Bruce all the way. Born to Run pretty much sealed the deal. Born In the U.S.A. is also good.

Definitely Elvis Costello, his first 9 albums are amazing. Born to Run and Tunnel of Love are also great but Elvis wins.

Yeah, I agree with this. Both are great songwriters and showmen. Neither have a wide vocal range. They write about totally different topics and perspectives though, and of course their styles are totally different. I think Elvis is more of a wordsmith though, and I appreciate that in a songwriter. on the other hand, Bruce is a very economical songwriter and says a lot in very few and simple words, Yeah, Elvis by a hair.

erm so who do you think of spingsteen and costello is the britney equivalent?...

anyway, i love them both but bruce wins hands down, his songs really make me feel something that i cant get from many other bands and singers. born to run pretty much pisses on all of elvis stuff, both elvis' actually.

Bruce.

Born to Run is probably equal to My Aim Is True & This Year's Model combined :S

My favourite songs by both are Born To Run and What's So Funny Bout Peace Love & Understanding, and I prefer Born To Run more.

So ya, Bruce Springsteen wins for me, although neither of them are my piece of cake.

Well I got three Bruce albums on my top 12 and on my artist ranking he holds the #4 spot (after Beatles, Stones and Dylan), so it's not a hard choice. Make sure you listen to his first two albums before casting your votes. They are nothing like the later stuff that I can understand does not appeal to all tastes.

The Boss wins by a margin.

As much as Mr. Costello himself reminds me of the great Rivers Cuomo, This Year's Model seemed pretty bland to me.

However, regardless of how annoying Bruce is, he created a surreal masterpiece in Born To Run.
