This difference between, say, Leonard Cohen, John Lennon or Neil Young and a fucking Brill Building hack like Springsteen is that I was never convinced anything he said was authentic. That's the only criteria I have for good music. Prepare an honest emotion, whatever it may be, set it to music and convince me of it.War Wagon wrote:No shit.BSmack wrote:

Why don’t you just STFU.
So your only exposure to Springsteen is his most commercially successful album, Born in the USA? Noted. That explains a lot of your opinions about Springsteen. Go listen to "Greetings from Asbury Park" or "The Wild, the Innocent, the E Stree Shuffle" and get back to me. If you can listen to "Rosilita", "Lost in the Flood", "Does this Bus Stop at 82nd Street?" and not feel the honest emotion, then you are just blinded by your hatred for Springsteen. Better yet, listen to "Thunder Road" or "The River", especially the latter. There are some real songs on "USA", but he tried to cater to the bubble gum crowd with some as well.Martyred wrote:This difference between, say, Leonard Cohen, John Lennon or Neil Young and a fucking Brill Building hack like Springsteen is that I was never convinced anything he said was authentic.

If you want overly sentimental schlock...okay...Springsteen is the man...

Then you wonder why you got an F and everyone laughed at you.

I think you might have missed Martyred's point, Springsteen was indirectly promoting the very thing he claimed to be against - that was the real end result of his little 'protest' song.Killian wrote:
Now I see it. You hate him because he sings about his characters escaping their depressing surroundings by doing something different or changing their surroundings or even who they are. Kind of like trying to sound smart on a random message board.
That's akin to reading a LTS post and knowing you were going to see the words/phrases "nefarious subterfuge" and "unelected cabal". Or something to that effect.Dinsdale wrote: When I saw that Phibes was the last post in the Springsteen thread, I pretty much had it pegged at around 99.7% that the word "bourgeois" would appear in his post.
