Squeezing Out Sparks was definitely one of the best releases of that decade. yeah, Parker certainly deserves more recognition of his talents than he's gotten...

i didn't care much for Bruce; Graham was the real deal back in the day.

Don't forget Springsteen guested on the track Endless Night from the Up Escalator album with Graham which is a show of mutual respect . Both great artists regardless of who sold more records.

Just superb.

There is no doubting Graham's songwriting ability and stagecraft. With the Rumour there was always a blaze of energy and commitment live, certainly at the London gigs I went to. Unfortunately no specific single by him made a dent on public consciousness in the way, say, Oliver's Army did. Don't ask me questions should have hit home. Plus, both Costello and Springsteen have been astute in their dealings with the press and broadcast media. (Notwithstanding Costello's moment with Stills and co!).

[derbyzdad]

always thought he was as great as The Boss was in the late 70's. Never could figure out why he didn't have the same popularity?

They've got new idols for the screen today

Although they make a lot of noises they got nothing to say

I try to look amazed but it's an act

The movie might be new but it's the same soundtrack

The amount of riffs and rhythms are relatively finite. But when it comes to creating music artists do have an infinite amount of arrangements (if they're good enough) and they certainly can create a unique and compelling harmonious song. That's why there will always be that fresh new sounding song that comes along every so often.
