Growing up in the Midwest, one state south of Seger's own, I was blessed to come of age and then enter adulthood during his best period as a rocker. I was 13 when NIGHT MOVES came out, 15 for STRANGER IN TOWN, 17 for AGAINST THE WIND, a high school graduate for NINE TONIGHT and a college student for THE DISTANCE.
I could reach back for LIVE BULLET and "Ramblin Gamblin Man" and there would be later flashes of greatness with "Like a Rock" (all those truck commercials couldn't kill that song for me) and "Wreck This Heart" from his latest album but I was in the perfect era to experience his music during his best years.
THE DISTANCE will always be the last great album to me. Maybe it was because of where I was and how far off the road I went that I couldn't appreciate his later stuff (I wondered why he was singing about Cuban refugees in "Miami" off of 1986's LIKE A ROCK)...but he nailed the Midwestern experience for us while we were living it in the 70's and early 80's.
Thank you, Bob.

You know how many of the rock bands from the 70's had trouble finding an appropriate sound once the 80's rolled around? You know, a sound that can make the band maintain their level of enjoyment while updating the sound of the 80's and still being *good*? Bob Seger apparently didn't have any problem with the change, as many of the songs contain that same feeling of enjoyment that the previous Seger albums from the 70's did. I really like the ballad "Comin' Home" a LOT. It sounds so honest and meaningful, and Bob's vocals elevate the melody to new heights. The album also has some good rockers too. A comeback album worth owning.

A fine album from Bob and the boys, which I bought for Makin Thunderbirds, a fine bit of rock and roll and the rest of the album is fine too. Another item for Seger fans.

No Bob Seger fan should do without this album and "Its A Mystery" The man never makes bad music. Its timeless. We need more of his style of music.

I've bought the vinyl LP version of this album, because someone had recommended it to me.
I'm not a Bob Seger's fan, but I found the music of this album much too simple, "déjà vu", and pretty boring for me who is usually into progressive rock.
I nevertheless gave 3 stars, because I might not be very objective to judge this sort of music, and I don't want to make Bob's fans too angry.
Simply put, I could not believe my eyes when seeing this record had an average rating of more than 4 stars, so wanted to correct a little bit this.
