Bob Seger

Never a choice for me, Bob Seger every time.

B.T.

Have heard a few people over the years say his live shows are just ok, not great. I suspect you disagree?

I've never seen him in concert, but I see him every time I listen to "Turn the Page".

One of my favorites of all time.

Interesting mix IMO of some truly great songs -- Night Moves, Turn the Page come immediately to mind -- and some bad ones -- Against the Wind (ugh), Still the Same.

I remember hearing Night Moves for the first time and it was a revelation. Way up firm and high, an immortal line. Trivia -- what has he said was the "song from 1962" he was humming in the slow section?

I’m virtually certain Bob’s “catalog” exceeds Springsteen’s. Far better musician too. Trent King

I user her, and she used me, and neither one cared.

Oh, to be 18 again.

(I wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then.)

I like them both. Night Moves. Jungleland.

My sister went to see Seger back in the day. It remains her standard by which all other live acts are measured.

Workin' on mysteries without any clues

Your second line is actually Against The Wind

I thoroughly enjoy Bob Seger and think he's made some fantastic music. I don't think he's appreciated as much as he should be, but I think there are many musicians and bands from that era that suffer the same fate.

His voice has also aged like a fine wine, as his later recordings have leaned into its depth. He was featured on an album by John Fogerty not too long ago and their duet of "Who'll Stop the Rain" is excellent.

I never knew that until I just looked it up. The song actually came out in 1963 and it seems like it would be a difficult song to hum.

He could have just hummed the whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. I think I read Ronnie Spector actually ad libbed that.
