Bruce Springsteen is one of the worst music "artists" I have ever heard! He has the worst voice I have ever heard and sounds like he's :puke: to a music backing! He's one of the few music "artists" I have to turn off right away I can't take his voice! His voice makes Bob Dylan's voice sound beautiful! :puke:

Bottom of the barrel Bruce. Play "Cadillac Ranch" in its place.

This is the worst song ever. I think it's my first 1 rating. Congrats, Bruce.

I can remember really liking this song in 1984 - 85. It was so much better, or at least,
not as over-played as the rest of _Born In The USA_. 19.5 years later I can barely
stand it. And it's not because I don't like the Boss - I still throughly enjoy Nebraska.
Maybe "Stand on it" would be better mid-eighties B-side. I could lend Bill my 7" single.

No one likes this song? I'm gonna have to give it an 8, then. It's an upbeat, fun Bruce song, what's to hate?


Hey, veegez! Actually, the phenomenal album The River, which did in fact come out in 1980, did not contain this song (NOTE FOR BILL). Bruce did the tune as the B-Side to 'Born in the USA' in 1984 and released it on a 12" Single Collection CD a year later. However, the "1990" I was referring to (turns out it was late 1988) was Natalie Cole's version, which I loathe. Sorry for the confusion.

And I still can't stand this song. :P

I do like serious music. I just don't like "serious" music -- music made by musicians who take themselves very, very seriously and want you to know it.

As an example of the latter, consider Bruce's "Secret Garden" song that gets alot of radio airplay these days. Ick.

He's done many, many better songs than this weak rock 'n' roll-kinda song. Come on, this should be 'PROBABLY NOT' from the start.

1990 isn't exactly "back" if you're referring to this song. ;-) However, if Bruce wants to make music like this, he can stay "away." :puke: Didn't like this in 1990, don't like it now.

i totally agree, i understand the genre and style he's attempting to invoke and he's falling miserably short (and I'm a diehard springsteen fan) this is a bside throwaway filler, he's capable of SO much better!!!!

I think the reason it doesn't sound like "typical" Bruse is because he's doing a Hank Mizell tribute. Lighten up, it's supposed to be fun...

This first song on RP that I had to turn off, because ot is SO annoying. That reapeating top note that continues throughout the song. Arrghhhh.

So you don't like serious music? That's weird, specially for listening on a radiostation like this one. I like everything the boss has written, but this is one of the least good asking me...

Pink Cadillac was the B-side from "Born in the USA", not The River. It would have been a great track on most albums, but its lyrical humor wasn't a good fit with the darker themes of Born in the USA. But it's a helluva good song. Not as good as "Open All Night" but still... good.

Blech! Bruce was right to hand this one over to Natalie Cole and delegate his own version to B-side obscurity. I will pretend I never heard this and repeat play Glory Days as necessary.
