Bruce Springsteen!

Seriously SCREW YOU CHERYL FOR HATING THE BOSS BECAUSE HE'S A DEMOCRAT STOOLY! I DON'T CARE ABOUT HIS POLITICS THE DUDE IS A GENIUS, HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THESE LYRICS????

The dogs on Main Street howl, because they understand
If I could take one moment into my hands
Mister, I ain't a boy, no I'm a man
And I believe in the promised land

OR THESE?

The screen door slams and Mary's dress sways
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again 'cause I just can't face my self alone...

I like Tom Petty!

I like Tom Petty, too:

The wind is high and the rain is heavy
And the water's rising on the levy
I think of her when the sun goes down
It never goes away, but it all works out

 

[Mandi]

Last Dance with Mary Jane is my favorite song

I recommend checking out his less-popular stuff, some of it is pretty amazing.

I find it surprising how good his lyrics are, because when he talks he sounds like he has an IQ of 60.
