Changed my mind- what the hell, I'll bite. I'm a little bored on a Saturday night.
Truthfully, I would love to have a serious, rational discussion about this; not to make an argument over who is "better", but to address your actual question. By "reputation", I assume you mean within the music industry?
You say that you're looking forward to seeing Bruce, yet I get the feeling that you think his accolades are a bit misplaced- and it's cool if you feel that way. I'd also like to see an example of where he's "rated as the second coming". He has his "fans", but he certainly has plenty of detractors if you look a little.
IMO, this is also a bit of apples and oranges; Bruce is different than either Meat or Jim, in that Bruce both writes and performs all his own music, whereas Jim for the most part writes and produces, and Meat for the most part is a performer.
BTW- I realize this is going off the original topic, and I'm fine with that seeing as I started the thread, but if the mods feel differently, I have no issue with starting a separate thread.
