LIKE A ROCK - Bob Seger (1986):

Post image

LIKE A ROCK (1986): Mid-80s production traits and some average material make this a Bob Seger LP of the time rather than one of lasting resonance.

Like a Rock hits very differently in my 50’s than it did in my teens.

I’ve been a classic rock fan all my life, my parents went to multiple Seger shows at Pine Knob in the 70s and early 80s

And I’ve never heard “Like a Rock” outside of the car commercials

So many great songs… they each tell a story and a very good distinctive voice!

Bob is a great story teller. You find yourself inside the song with the great lyrics, his powerful voice and the music. He has had an amazing career.

Twenty years now Where they go? Twenty years I don't know I sit and I wonder sometimes Where they've gone

Bob Seger is a great American musician and storyteller. Maybe it’s just me but he’s light years ahead of people I consider to be similar such as Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams, and John Cooter Smellendamp. Plus I’ve never heard a single them negative about him. He just seems to stay in his own lane.
