Are we really comparing Bruce Springsteen and the Jonas Brothers?
I go with bohemian rhapsody, is such a weird song, i just can`t figure out how someone could have the imagination to write it.

I am not a huge Springsteen fan. I agree with you, most of his stuff is decent.
HOwever "Streeets of Philadephia" is definatly one of my favorite songs.
Can I Get A Witness, Carol, Everybody Needs Someone To Love, You Can't Catch Me, Not Fade Away, I Wanna Be Your Man (actually written by The Beatles), It's All Over Now . . . that's all I can remember at the moment.
Hard to choose, but at this point, I'd say "God Only Knows." On another day, I might say "Wouldn't It Be Nice." And those songs were released on the SAME SINGLE. Crazy.
Freddie Mercury is the most underrated musician of all-times.
Stupid f'ing 80's. What a decade for music.
Best song ever just crossed my mind!
I'll have to check that out.
I have never, ever been able to force myself into truly liking Pet Sounds. I'm far too conceited and cynical I think. Tough luck for me, because I know I'm missing out.
Both are critically acclaimed
Both are from New Jersey
Both sell a ton of albums
Both have songs that people like, and in turn think they are great
that is my problem with Springsteen. It's not like I don't recognize his right to exist, I do. It's that he is often referred to as one of the best ever. His fans are like Dave Matthews Band fans where they think he is the best thing to ever discover music. That is my problem with him. He will go down as someone like Bob Dylan when he should go down as someone like John Couger Mellencamp. Like Pearl Jam is one of my favorite bands, but I recognize they are not the best ever, probably not even Top 50, but Bruce fans think he is better than the freakin Beatles. They talk about him like he is a god. He wrote Working on the ing Highway- that sucks! Born to Run is him over preforming a bunch of lame-ass lyrics. And his first 2 albums were only relevant to someone if they were a union worker in Jersey. He didn't even try to use metaphors like the Beatles did so they would relate to everyone. When he was writing a song about leaving work, it was a song about leaving work:traffic, time cards, your boss, everything. That is lame.
Witness - Gaye
Carol - Berry
Everybody - Burke

I'm not saying they didn't cover songs. These songs however are associated with their primary singers, at least for me. The songs the Stones are most famous for are the ones they wrote themselves.
The Band had some kick ass songs.
The Weight is probably my favorite followed by Acadian Driftwood.
I like it but it's not something I can just listen to all the time, front to back. For a "best album ever" contender, I think it has a bit too much filler. Still, those two songs are among the most beautiful ever recorded. So fun to dissect all of the layers piece by piece.
I agree.
But, you have to give Harrison some credit.
this could be its own thread. one of my personal faves is "Kyle from Incantaion has a Moustache." i think they also got perma banned from SA for setting a club on fire.
I completely disagree, but that was some funny . BTW, Clapton fans are the exact same way.
I think it was only a matter of time before I landed on Springsteen. It's a shame he is even mentioned in this thread considering the le. So sorry everyone I'm ready to move on
The White Album is definitely my favorite. I have to make Revolver my second on the list because there are so many songs that I just love. Abbey Road, Sgt. Peppers, and Let It Be round up my Top 5.
God I'm glad you brought that up. Clapton is just a ing fraud of a legend. I can't stand the guy.BTW, Clapton fans are the exact same way.
I like The Boss, but that was a funny retort.
You can't go wrong with Erotic City.
God Only Knows is perhaps the greatest Beach Boy song.
Speaking of Clapton and how bad the 80's were for mainstream rock (especially artists that were big in the 70's), this one pretty much sums up the decade for me.
The songs I listed are the ones that established them in the 60s. It wasn't until the late 60s that they went on with their own stuff.
I guess I was just making a point that The Beatles made their way into music by writing their own material, whereas The Stones debuted with covers.
