The beatles

...

...

He didnt even write 150 songs in a decade much less good ones

and R. Steevie

He put out over 200 in two years.

Someone give me the lowdown on this guy's career?

Heartland Rock baby

You serious? From New Jersey
Big albums
>Born to Run (his first big album)
>Darkness on the edge of town (good followup)
>The river (double album)
>Born in the USA (includes alotta singles - dancing in the dark, im on fire, Glory Days, etc.)
Thats just 70's to 80's. Springsteen has had a long career

>Not including his best albun

The only songwriting credit that rivals Lennon\McCartney or Springsteen imho

What do you consider his best album? Nebraska? I haven't listened to most of his stuff. I'm a Tom Petty fan, not Springsteen

What part of good did you faggot miss

Yeah nebraska. The other stuff is great too nebraska just does it for me the most

>doesn't reply to the ariel pink one

Says a lot about your 'taste'

>1964 - 1968:
Some rando who was in a bunch of random Jersey Shore bar bands
>1969 - 1972:
In a hard rock group called Steel Mill. Opening for Iron Butterfly, Black Sabbath, Boz Scaggs. Breakup before career takes off.
>1973 - 1982
Bookended by folk/singer-songwriter stuff. Former Steel Mill members join him as E Street Band. Becomes a great live act. First album he's the new Dylan, second the new Van Morrison, third album he becomes a rock legend, fourth album he goes hard rock, fifth he does a double album with wide variety of rock-related styles, sixth is him in his bedroom making lo-fi folk.
Greetings - 8/10
Shuffle - 9/10
Born to Run - 10/10
Darkness - 10/10
River - 9/10
Nebraska - 10/10
>1983 - 1994
Decides to accept his popularity and dive into 80s stadium rock/more poppy territory with his next album. Sells 30 million and scores 6 Top 10 hits.
Worldwide stadium tour. Becomes tabloid figure/celeb, instead of rehashing previous pop album makes very personal record about the breakup of his marriage. Dissolves the E Street band in '88. Does some solo acoustic shows before dropping two stinkers back to back in 1993. Makes up for it by having a big movie soundtrack song in '94.
Born - 9/10
Tunnel - 8/10
Touch - 3/10
Lucky - 4/10

>1995 - 2004
Briefly reunites E Street band for a single. Does a folk sequel to Nebraska. Full E Street reunion + world tour in a decade. Later, first full E Street album in nearly 15 years + another world tour.
Tom Joad - 7/10
Rising - 7/10

>2005 - 2014
Back in the game full-time. Two folk records, one dark and modern, the other traditional. Some okay band records, but diminishing returns. Full on dad rock at this point.
Devils - 6/10
Seeger - 7/10
Magic - 6/10
Dream - 5/10
Wrecking - 6/10
Hopes - 4/10

2015 - present
Full on nostalgia act. No studio albums yet. Just reissue box sets + 30th anniversary show, memoir, intimate Broadway show, lots of archival releases. Possible Nebraska+USA reissues soon.

>Damn the Torpedos
>Hard Promises
>Long After Dark
>Southern Accents
>Let me up (Ive had enough)
>Full Moon Fever
Tom Petty had a great run from 79-89 and continued beyond that. Refugee, The waiting, Rebels, Don't Come around here no more, free falling just to name a few. Not to mention the outtakes from long after dark and southern accents alone. Go fuck yourself with a pichfork faggot.

Some of Nebraska's pretty good. I like Atlantic City

He actually did record 150+ songs from Born to Run through Born in the USA that are out there in some capacity

I'm looking forward to a boxed release of Born in the USA. I want to hear cleaned up versions of Unsatisfied Heart and Sugarland.

...

kyuss + eodm + queens + desert sessions would probably give us 150 or so

He's be so much better if Born in the USA never existed. Even the albums after it are better,

I dunno, even the songs are good, the production ruined the album. He could rerecord it without the synths and it would be as good as The River

try the span of a year

gb2reddit

Buckethead

who are these dweebs?

Would be interesting to hear the album without synthesizers, but still in rock mode.
Dancing in the dark would be very different

that guy looks like trump

Prince was afucking god amongst men when it comes to music, you are really ignorant of his library if you disagree

delet this

I'm sure they have over 150 songs in total

Brooooose

rip modest mouse 1995 - 2007

1966-1976 is probably peak performance but really any slice of his career would work

they only released 54 songs in 2017, retard.

>there are people on Sup Forums right now who will disagree with this post baka

Ray Davies, /ourguy/

...

Yeah there's still about a dozen full songs from the BITUSA sessions that weren't released as B-sides, or on "Tracks" that are sitting in the archive somewhere (provided they haven't lost the master tapes).

sara a cute

Adrian Dárgelos

Lucky Town is one of my mom's favorite Bruce albums and I don't get it. This is someone who listens to his entire discography as well.

...

Yeah, it's pretty weak. I like it slightly more than Human Touch though.

All their stuff sounds the same. Every album is just one long song.

Many of those are not good songs though.

...

Can't be bothered to name the rest, but
Born in the USA era (1983 - 1984)

The album, 11 songs (minus the title track), with another 20 songs that would end up on B-sides, later releases, archival releases. Then there's another 15 or so finished songs that got played live on the tour and whose master tapes have been leaked from the studio, but have not seen official releases.

So yeah, that brings us to 150 good songs.

Such as?

Bruce's early stuff is underrated. Been jamming lately to Greetings from Asbury Park and The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle.

I think the only band I'd argue had like 90% good songs was Blue Oyster Cult.
And 90% of the bad ones were on Agents of Fortune. Its honestly ironic to me that Don't Fear the Reaper is their most known song, and its on their worst album.

>all of that was good, even the things I've never heard
No
Shit like Dancing in the Dark, Born in the USA, Two Hearts, etc.

>even the things I've never heard
What are you talking about. The songs are out there, have been played live numerous times, you can fucking pull up the studio version on youtube. There was just never a sanctioned release of these songs by the record label. That doesn't mean they don't exist.

>Shit like Dancing in the Dark, Born in the USA, Two Hearts, etc.
Why? Because they're fun and poppy? Bruce still did it better than most of his contemporaries. They're not bad songs. Overplayed maybe.

these dudes

>The songs are out there, have been played live numerous times
List them all. Link them all.
>Because they're fun and poppy?
Lack any real substance.
>They're not bad songs.
They aren't particularly good though.

Fuck off I can't be bothered with that if you're just going to be a purist asshole. "MUH SERIOUS N DARK ROCK AND ROLL VIBES NO FUN ALLOWED". Go look those songs up yourself, I'm not about to search up 15 youtube links

Wow rabid Springspeen fanboyism is fucking awful

Fuck Springsteen fans. They're all retarded redneck boomers from Jersey. The dude puts out one good album and you dickride him for 40 fucking years.

>average Springshit mentality

Springsteen? Real fans call him "Bruce".

Hey buddy. That was a trick. REAL fans call him "The Boss".

You're not a real fan! I have 563 CD and 463 cassette concert bootlegs in my house! I own copies of his studio albums on all formats: cassette, vinyl, 8 track, CD, remastered CD, MP3 for my phone, FLAC for my external "Boss" drive. Fucking poser. I'VE SEEN HIM AT THE MEADOWLANDS 27 TIMES! IF YOU DON'T THINK HE'S THE GREATEST LEGEND OF ALL TIME, YOU'RE A FUCKING MORON! BRUCE HAVE MY BABIES!!!!

Now, out of my way, buddy, I have a sporting event to attend.

>The dude puts out one good album and you dickride him for 40 fucking years.

Curious, which album are you talking about?

did a Springsteen fan cuck you or is this copypasta

Born to Run. Nebraska is also okay. Can't stand the rest.

>The dude puts out one good album and you dickride him for 40 fucking years.
I think he's put out more than one good album.
His first four were great. Nebraska was good. Then the quality starts to go downhill as he started to sell out. Because of that I don't think there's 150 great songs in ten years though, unless you start to twist logic and call songs youv'e never heard as "great!" purely around the myth of it, or twist logic so that mindless, dumb pop songs are good because they are fun.

...

>songs you're never heard

And the list goes on...

Steely Dan

>Frankie not in the top 10
Fake list is fake.

...

Forgot about that one. Though I don't think it was officially recorded until the Born in the USA era

They only wrote about 65 songs.

Radiohead
Portishead
Buckethead
Rich Homie Quan

This mad beast

Sugarland is very good. As is
youtube.com/watch?v=AgKi2bPatmU

He needs to put out some of this stuff someday.

And stop try to re-record old songs with new vocals too. I don't want to hear 75 year old Bruce on a sung originally sung by 25 year old Bruce.

Though I'm worried since they lost original masters to some songs, like on the River boxset the B-sides to Hungry Heart are recorded off of one of the 7" singles because they accidentally threw out the masters.

...but theyre all pretty fuckin good.
