Bob Seger.

    You may not get many people here who like Seger (apologies if I am wrong). I discovered him through being an Eagles fan & finding out that he & Glenn Frey were friends from Detroit. He was the only musician to pay Frey a proper musical tribute after his death (aside from Frey's solo songwriting partner, Jack Tempchin) - in fact, two songs, I Knew You When & Glenn Song.


    That aside it is a cliché that Seger is like a Springsteen/Mellencamp epitome of 'blue collar working men's rock'. I always thought he was far less bombastic than Springsteen & a lot more believable when writing about relationships .


    Some of my favourites;


    Beautiful Loser

    Katmandu

    Night Moves

    Mainstreet

    The Fire Down Below

    Hollywood Nights

    No Man's Land

    Shame On The Moon (features Frey on backing vocals)

    Face The Promise

    Great tracks, I'd add Come to Poppa, Till it Shines, Travelin' Man, Her Strut.

    I love Till It Shines, but Her Strut - er.... 'they do respect her but they love to watch her strut'. I try not to take it too seriously but I struggle with it.

    'they do respect her but they love to watch her strut'. I try not to take it too seriously but I struggle with it.

    It's just a song. But at the same time, there are certainly a vast amount of 'strutters', trying to draw attention to themselves. No one tells them to 'strut'.

    I am a casual fan. I find him a fantastic vocalist and performer, and a decent writer. I like many individual songs, from his rockers to his more reflective works. Just have never committed to an album.

    His album "Live Bullet" is what brought me into his camp, I've only seen him twice, once in '77 and last year. Great performer, puts his all into it.
