Not liking it is a different matter.

Completely disagree.
I imagine I'm in the minority on this one...but I think the vast majority of his stuff is pretty ham-fisted.
No you're not.

Let's give it 2 or 3 days in case a few more want to turn up.

Spenno is having difficulty accessing his RM account for some reason, but he sent me a Facebook message and told me to make sure he gets a spot before they're all taken.

We can share his picks and make him win this whole thing. He'd be eternally grateful.

We should all vote for Spenno and make a mod change his custom title to "Springsteen Tournament Champion"

No one song will win anything, trag.

Here are a few Bruce tunes that you may know from other people's versions of them:

I don't like where this thread is heading. Too much noise from the anti-Bruce brigade. This thing wasn't the bat signal for you mopes to step in and say you don't think he has enough to warrant a draft. In fact, the opposite is true. It's time to get humble. Time to bow down. Time to realize your limitations as a music lover if you haven't jumped on the Boss train. At the very least, it's certainly not time for you to prattle on about your uninformed opinion regarding a master of the form. Grab a digital copy and a fucking pen and take some notes!
LET'S DO THIS THING!!

I do love that song. But that 10,000 Maniacs cover is so fucking great. I still prefer their version of it.
