(12,132 posts)I maybe like 2 Springsteen songs.* I have nothing against him - I suspect he's a great guy. Just never liked his songs.
*And I really only like them because my uncle loved Springsteen and I can't find it in me to 100% reject someone my uncle loved. My uncle was the coolest guy ever.

(24,853 posts)I listen to Bob Dylan more; he has more songs, sung by more people, and was making music during my formative years.
I appreciate Springsteen, too.

Springsteen is a great performer, though.
