It is important to note that even Bruce’s most lackluster albums contain great songs. All of Bruce’s songs have some merit. There are none that I can think of that have bad words AND bad music. Usually it’s either good music with bad lyrics or bad music with good lyrics. Take queen of the Supermarket for example. The music for that song is actually pretty good. It’s just the lyrics that suck.
