(Aug 31 07, 06:07)is a shame dylan gets lumped in with all that hippe dippy bullshit.
he's as essential as thelonious monk (to the canon of american music).

Dylan is as about as essential as anyone in the 20th century. If you want a decade to be over, how about the one with the polyester leisure jackets and the Bee Gees?

Oddly enough I'm probably the only person in this thread actually born in the 60's...

the 60s saw some of the greatest cultural output there was. though nostalgia, like boredom, is always counter revolutionary.

Oh no, I'm going to say it: Bob Dylan is overrated. Yikes. I know, blasphemy, but, Dylan is just very one-note. He had one admittedly good idea, but beat it like a dead horse, sometimes within the same song. I can't tell you how many Dylan recordings would be substantially improved if at least 10 of the 30 verses were removed. Also – and I'll admit this isn't a problem with Dylan per se – but critics tend to be so enamored of him as An Important Artist, so head-over-heels, that they're completely blind to the mediocrity of most of his later work, a lot of which sounds like watered-down Budweiser blues sung by a chain-smoking, mummified old man. OK, let the flaming begin!
- I'll be the first to counter that. Have you heard his last 2 recent albums including the one about to come out? Have you ever seen any of the documentaries? The dude is a total baddass.peddy28isgreat

He's the one iconic music figure who's face I'd have tattooed on my body.
