Bruce Springsteen has performed with several backup bands throughout his career, most notably the E Street Band, which has been his primary ensemble since the early 1970s. The E Street Band features prominent members like Clarence Clemons, Max Weinberg, and Steven Van Zandt. In addition, Springsteen has occasionally collaborated with other musicians and bands for specific projects or tours, such as the Sessions Band for his "Seeger Sessions" album.
Bruce Springsteen has written several notable songs for other artists, including "Because the Night," which was famously recorded by Patti Smith and later by Springsteen himself. He also penned "Fire," which was a hit for The Pointer Sisters and later covered by Springsteen. Additionally, "Shut Out the Light" was recorded by Johnny Rivers, showcasing Springsteen's songwriting versatility beyond his own albums.
In addition to "Blinded by the Light" and "Greasy Lake," Manfred Mann's Earth Band also covered Bruce Springsteen's song "Spirit in the Night." They brought their unique style to this track as well, showcasing Springsteen's songwriting talents through their interpretation.
Bruce Springsteen is primarily known for his English-language music and has not publicly demonstrated fluency in French. While he may have performed songs in other languages or interacted with French-speaking audiences, there is no evidence to suggest he speaks French proficiently. His focus remains on his English lyrics and storytelling.
Bruce Springsteen, known as The Boss, once said, "When I was growing up, there were two things that were unpopular in my house. One was me, and the other was my guitar." Springsteen got the music bug when he was seven years old and saw Elvis Presley perform on "Toast of the Town." He bought his first guitar when he was 13 and joined The Castiles, his first band, a year later. Over the next dozen years, Springsteen formed, joined and reconfigured many bands, wrote and performed and cut albums. It wasn't until music critic Jon Landau wrote in Rolling Stone magazine," I have seen rock & roll future and its name is Bruce Springsteen," that Springsteen and his E Street Band began to make a mark on the music scene. In December, he will be among the five recipients of 2009's Kennedy Center Honors. Happy 60th birthday to The Boss - Grammy-winner, Rock 'n Roll Hall-of-Famer, megastar Bruce Springsteen, born on September 23, 1949.

Both Springsteen and BSB sold the same amount; however, the Backstreet Boys sold the same amount in a much shorter time period, so technically they are more popular in the past 20 years (if not in general).

One band comes to mind in particular, The Hold Steady. Other than that, Damien Jurado has a brilliant albume called, "Where Shall You Take Me," which hearkens back to "Nebraska." And Arcade Fire has drawn comments about similarities in a few songs on "Neon Bible" in particular. The Killers have also been accused/remonstrated for sounding like poor Springsteen rip-offs on their most recent albums.
