Why is he underrated?

I have to get my eyes checked. I thought this post was about Bob Saget….

How is he underrated?

Apparently if you look on Reddit he is classified as a 3rd rate act. Behind Springsteen etc. I was stunned to find this out.

Found nothing online to suggest he gets his due. What gives?

… why do you care what Reddit thinks?

He has sold 75 million albums in his life time so obviously they’re wrong.

I don’t care what Reddit thinks, I’m just surprised. Does this not compute?

I think it’s because he is always running…against the wind.

He’ll always be the king of rock in Michigan

Right…

Underrated? He’s massively overrated. You can’t turn on a classic rock station in the midwest without hearing him several times a day.

Who do you listen to?

Maybe because he only likes that old time rock and roll

How in Elune’s name is this underrated…

You know what hurts my feelings? I like Bob Seger. But watching football the other day, “Like a Rock” was playing behind a car commercial. I guess he needed the money. But it hurt me.

He is fervently against the wind.
Remember in Sad deog oh in the parking lot… Playing D&D with the rest of the tail gaters.

Turn the page…

I don’t know about anyone else, but I like that old time rock n’ roll.

You know what I’m talking about? That kind of music just soothes my soul.

I mean, it’s not like Springsteen is a nobody; ranking behind him doesn’t make Seger underrated.

Yeah, but radio is weird. For example, the only song you hear off BOC’s Fire of Unknown Origin album on the radio is “Burnin’ for You” even though it’s in the bottom half of the album.

It goes a bit deeper than this btw.

While I like Blue Oyster Cult, they have one hit more than Head East (a one hit wonder). One of those being a song you consider bottom half.

Isn’t Bob Seger dead now? I think he OD’ed in some hotel bathroom on some bad smack.
