If Bruce Springsteen is so popular/successful?

Springsteen is awesome, especially 70's Bruce.\n\nUnfortunately when you tell people you like him the first thing they usually do is sing (!) 'BOOORN IN THE USAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA' - like it's the only song he's ever written. Which is a bit pathetic really.

i agree with you people in the fact that he is a talented person. he isn't really my style . however he is only 23 and has written songs for people such as Mary j blige, faith Evans, Mario and more. he was producing and writing songs before he started his own career, and i think that if he does fade away that he will continue to write great songs and produce other artists. he has done well for a boy of only 23 years. i don't think people should be judging him on only his own singing ability when he has done so much more than people know about. after all kanye west and pharrel Williams started out doing the exact same things and look at where they are today. and just so you know I'm not just another young girl who likes him for his looks, i don't actually, and i am not even a fan of his style of music. but i do believe he is talented and not just another fake. p.s. I LOVE FALL OUT BOY!!!

I would not say he has influenced me in any way but his music has provided me with endless hours of listening pleasure. Ever since I bought "Meat is Murder". \nHe is in fact one of the most original performers ever.  Great voice and great sense of humor.

I loved them when Peter Frampton was with the group...and only then.  But, I am a huge Frampton fan.  Even today..I think he is one of the top 5 most talented guitar players alive.

Yeah. The boss has done many awesome tunes over the years and the person that said doubt there is any knows nothing. It may be his most commercial but fave album is 'Born in the USA' just bought his recent album as well but not had chance to give it a listen yet.

No! Every mainstream band is not a sellout. A good musical artist wants everyone to enjoy their music. Why would you not want the most exposure to the biggest audience possible. Making money is not the main goal for a lot of bands but it is also not necessarily a bad thing. With more money you can travel to other cities and more people can hear you play. If Metallica did not become mainstream you may have never heard of them, and would not be able to enjoy their music. They couldn't be your favorite band.

Definately; MJ is a pop icon, and whatever he releases will sell. As for the sex case, look no furhter than R. kelly. If he brought out two good albums after it, so can micheal

He just plain says whatever he thinks (or his producer thinks) will get a rise out of people.  That's his show and that's his style.  He also loves to make himself look like the good guy to the majority, whatever that takes.  They're pretty much all sucking up to the masses.

I certainly wouldn't claim to speak for everyone. Yet, I agree that The Clash reflected much of the social pulse of the last 30 years. They were also successful in limiting their audience through musical improvisation. They weren't content with admitting everyone into their select fan base. They challenged the average fan into being aware of the many social discords. This means that the sought after Clash fan had to have more than ears to become one with the Clash movement. Joel Strummer had the unique ability to appeal to the social welfare of the music-listening audience. Fans were drawn to this and created their own counter-culture proudly on his heels. This created the magical chemistry that uniquely identifies The Clash from their contemporaries. Should we stay or should we go?

I think Cobain would be both.  I think he would be astounded that after 12 years after his "incident" he is still one of the biggest artists alive.  Although, he would be completely flabbergasted at all the media surrounding him still to this day because he truly hated the public viewing him as an icon, and not a man.

I think he would still be pretty popular even if he wasn't with the beatles. So many people loved his music when he wasn't with them, so why wouldn't they like it if he never was with them!?!?!?

You already said it, they are jealous!! I love his playing, he's a great musician, not my favorite, but certainly up there.
