No one epitomizes the constipated look more than Joe Cocker though.

Springsteen is tremendously talented, but I disliked his 'arena rock' era.

The music wasn't nearly as good as the first few albums, it was typical big arena rock music, not the well crafted stuff that he did before, and after. stuff made to be played loudly over sound systems in an echo-filled arena to 50,000 to 100,000 people. It's not the same.
Good music can be played to a crowd of 25 in a small bar, and sound even better.

That would be why I really don't like him, he seems to have to force it out in a scream or yell.
It always sounds a little monotone when he does that.
I do like his rendition of "The Ghost of Tom ones" though.

I first thought this was a memorium thread.
Is it wrong not to like that guys' music? I mean, really. Do,do,do, lookin' out my back door. A dinosaur Victrola listening to Buck Owens? Gag me with a spoon.
I dig the new stuff the kids are listening to on their walkmans.
Hop in my Chrysler,
it's as big as a whale
and it's about to set sail!
I got me a car, it seats about twenty
So c'mon and bring your jukebox money.
Yay.

Fogerty is a boring bitter old hack who's voice (such as it was) left him decades ago.

Love John Fogerty. I saw him here at Ottawa Bluesfest in july. I was really impressed at his performance given his age and all. His voice is still in great shape and his hair looks like its been the same since the 60s.
As for Springsteen he's one of my favorites. I agree with the comments about Born in the USA though. Hasnt aged well, bad production. Funny how a lot of people mistake the meaning of the song. My favorites of his would be Darkness on the Edge of Town and Nebraska. I'll go for anyone who has great lyrics.

I saw "CCR" in Elliot Lake a few years back and left very disappointed. Tom was gone (already knew that) there was no John and I really didn't recognize the guy on bass.
