Bruce Springsteen vs. Tom Petty vs. U2

[mrnegativezero]

These three artists I was more or less "raised" on. However I can't say who I like better.

If you wish, I threw in the "Other" option.

Post why.

[TangledUp]

Without a doubt Tom Petty!

[secretsociety92]

Tom Petty as I have never been able to get into any music by Springsteen and I pretty much hate U2 apart from a few songs.

[Theseventhson]

Springsteen, although I admit to loving all 3 (yes, i love U2)

[briewer]

Broooooooooooce

[nlo13]

the boss.

[TangledUp]

If anyone beats out Tom Petty, it should be The Boss. That is an acceptable defeat in my mind.

[Christrings]

I went with U2, Bono is a bit of a douche but their old stuff is awesome.

[jay_klinkhammer]

I don't mind any of them. But I think I enjoy Tom Petty the most.

These 3 are fantastic though.


Also, when the title is U2 vs Tom vs Bruce....why is there an "OTHER" option? haha.

[jbaseball44]

Bruce then Petty then U2

[Chop[chop]]

I was Born to Run.

[brandnewsheep]

Bruce and Petty are equal but I went Petty 'cause I expected there to be a lot of people voting Bruce...
I hate U2.

[andrew_upto11]

Bruce. Petty is a close second.

*shrugs* Sometimes people want it. Five people thought it was necessary, although no one said who was that "other."

Tom Petty. I love all three, but I grew up on Tom Petty and will always love him. Plus, he had a cameo in this movie called the Postman and it always makes me chuckle.

[murrich]

Tom Petty.

[KyleMcr]

Springsteen

[Neo Cassady]

The Boss.

[IceAge/HeatWave]

Tom petty.

[Ryzenfall]

I've been listening to U2 the longest so I had to go with them. Their nostalgic value is just too great for me personally.

That's generally what I'm leaning toward.

[Hull]

I went with Springsteen, but all are incredible.

[zachff]

I don't know why Other is in here. I doubt anyone on APnet's favorite band is one of these three.

[zachff]

and of those three, Tom Petty

[fightinirish217]

Love all three, raised on them all as well, but nobody beats The Boss!

BRUUUUUUUUUCE!

[andrewjman]

I like all three but nobody beats the boss!! besides tom petty...I went with tom petty.

[Paulb-182]

U2

[Pat Brown]

I voted for Bruce. He and the E Street Band put on an amazing show. I've seen them live 5 times.

[SandManTEND13]

The Boss, there is no reason why he is just the Boss

[SandManTEND13]

I also like Petty but Bruce is what I went for

[BulleTheory]

Tom Petty

[Alex DiVincenzo]

Tom Petty

[mrnegativezero]

I voted for Bruce. He and the E Street Band put on an amazing show. I've seen them live 5 times.

I've always heard about his shows, nearly every time with the joke, "You see Bruce doesn't realize you have to go home. He plays for hours."

[tragedyco]

I LOVE Petty, and Bruce is great live... but U2 takes the cake.

[SeanEBoy2686]

While I like a lot of Petty's lyrics, I'm not a fan of a lot of his songs.... the Boss wins this for me.

[Say Nothing]

The Boss for sure...Springsteen has made much more of an impact on my life than U2 or Tom Petty.

[Ari Christos]

Bruce Springsteen, if only for Nebraska.


I grew up listening to U2 all the time because of my parents, so I can get into their stuff. Mostly anything from Achtung Baby and prior.

[Chris289]

Tom Petty hands down

[HallWayGang]

Tom Petty, for some reason his music touches the soul. Bruce is great and all, but, he just doesn't have that same feel. U2 cant compare with either. At least thats my opinion.

[kazuma_ootaro28]

Good one. I picked U2 (disregarding their recent material, and Bono being Bono). Older U2 is just hard to beat. The Boss is close behind them.

[BornUnderPunches]

bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce

[xapplexpiex]

Bruce > U2 > Petty

Although I haven't heard much by Petty...

[Ryan Rumsey]

Tom Petty. My mom always listened to him when I was growing up and it really stuck with me.

[mantipede]

Tom Petty. I love all three, but I grew up on Tom Petty and will always love him. Plus, he had a cameo in this movie called the Postman and it always makes me chuckle.

Possibly the best cameo of anyone, ever.

From a tattoo to actually buying his albums (instead of downloading), I love all things Tom Petty. My dad listened to him (and almost only him) my entire childhood so I was constantly hearing it. He's by far my favorite artist and is leaps and bounds better than the other two on the poll (in my own opinion, at least).

[Tristan Needler]

Of course other, but I voted U2 out of these. I can't stand Tom Petty, and I'm not a Springsteen fan either.

[Tristan Needler]

Good one. I picked U2 (disregarding their recent material, and Bono being Bono). Older U2 is just hard to beat. The Boss is close behind them.
The most recent U2 album is actually pretty great if you just take it for what it is, which is a good rock album.

I just found it boring when I listened to it back then. Went in without any high expectations (only expecting some good moments), but it still wasn't as great. To each their own though. Even How to Dismantle a Bomb had a couple of enjoyable tracks.

See, I love all three of these artists, so I wouldn't be able to compare them that much. U2 is the most different of the three and I wouldn't think that people would really compare them. Comparing Petty and Springsteen makes more sense.

[Grohl]

The Boss.
