I've never seen him in concert, but I see him every time I listen to "Turn the Page".
One of my favorites of all time. |

Interesting mix IMO of some truly great songs -- Night Moves, Turn the Page come immediately to mind -- and some bad ones -- Against the Wind (ugh), Still the Same.
I remember hearing Night Moves for the first time and it was a revelation. Way up firm and high, an immortal line. Trivia -- what has he said was the "song from 1962" he was humming in the slow section?

I’m virtually certain Bob’s “catalog” exceeds Springsteen’s. Far better musician too. Trent King

I user her, and she used me, and neither one cared.

I like them both. Night Moves. Jungleland.
My sister went to see Seger back in the day. It remains her standard by which all other live acts are measured.

I thoroughly enjoy Bob Seger and think he's made some fantastic music. I don't think he's appreciated as much as he should be, but I think there are many musicians and bands from that era that suffer the same fate.
His voice has also aged like a fine wine, as his later recordings have leaned into its depth. He was featured on an album by John Fogerty not too long ago and their duet of "Who'll Stop the Rain" is excellent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j48955kL8zo

Live Bullet was one of the soundtracks of my youth. If you can consider anyone of Seger's stature and accomplishments to have made a mistake, it was that he "boycotted" iTunes at a time when it was pretty critical to a musician's popularity, though for him, he really had already made his fortune, so the personal consequences were minimal. He could have been better appreciated, though.

I think Springsteen is one of the greatest songwriters of the rock and roll era. Certainly, up there with Dylan. I agree that the totality of Seger's work does not rise to that level, there are songs he wrote that are worthy of being compared to Springsteen and Dylan.
Specifically, I think that songs like "Roll Me Away," "The Fire Inside" and "No Man's Land" are the equal of anything written by Bruce. I am also fond of his version of "California Stars." Even though the lyrics were written by Woody Guthrie and the music by Jeff Tweedy, he lends it a certain authenticity since it touches on a main theme that flows through his own songs.

I never knew that until I just looked it up. The song actually came out in 1963 and it seems like it would be a difficult song to hum.

He could have just hummed the whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. I think I read Ronnie Spector actually ad libbed that.
