I'm posting too late to count, but I just wanted to comment on these two artists.
I love them both so much. A little while ago, on imdb, someone in the music forum put them up against each other and Bruce won majorly, but I couldn't decide at the time.
Now it would be Bruce. I never understood his music or appeal until I started getting his albums and really listening to his words and the way he sang them. He's absolutely amazing. I haven't had the opportunity to see him live, but I have seen some shows on DVD and they are mindblowing. I think Darkness On the Edge of Town,Nebraska, The Rising, and his new one are brilliant. Especially The Rising. It's become a major favorite album of mine. I really think his music is amazing and incredibly diverse, although a lot of people seem to typecast him unfairly.
Now Tom...awesome, awesome, awesome. Amazing artist. I love him and honestly haven't heard anything by him that I could say I dislike. Saw him in concert and he was INCREDIBLE. One of my most favorite concert experiences ever. I think his music can be so catchy, I love his lyrics, and sometimes he has those really gorgeous songs (like Square One off of Elizabethtown) that just blow you away. I really love him as an artist, but his songs probably move me just a *tad* less than Bruce's- and that's kind of what qualifies a preference for me, when choosing between artists.
But really they both kick ass. I'm a big fan of each.
