>now let me rip off funk rock, oh and i have a new york accent now
>now let me rip off heartland rock, oh i have a midwestern accent now
>now let me rip off hard rock, oh i have a mid atlantic accent now

>mix and match all of the above for the rest of his career
>oh i have an irish accent on this song for some reason
>let me write an album about 9/11 so i be relevant again and make $$$$$

Because Bruce is actually a good songwriter

This

You could do this with any artist
>hurr let me rip off Dylan
>now let me rip off Marc Bolan
>now let me rip off funk rock and r&b
>now let me rip off Krautrock
>now let me rip off disco and 80s pop music in general
>now let me rip off industrial and various electronic styles
>now let me rip off my own career
>now let me rip off Krautrock again before I die

do u hate america

>he is making music of a genre so he is ripping off 'the genre'!!

Impeccable logic

Round 2
>hurr let me rip off the same Black Flag song for 4 albums
>now let me rip off Death in June and various post-punk bands
>now let me rip off the entire NWW list
>now let me rip off Krautrock and post-punk again

I would love to hear more bands rip-off the hidden gems on the NWW list

Name someone else who had an 8 great album streak

Bowie was pretty close to beating it.

seems like pretty reasonable scoring for the cucks at p4k

Neil Young. Easy

King Crimson

If you think liking Springsteen makes you a contrarian then you need to get off Sup Forums

it's you who needs to get off Sup Forums for a while
