I simply cannot sit through Bruce Springsteen’s 18 minute songs. End rant.

Well, they're all packed w/ his great guitar playing and vocals though </sarc>
I can't listen to singers who popularity is based on what they do in public or social life instead of cranking out good music to listen to.. looking at you Taylor Swift and every other singer of the last 20 years.
Taylor Swift will be in the rrhof before Supertramp, Styx, Boston, Three Dog Night, and Grand Funk Railroad. It's not them, it's us. Our ears just aren't refined and nuanced enough to recognize great music when we hear it.
I can’t change the channel fast enough when that McCartney Wonderful Christmas Time song come on.
Taylor is an excellent songwriter. One of the best of her generation. Bruce - also excellent. But the 20 minute live versions of Santa Claus is Coming to Town are just too self indulgent for me.
And what did we do to deserve MtNittany all the sudden posting here? FML.

Jon Anderson Geddy Lee and Early Genesis are confused by this comment.
Iron Butterfly would have been confused but they weee passed out on LSD.
Not a Three Dog Night fan I gather. They didn't write much, but sure sold a lot of good records. You should check them out.
That's horrific. That reverb intro is cheesy enough, but as soon as I hear the first word of that song from Sir Paul my skin starts crawling.

Long songs - fine. Long Santa songs? Live? No.
Are those the "live songs" that include him reminiscing about coming home late and having to chat with his father at the dining table? I agree...they're bad.
Just shut up and play your music.
I can’t stop singing the rally house jingle. ‘Rally house rally house rally house rally house”
I love Springsteen, including Santa Claus is Coming to Town. It’s a great, rocking Christmas song. And about 4:30 long, for the record.
I also like Taylor Swift. I don’t really seek her music out but I do like what I hear. Not sure why she gets so much pushback.
