I voted for Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce. Tom Petty annoys and bores me.
I wouldn't mind someone posting a bootleg of the show Bruce & The E Street Band did this past week where he performed the Born to Run album in it's entirety.

love them both...
but I had to go with Tom in the end. I grew up with his music. In fact, he was probably my first favorite singer...when I was about 7 my dad used to play his music in the car. That started it all for me. I still love him almost 15 years later!

I had to go with Tom on this one....to me, his album is more of a classic. I can't really think of any Bruce Springsteen songs except for "born in the usa" (right? that's a springsteen song, right?)
-Might be my problem though, I need to experience more Springsteen to appreciate him.

Tom Petty!
I was watching some show on Classic VH1 and Tom Petty was talking about how he opened for Bruce one time and while he was still doing his set, the crowd kept booing him. He couldn't figure out what was going on. Well the booing was actually them yelling "BRUUUUUUUCE" hahaha poor Tom! I love him. It's weird. All my favorite people are creepily connected to each other. Fleetwood Mac --> Stevie --> Don Henley/The Eagles --> Tom Petty --> Eric Clapton

The Eagles winning the last poll is unfortunate, as much as I like them! This is a really hard one but my immediate instinct wins out and so I had to go with The Boss on this. I think Tom Petty is fantastic and Damn The Torpedoes is an excellent album but I just love Born To Run. After all, he is The Boss!

This is an easy one for me. I love TP and, well, I don't like Bruce. At all. His music is just so grating to me. I'm probably one of the few people that don't like Bruce.

I thought there couldn't be a harder choice than Bob vs the Beach Boys
 After much deliberation, I flipped a coin. It told me Born to Run. I'm okay with that. Born to Run has more genuine feeling in it than Damn the Torpedos, if not as many radio friendly tracks. (and the title track is my anthem  )

-Might be my problem though, I need to experience more Springsteen to appreciate him.[/QUOTE] This is definitely true! Born In The USA is actually not one of his best and has been constantly misinterpreted since it was released. If you want to check out some of his stuff then albums to go for are The Wild, The Innocent and the E-Street Shuffle, Born To Run, Darkness on the Edge of Town and Nebraska.

My very very very personal favorite Boss song is "Tougher Than The Rest" from TOL.

I voted for Bruce since we didn't own the Petty album.
My younger brother had Born to Run and we seemed to hear it non-stop....along with Rumours. He worked at the grocery store and had more money than me. He bought all the albums, so I guess my vote is his vote....
