Bob Seger is the most boring man to ever live, who made the most boring music ever made. He made multiple entire albums of dirges for alcoholic middle aged men from the Midwest. I can think of a few fictional Bob Seger album titles:
>Bob Seger sings boring songs about being boring
>Bob Seger sings about his alimony payments to his two ex wives
>Bob Seger sings about how he got laid off from the sheet metal factory in Grand Rapids in a company downsizing
>Saturday Night spent at the local bar complaining to other drunks about his exes
Great stuff if you're a boomer who wants some idle background music to play in the car on a long road trip.
Against The Wind [RCA Victor, 1980]
Slow songs about love alternate with medium-rocking songs about sex. Title and concept: Slow song about the futility of life, just in case you think he's "sold out" or some such. C
>>127050488who said anything about Sabrina Carpenter anywhere?
>>127050470 (OP)>Bob Seger is the most boring man to ever live, who made the most boring music ever made.actually that would be james taylor. every one of his songs sound alike. at least bob has some fast songs like rock n roll never forgets
>>127050557Me, stupid, can't you read?
How long have you held this grudge against Bob Seger? Have you ever fantasized about hurting Bob Seger? Are these fantasies general in nature or do they feature specific scenarios and procedures?
>>127050654lol Cuckgau hated James Taylor back then for reasons along those lines
The Distance [RCA Victor, 1983]
I had filed this as unlistenable until the amazing tuneout power of "Roll Me Away" piqued me into determining why. The songs aren't half bad--adequate melodically and with moments of good writing. But Seger's romantic individualism is a little simpleminded, more late-outlaw than Bruce, and it's suffocated by overstatement. Almost any country singer could show him how to approach a cliché kinda easy like. In fact, with his connections Seger could probably get lessons from Willie himself. But with his taste he'd probably choose Waylon instead. C+

>>127050470 (OP)finally /mu/ is right about something
Im GenX and grew up having to turn the radio station to another station every time one of his mind numbing dumb urban-life-glorification songs came on
the song 'against the wind' is an anthem for white trash jerk offs
>>127050470 (OP)I remember listening to Turn the Page as a kid in the back of a early 2000s W body impala or chrysler intrepid (depending on who was giving me a ride) and have fond memories
Everything else he made was ass
>>127051253So he was like 70s-80s Nickelback, right?
>>127050470 (OP)Bob Seger is what we call grown man music. If you can't relate to a song like "against the wind" you're too green around the collar borther. Even Metallica started covering Bob Seger songs when they grew out of their teenage metal phase.
>>127051735They were from California though so they didn't really have his gloomy Rust Belt vibe. Important difference there.
>>127051735"Hollywood Nights" was fun song to blast on summer nights with either the windows or top down. It was such a fun vibe.
>>127050470 (OP)Night Moves is based you fucking faggot
>>127051847Night Moves was a good song for back seat "Make Outting". Lots of hot sweaty tit fondling and fingering ( and beyond) to that song.
look man everyone always knew that James Hetfield, given the kind of background and upbringing he had, was inevitably going to turn into Bob Seger with heavier guitars
>>127050470 (OP)well he did rock pretty good in his youthful Detroit rocker days but he basically aged about 30 years the moment he turned 30
>>127050470 (OP)boomer envy is real.
sorry your music sucks zoom zoom.
Definitely overplayed on boomer classic radio. I find his voice a bit grating.
>>127050470 (OP)>dirges for alcoholic middle aged men from the MidwestHe made songs that made ordinary white guys from tough backgrounds feel noticed?
He must be burned.
>>127051990there was an aesthetic in 60's/70's where looking old and wizened was considered a mark of authenticity.
>>127050470 (OP)you for got about singing about the life on the road....or did you forget to Turn the Page
>>127050470 (OP)How can you forget singing about getting his share?

>>127051696Nickelback might be total dorks as far as lyrics, but those guys can rip it up on guitar as opposed to Seger's 10 minute drone choruses
>>127050470 (OP)Seger's music is all about coming to grips with the horrible realization that you will live in the Midwest for the rest of your life with no way to cope except drinking.
>>127052816coastal cope.
you will never know how it feels to rock out like in the midwest.
at least the new yorkers in kiss could admit where the real rockers were. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppG6IUfQUZM
>>127052603Everyone kind of looked like a grand old wizard of some kind. No wonder LOTR was really big back then.
>>127050470 (OP)I would never listen to one of this guy's albums, but I never minded when his songs were on the radio. For me, it's "Night Moves"
>>127050716are you the ashnikko torture guy
