    True thing, but exactly the same can be said of U2/Coldplay, U2/The Killers, U2/The Beatles and more....

    Nope. those three bands do not have the same longevity that bruce and u2 have enjoyed. Thematically, they are somewhat similar.
    soory, i don't really like Bruce
    It's not a Bruce appreciation topic..it's about the overlap.

    I love the Boss as well, saw him live about a year and a half ago, absolutely brilliant!

    -BOOTLEG SUBCULTURES!!! There is a mirror website to U2start for Bruce Springsteen, along with a listing of his Top 55 recorded Shows. A large percentage of his shows are taped and easily available online.


    Can someone please post the link for this website? Thanks!

    Those 3 were examples.

    And I listened to Bruce and The Beatles, I'm pretty sure myself that U2 sound more Beatles-ish than Springsteen-ish...
    Maybe U2's 80's work can be compared with Bruce, but their later work certainly not...

    But there's certainly an overlap...
    I agree there is an overlap between the two fanbases but find it a little puzzling because I don't think there is a very large musical overlap between Bruce and U2 as they have completely different styles of songwriting. I would compare Bruce more to a Bob Dylan type of a songwriter than i would compare him to Bono. However Bruce and U2 are two of the biggest and best bands in the world thus they have large followings.

    I like Bruce and U2 as well but I don't know if i would compare them at all except for terms of success and fan support. U2/Coldplay is probably a better musical comparison

    Never.
    Sure there's an overlap between U2 and Bruce for me.

    I absolutely love U2 since the early eighties.

    I absolutely hate Springsteen since the early eighties.

    So there's quite an overlap...

    Great observation. They have been two of my favorites for 20+ years, and I'm passing on the passion to my three sons. My 8 year old is an aspiring guitar player and loves listening to both. Luckily, his teacher is encouraging him to play what he finds enjoyable, so we're looking forward to playing simplified versions of some of their classic songs.


    Hi members. I'm new here so forgive me if I'm not replying properly.
    I just wanted to coment on dmdje3 post. Its cool your passing on your music tastes. And not "pushing" them. Perhaps you could join your son in playing the guitar.
