I can see the kids sitting there all wide eyed and scared I never saw the Dylan thing too. I'll admit hes an allright songwriter, but I hate his voice. I have a friend that loves Bruce Springsteen and Dylan. I told him, must be a East Coast thing. Because I don't know many West Coasters that like him. Different strokes for sure.

estreet Joined: Mar 17, 2007 Posts: 839 United Kingdom	Posted on May 05 2007 10:49 AM Bruce was my hero in the past - hence this nickname I've used for the past 15 years. At his best I still think he's a great songwriter - at his worst he drifts into being a parody of himself. I lost touch after 'Born in The USA' which itself has not worn too well due to the awful 80's-ness of the production. Now he's getting back to roots - but I must admit that 'Froggy Goes A Courtin' on the last album was a bridge too far for me..... — http://www.myspace.com/thepashuns Youth and enthusiasm are no match for age and treachery.

Jon Joined: Mar 15, 2006 Posts: 1076 Columbus, OH	Posted on May 05 2007 02:27 PM I've never been a Springsteen fan, but Dylan has written some downright perfect songs in my opinion. He's truly a great musician. Top
mom_surfing Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 5298 the outer banks of north carolina	Posted on May 05 2007 03:03 PM an independent record store owner turned me on to springsteen when the first album was released. i just remember the energy it had in comparison to a lot of what was getting airplay at the time. (somewhere around 1972 or 3 i think) i drifted away after 'born to run' also. because of the e street band i got turned on to south side johnny and the asbury jukes, a band that to this day i've never seen live but would love to see. my $.01 — www.surfintheeye.com Top
JakeDobner Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 12159 Seattle	Posted on May 05 2007 04:00 PM Dylan is beyond amazing. Desire and Blood on the Tracks are two of the finest albums ever. Dylan's storytelling is unmatched by anyone, be it Tom Waits, Neil Young, or Lou Reed. Top

CaptainSpringfield Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 4387 Under the Sun	Posted on May 05 2007 07:25 PM I can tolerate Springsteen's fake-Dylan albums, like "Nebraska," and I don't dislike "Darkness on the Edge of Town." Pretty much everything else of his makes me suffer rage blackouts, though. -Warren — That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. Top
IronMaiden Joined: Nov 02, 2006 Posts: 564 Virginia Beach	Posted on May 05 2007 08:26 PM What? 'THE BOSS' is freaking awesome! Listen to his version of 'Pink Caddlilac' his tele sounds great, and that version DRIVES...Im not a huge Dylan fan, I always figured he was over my head, You hear people like Jimi Hendrix, or The Beatles talk about him like hes a god. Maybe cuz hes poetic I dont like him, I cant stand poetry, its all kind of silly and goofy to me. (except maybe Walt Witman, or Poe) I dunno, you just cant beat THE BOSS and the Jersey Shore.

I like some Dylan, probably dislike more. I don't really like Springsteen. But I can really see why people appreciate both so much. I can also see why kids might think of Dylan as just a weird old guy. Top

I saw Southside Johnny here in the UK last year. A lot of his songs are either very Springteen clonish or his earlier stuff very Stax soul.. so I can't say I'd rush out to buy the albums ....but.... as a live band they were great and he's a very engaging frontman. I'd certainly go to see him again. Dusty Watson is playing here up the road from me next week with Agent Orange - hoping to go to that. — http://www.myspace.com/thepashuns Youth and enthusiasm are no match for age and treachery. Top
