    No, I could see the Beatles being at the top of the list. I've got 18 hours of Bruce's music on my computer at work and I've been listening to all of it as I've been working this weekend and am amazed at how much I like each album. I just think the quality of the musicianship is amazing, and Bruce is highly, highly underrated as a guitarist and songrwiter. He's still writing killer songs like The Wrestler 30+ years into it.

    I definitely agree they are one of the greatest bands ever. Live, the best band, no doubt. Studio is amazing. From Greetings... to Born in the USA is an amazing run of albums. Not big on Human Touch and Lucky Town. The Rising is an unbelievable album. My favorite Bruce album.

    I agree with you about him being an underrated guitarist, but I think people generally agree he is one of the best songwriters of all time. I listened to Magic twice today and was blown away by it. Haven't listened to it much but that is one hell of an album.

    Bruce trading solos with Paul McCartney, Dave Grohl, Joe Walsh, and Paul's two other guitarists was sick.

    I'm tempted to listen but I'll wait until the album because if I hear one new song, I'm going to want to hear the rest of them.

    That sucks. I'm waiting until March, as well. I never listen to a leaked album. Ruins it for me. Plus, I like reading the lyrics when I listen to an album for the first time.

    Does anyone know if Bruce pre-orders normally come in earlier than the release date? I just got an email that the CD and vinyl shipped today.

    Wow... who is the artist for Bruce's SXSW poster?

    I've gotta get one of these -- Bruce seldom ever does a gig poster. Hopefully this is a harbinger for the upcoming tour.
