| It's cool that a young, cutting edge musician has "BOOH" as one of his top 20 albums of all time. I don't think that Jim's music will ever be forgotten. Brian Fallon's attraction to a piano that Roy Bittan played might be partly explained by the fact that he is a big fan of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. From Wikipedia: "The Gaslight Anthem's music also embraces many elements of the Jersey Shore sound. Brian Fallon's fondness for Springsteen, a significant influence on their music, is a fact celebrated by fans and critics alike. However the band claims they never set out to sound like the New Jersey icon. Representative of such views, one critic wrote, "The Gaslight Anthem are like something out of speculative fiction: this is what pop music would be if Springsteen hadn't listened to his producer, let The Ramones record Hungry Heart, and launched the C.B.G.B.'ers into megastardom.". Drummer Benny Horowitz and guitarist Alex Rosamilia stated that "We're more Bruce Springsteen appreciators. We didn't start listening to him until we joined the band. I always liked his songs when I heard them, but I wasn't a big fan until I met Brian [Fallon]." | |
