Name one thing that he has written that is darker then what Springsteen has written. Just because something is overplayed does not mean it is not better.

Sorry John Cougar is nothing special IMO. Few good songs here and there, but I have yet to hear him write anything on par with Springsteen, or as dark.

Mellencamp's albums tend to be more filler than substance.

Mellencamp tends to rewrite others songs, for example I fight authority, authority always wins sounds a lot like the Bobby Fuller Four song from 1965 I fought the Law and the law won.
