787818
Garth Brooks made the better Thunder Road

And you thought Eddie Vedder sounded like he had 5 pounds of impacted feces he couldn't push out.

>R&B/jazz
>taking Christgau seriously
I would respect your opinion more if you knew anything about music

Cherub Rock is.

>>73790401
Yeah you're right. I should have figured that much when he gave 7 of the first 8 Springsteen albums As while relegating Iron Maiden to his Meltdown list along with 80s one-hit wonders.

It's funny because Springsteen does almost everything Christgau claims to dislike on an album such as excessively long tracks, extended instrumentals, and melodrama/bombast.

Yeah I don't get how Springsteen was so "revolutionary" in 1975 because BTR really pretty much stays entirely within the realm of 70s AOR conventions.

Springsteen's music is basically an attempt to reconnect early 60s rhythm & blues and early 60s rock & roll in a rootsy, bar band kind of way - while trying to inject early 60s folk and early 60s union/socialist rhetoric into the mix.
His goal seems to be "authenticity" - which he tries to achieve through careful artifice.

His first album was released around the same time as American Graffiti - a time of maudlin nostalgia. George Lucas and Bruce Springsteen were both baby boomers pining for their high school years and trying to blame Vietnam for the fact that they were no longer carefree 15 year olds.

Can you hum any of Springsteen's songs after you've heard them? Thought not. If you can't do that, it ain't music.

BTR and DITD are his only decent songs ever, I hate BITUSA. Springsteen was never all that great, he was hyped up by the media because of his politics.

BOOOOOOOOOORN IN THE USAAAAAA

In the early to mid 1970s there was a frantic attempt in the music press to find the next Bob Dylan. The old saying is true--if Springsteen didn’t exist, critics would have had to invent him. The fact is that he had a very limited emotional and songwriting range.

At least Rage Against The Machine had some cool guitars to make up for their laughable politics. Springsteen doesn't even have that.
