He performed Turn the Page during his Hall of Fame induction.  You could hear a pin drop.  Every person in that room understood it deeply.
"Still the Same"  That track knocks my socks off every time.
Just make sure when you're running, you're not farting against the wind. 
Average rating today is 7.3 so it seems that all you haters below were incorrect.

Easier said than done.

It fits nicely here on RP, and given Bill's genius for combinations, goes nicely with Nothin' But a Breeze (Jesse Winchester) and Hurricane (James Vincent McMorrow).  A windy set.

You must be lost in time.  This hasn't been commercial airplay in over 30 years.

Argh! Not Bob Seger on Radio Paradise! I hate him! Hate hate hate! Ahem. Sorry. Stil, I'm afraid I must agree with Tenacious_C and lotus_65. I can't stand listening to Bob Seger.



H8!!!!
Very much reflecting the ca. 1980 Jackson Browne sound.
This song is very difficult not to like when it's sung by such a natural raconteur.

It's too bad when good becomes overplayed and therefore somehow bad. I respect those who just don't like it; for those who've just heard it too many times not so much. 



This is one of those songs that found me right when I needed it most, and that's why I rate it a 10.

"I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then" is one of my favorite song lyrics too.

Long Live RP and keeping on keeping on!!
As a pianist I confess I quite like Paul Harris's Bruce Hornsby-esque solo.
Just in case you don’t recall the background lyrics, they go:
“Against the Wind” (* 100) 
Bob Seeger doesn't get the respect he deserves. He was out there on the road being 'Bruuuuce' before Bruce was.
great words... thanks bob...

Yes, but Bob Seg(e)r is not too bad.
1º song
bob seger is so awful..i never want to hear him on RP.
i mean he can sing, and its not like he is repulsive like KISS or RATT
or all those cookie monster metal bands, but short of that he is just horrible.

I gotta believe the RP tent is big enough to include Bob Seger. I wasn't dieing to hear Bob, but I think this fits fine here.

I seem to stick up for a lot of songs on RP that others complain about....but not this one. Heard this too much while searching bad radio stations in the car to want to hear it here.

A friend of mine once tried to count how many times he says "against the wind." Don't remember, but I think it was in the hundreds! It's kind of grown on me, as well, though.
Ah jeeez. Whenever I hear Bob Seger, and especially this one, it rockets me right back to high school in southern Indiana. Seger had constant airplay (along with the local fav, Johnny Cougar (not-yet-Mellencamp)) Hot sticky summers, swimming in the quarries. A loooooong time ago. Thanks (I guess) for the memory.
It's nice to hear this every once in a while.
NO NO NO NO! Bob Segar blech...
Typically, I don't like Bob Seger, but this song is quite good and has come to mean more as I've grown older.
