It is said that you either love him or hate him. I am just curious as to what this design community thinks of him. Personally, I don't even think he's human, but rather sent by the gods for the good of the world. But don't hold back, I really want to know how you feel.

Listen to Bob Dylan when you've been dumped. He'll set it right.

i used to pass by his house everyday in the 9th grade. Had a reputation for having quite a stinky house....didnt gather much respect for him unti i was introduced to his media consultant (good friend). Heard some great stories about him and gave his lyrics a chance finally. Still don't care for the voice much though.

I love the period right after he first went electric... the opening of "Like a Rolling Stone" is one of the most beautiful moments in rock history... there's a really interesting bio of him called "down the highway"

his first two albums were pure genius, after he got in that motorcycle accident i couldn't understand a word he said, he's had a few hit songs after that, but he's more nostalgic now and still can't hold a candle to willie nelson...

he's the guy that introduced The Beatles to marijuana therefore he's a good guy in my book. Also there's a live album from 1966 that takes place somewhere in the UK. Any way the first half is traditional Dylan folk, but after the intermission he plugs in and it pisses everyone off. You can even hear the crowd heckling him. Great album.

I have that one. It's the Royal Albert Hall. The second disk is quite electric. I think the man is one of the greatest of the 20th century. Still kicks ass Love and Theft and Time Out of Mind are his best since the 60s. My favorites are Highway 61, Blond on Blond, Bringing it All Back Home and John Wesley Harding...and don't forget the Basment Tapes.

I think he's brilliant and wonderful and rare...as is Townes Van Zandt.
I love Willie too...but Johnny Cash is my hero right now.

He is beyond critique by anyone, anywhere. Growing up I used to think that I could not understand him, but now that i listen to him I get every word. "Good as I been to you" was made in '92, when people would claim he was inaudible, and it is easy to understand. "Selfportrait" is much weirder than his raspy voice.
Every album is worth having!
