Originally a hard-driving rocking chair in the vein of fellow Michigan garage rockers the Rationals and Mitch Ryder, Bob Seger developed into one of the most pop heartland rockers o'er the path of the '70s. Combining the drive charge of Ryder's Detroit Wheels with Stonesy garage rock and veneration to hard-edged individual and R&B, he crafted a distinctively American level-headed. While he never attained the critical regard of his contemporary Bruce Springsteen, Seger did develop a dedicated following through constant touring with his Silver Bullet Band. Following various years of lost chances and lost opportunities, Seger at last achieved a national hearing in 1976 with the consecutive waiver of Live Bullet and Dark Moves. After the atomic number 78 achiever of those albums, Seger retained his popularity for the following two decades, cathartic sevener Top Ten, platinum-selling albums in a course.


Seger began playing music in 1961 as the loss leader of the Detroit-based tercet the Decibels; his future handler, Eddie "Punch" Andrews was likewise a member of the band. Moving to Ann Arbor, he played with the Town Criers earlier he became the keyboardist and vocalizer for Doug Brown & the Omens. Billing themselves as the Beach Bums, the band released "The Ballad of the Yellow Beret," a burlesque of the Sgt. Barry Sadler song "The Ballad of the Green Beret." The unmarried was indrawn shortly after its waiver subsequently Sadler threatened a case. In 1966, Seger released his first solo individual, "Orient Side Story," which became a regional hit. Several other local pip singles followed on Cameo Records, including "Persecution Smith" and "Heavy Music," earlier his mark folded. In 1968, he formed the Bob Seger System and signed with Capitol Records, cathartic his debut album, Ramblin' Gamblin' Man, in the springiness of that class. The rubric course became a internal hit, climbing to number 17, but the group's followup, Noah, stiffed and Seger distinct to leave office the music business at the last of 1969 to look college.


By the end of the summertime, Seger had returned to rock & wheel with a new patronage ring, cathartic Mongrel at the end of the year. For 1971's Mark New Morning, he disbanded his chemical group and recorded a singer/songwriter exploit. Following its release, he began playacting with the distich Dave Teegarden and Skip "Van Winkle" Knape, and the duo provided support on 1972's Smokin' O.P.'s, which was the low gear release on Palladium Records, a judge he formed with Andrews. The album failed to sell, as did Plunk for in '72 (1973) and Seven (1974), and he affected game to Capitol Records for 1975's Beautiful Loser. For the recording of Beautiful Loser, Seger formed the Silver Bullet Band, which consisted of guitarist Drew Abbott, bassist Chris Campbell, keyboardist Robyn Robbins, saxophonist Alto Reed, and drummer Charlie Allen Martin. Seger supported Beautiful Loser with an extensive duty tour with the Silver Bullet Band, and spell it didn't constitute the album a strike, it provided a widespread grassroots following crossways the country. The touring paying off in 1976, when Live Bullet, a double album recorded in Detroit, became a strike, expenditure over three years on the U.S. charts and going au; the album would eventually go quartette pt.


The groundswell slow Alive Bullet sent Seger's succeeding studio album, Night Moves (1976), into the Top Ten early in 1977. Night Moves became a smash hit, generating the hit singles "Night Moves," "Mainstreet," and "Rock & Roll Never Forgets." Stranger in Town, released in the summer 1978, was just as successful, featuring the hits "Still the Same," "Hollywood Nights," "We've Got Tonite," and "Previous Time Rock & Roll." Stranger in Town confirming his condition as one America's virtually popular rockers. Seger's succeeding album, 1980's Against the Wind, became his low gear number one album and all of its big hits -- "Fire Lake," "Against the Wind," "You'll Accomp'ny Me" -- were ballads. The live album Club Tonight continued his multi-platinum success in 1981, merchandising three 1000000 copies and peaking at act three.


Seger returned with The Distance in 1982. The Distance was the low gear album since Seven to be recorded with the gain of session musicians, which caused guitar player Abbott to quit the band in thwarting. Over the grade of the next decennary, the membership of the Silver Bullet Band shifted constantly. While The Distance featured "Shame on the Moon," his biggest strike individual to date, its gross sales plateaued at a 1000000 copies, suggesting that his popularity was beginning to tier off. Seger besides began to drastically cut back his recording and touring schedules -- he only released unrivaled other album, 1986's Like a Rock, during the '80s. Like a Rock and its load-bearing duty tour were both successes, paving the way for "Shakedown," a song taken from the soundtrack to Beverly Hills Cop II, to become Seger's lone number one strike in 1987. Four days after its discharge, he returned with The Fire Inside. Although the album went pt and reached the Top Ten, it only appealed to Seger's devoted following, as did 1995's It's a Mystery, which became his low gear album since Live Bullet to bomb to go pt, tearing down off at gold status. In 2006, after an 11-year foramen, Seger released Face the Promise.
