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.
