Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band

He did. It was called Born in the USA. Yeah, yeah, he lamented Vietnam but still it was the closest he came to an unabashed rock record. He's always loved his horns but they don't get int he way of him rocking out on the title track, No Surrender, Glory Days, Darlingtown County, Dancing in the Dark, etc.

If Bruce hasn't made a real rock and roll album, please define "rock and roll" and what instruments are allowed.

Because, from where I sit typing, it could be:

1) Popular music form incorporating the music styles of rhythm and blues, gospel and country music. Yup, he done did that.

2) A type of music that emerged as a defined musical style in the Southern United States in the 1950s. It now has two distinct meanings, either traditional rock and roll in the 1950s style, or later rock and even pop music which may be very far from traditional rock and roll. Yup, done did that, too.

3) Rock 'n' roll: a genre of popular music originating in the 1950s; a blend of Black rhythm-and-blues with White country-and-western; "rock is a generic term for the range of styles that evolved out of rock'n'roll." Yup, done did that also.

4) "Rock and Roll Music" - a song written and originally recorded by Chuck Berry which became a hit single in 1957. Bingo - there you go -- we have a winner. He ain't done did that!

Also, it's new one on me that lyrical content is restricted in rock and roll.
