[rocket]

reluctantly voting gnr, don't like either.

[ManCrushOnNomar]

G'n'R only if you discount the crap Axl tried to pull with Buckethead and Co.

[soapy]

Never been much of a GnR fan. I went with Bruce and E Street, though I'm not that big on them either.

[soccer10k]

I have to go with GnR.

[Butterscup1679666578]

GnR, just because Sweet Child of Mine and Civil War are awesome. Other than that they pretty much suck.

 

 

Oh, and I hate Bruce Springsteen with a fiery passion.

[Tracer Bullet]

I like AFD better than anything Bruce ever put out. Not a big fan of the Boss.

[Marco4]

I can't stop listening to Born To Run (the album), so its the Boss. I liked the first half of the Ghost of Tom Joad a lot as well.

Appetite is one of the top 10 greatest albums of all time IMO.

That's not a Bruce Sprinsteen and the E Street Band album.

I think Bruce's ranking and voting has been heavily influenced by his solo work, when solo acts were supposed to be excluded.

Born To Run is, though, isn't it? I take your point about Tom Joad.

 

I'd take Greetings From Asbury Park above Appetite as well, however much I enjoy it.

[bhogg]

Born to Run is with the E Street Band.

 

Everything right up til Born in the USA was with them. Born in the USA wasn't 100 percent with the E Street Band, however.

 

Oops, Nebraska is mostly just Bruce and a tape recorder. . . . but they hadn't split when Nebraska came out. . . . does that make sense?

[cbbryan]

G'N'[expletive]'R MAN!!!

 

It's too bad Axl is an arse, or they may have had alot more stuff out.

 

But Sweet Child O' Mine, Welcome to the Jungle, Mr. Brownstone, November Rain, Patience.............

 

 

They had some great songs.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

GNR all the way here!

[CubinNY]

This is a joke. How can a band that produced one good album even be in this group. Guns N Roses were basically a one album band while Springsteen has been relavent for three decades.

Because Bruce is:

 

O-VER

RA-TED

Springsteen.

[NewUserName]

I was thinking about this some and something that I have found is it is hard to call a band overrated or underrated. It really is all about personal taste. A whole bunch of people must not agree with the Springsteen is overrated thing because he has sold millions albums over the years. Personnally I would take Appetite for Destruction over any Springsteen album but GnR never came close to being that good again.

Also if you went with a large scale national poll of who was the better band I do believe Springsteen would win. Is this because they are overrated? Really what does this all boil down to except personal taste.

I know voting is over, but I feel that if anything, Springsteen is underrated. Perhaps during the '80s he was huge, but I think since then his association with gaudy '80s rock has tarnished his image and the very high quality of his music. He's never had a #1 hit.

 

Also, The Rising is an incredible album, as far as his newer stuff goes (with the E-Street Band) - it's the only 9/11 tribute I heard that didn't strike me as cheesy or disingenuous. It's earnest, non-judgmental, personal, moving, and above all, really really good. I highly recommend it to anyone.
