That is absurdly low for Springsteen.

Don't be silly, FMF.

Edit, unless you indeed mean Springstein, the famous Jewish singer-song writer.

Perhaps, to truly appreciate Springsteen, you have to be born in the USA.

No, but it helps to be living in Jungleland on Thunder Road while oogling a girl named Sandy.

By the way, go listen to Jungleland, Thunder Road and Sandy, Duke. A lot! You gave The Boss a 40. That's almost as ridiculous as a 30.

People these days...

Not a believer in points (or my ability to award them) I would say Randy Newman and Billy Joel are strong candidates

...[14] Bruce Cockburn ~ 115...
Oh Lord, I have worn his Christmas album out a couple of times over.

Joni Mitchell, yes, yes, and yes.

Moving to more traditional music: Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

And since I live in Texas U.S.... Willie Nelson

Russ has designated the Culture Forum for the Arts. Why presume to become an authority unto yourself by ignoring his public forum format?
