    Van Morrison is probably as close as you'd find in terms of poetry and style to Springsteen's early stuff. Joe Strummer and the Clash have a lot in common with Springsteen politically. In terms of Springsteen's big rock numbers, I don't think there's any equivalent in the British Isles.

    Prince, Bruce Springsteen consistently strikes me as a bland artist. grimy innovations with it incredibly is loopy grimy songs and synthesized disco sound. pink Rain, a classic in its very own correct. Prince has a greater suitable music historic past and greater suitable ordinary character.

    Joe Strummer is a real British legend, as is Paul Weller, both deserve a mention. But what about Shane Ward? ( only kidding ).
