Robert Clark "Bob" Seger (born
May 6, 1945) is an American rock musician
from Michigan, who after years of regional
success, achieved his greatest national
success in the 1970s and 1980s.
Best known for his work with the Silver
Bullet Band, a group he formed in 1974,
Seger is a workhorse Midwestern roots
rocker who dealt with blue-collar themes
and toured constantly in support of his
frequent album releases. As such, critics
ignorant of when his career got started
have dismissed him as a poor man's Bruce
Springsteen, though Seger's career as
a professional musician predates Springsteen's
by five years. Seger's successes paved
the way for other heartland rockers including
John Mellencamp and the Michael Stanley
Band. Buy
