Bob Seger vs. Rod Stewart
Two veteran rockers, both still selling out arenas, come to town this week.
Bob Seger is charging less per ticket than Rod Stewart but both shows are pricey. Who deserves your hard-earned dollars? Let's compare.
Hometown: Dearborn, Mich.
Admired by: Kid Rock, all red-blooded Americans
Quotable: "We were just young, restless and bored."
Soundtrack: Seger's "Old Time Rock Roll" played while Tom Cruise danced around in his tighty-whities in the 1983 film "Risky Business.
"
Current: Scored a hit by rewriting "Against the Wind" as "Wait for Me," from his latest album "Face the Promise."
Hometown: London, England
Quotable: "All you did was wreck my bed."
Most annoying hit: "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?
"
Celebrity wives: Alana Hamilton (formerly Mrs. George Hamilton), Rachel Hunter (aka "Stacey's Mom")
Soundtrack: Stewart's "Every Picture Tells A Story" featured in 2000 film "Almost Famous."
Current: Covered songs by Bob Seger and other contemporaries on his latest album "Still the Same: Great Rock Classics of Our Time.
