Bob Dylan is vastly overrated. In fact, I don't think anyone honestly likes his "music." I just think they claim to like it because it is hip to do so.

That is all.

Great songwriter, but it's painful to listen to him. The only song I can stand to listen to where he's singing is "Lay Lady Lay." But there are some pretty great covers of Dylan songs, like "If Not for You" on George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass."

Cause I've been working since 9 a.m. today and just got done so my brain's fried. Or maybe it was the acid I dropped while listening to Jimi. Would never ignore him intentionally; not that anyone could.

On his songwriting prowess alone, you cannot say he's overrated.

On his influence on The Beatles, Johnny Cash and roots rock, you cannot say he's overrated.

On his influence on The Hawks (The Band), you cannot say he's overrated.

On his influence in the civil rights movement, you cannot say he's overrated.

Heck, on his voice, you cannot say he's overrated...because no one has ever claimed his voice was great.

Dylan was a good lyricist, I'll give him that; but his iconic status is wholly due to the political attitudes of the 1960's and 1970's.
There's so much better 'music' out there, and, if you want a political tinge to your audio, try Bob Marley (or, better, vocally, Jimmy Cliff (esp 'Sitting here in Limbo'). Virtually anything by The Clash out 'angers' Dylan. And, if dyspeptic acoustic guitar is your gig, Leroy nailed it with Neil Young. (Nothing like having a proper mind-set on a summer's day and being down by the lake with a Cinnamon Girl.)

Harvest pwns anything Stills put out, and CSN&Y pwns anything CS&N ever put out.

To me Dylan is just a neutral. Great lyricist, terrible voice.

Fleetwood Mac? Loved their older stuff (look up "Oh Well" on utoob and tell me that **** doesn't rock) but they went all stupid when they brought in Stevie Nicks. However, Lindsay Buckingham is a very good guitarist.

U2? Meh. Everything sounds the same. How about a ****ing guitar solo or something?

Homey, my friend, you are certainly entitled to your opinion on Bob Dylan, but you are not qualified to tell me mine. To tell me you think I only enjoy something because it is "hip" is downright rude.

Taste is an individual thing, so I can understand a person not liking something. However, I have never understood why, simply because one don't care for it, that person feels the need to insult others who do.

For example, Guinness was referenced above. Now, I personally think people who drink pale American lager swill like Budweiser either have woefully untrained tastebuds or just enjoy the taste of p*ss. However, I will never say to such a person "You don't really like your crappy beer, you just drink it so you can be like all the other NASCAR trash" because that would be presumptuous.

Bob Dylan's songs (the ones his fans consider to be truly great) have to be viewed in context of the time of release. That so much of his work has been released by other artists as hits is a testament to Dylan's genius.

For me, Dylan's only failing was his attempts during the 80's to change his image from folk-rock storyteller supreme to something else (and there were several of these, all forgettable if not regrettable). I was glad he managed to get it right again when he was in The Traveling Wilburys.

These are my faves and most of them charted for Dylan and another artist (Stones, Hendrix et al)

So many great songs. For me I'd add: "Most likely..." and "Leopard-skinned pillbox hat" And, I know these are "newer" albums but I can't get enough of the entire "Love and Theft" album, or "Modern Times" for that matter.

I let my wife know about 5 years ago that I will see Dylan everytime he plays in OK until he dies or I do. So far so good.

it seems most people associate dylans music with stuff he released in the early-mid 60's. as a dedicated dylan listener since college, i think his best stuff came in the 1970's. it's like two different artist. his jesus experiment in the 1980's was a bust. and "time out of mind" in 1997 is wonderful. i'll submit "blood on the tracks" for any of you clowns that think dylan is overrated. and how could any self respecting okie not at a minimun, appreciate dylans loyalty to woody.

Waaaaaaa? If it wasn't for grunge you would have been stuck with Michael bolton and MC Hammer for half of the nineties.

Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, Nirvana, PJ, ....etc. You crazy man.

You listed four bands, how about Beck, Metallica, Snoop, Dre, Guns and Roses, Beastie Boys, Dave Mathews,....etc. no one that lived through the 90s buys what your selling. You crazy man.

Meh.

These bands really had no effect on MC Hammer or Michael Bolton -- different audiences. If anything they affected the hair bands more than anything else. I don't see much gain there. It really wasn't until Korn and Tool came around that metal improved.

I also like Korn and Tool.

I also like all those listed.

I guess point taken, but anyone who doesn't like the Seattle groups BE CRAZY MAN.

Actually didn't mind them myself. The God Shuffled his Feet album was pretty damn good.

Ahem. Crash Test Dummies.


Put down Fields of the Nephilim in the underrated category (at least in the U.S.).

Also, remember Graham Parker? He was excellent. Too bad Mercury Records stifled his career.

2 thumbs up. Add Alice in Chains, and the greatest band of all time, Pearl Jam. Not to mention the Foo Fighters.

Pearl Jam is still producing good stuff. They are one of the few to survive to talk about it. They put on great shows.

I agree.

haha. Yeah, I threw that in there to test the waters. My wife likes him.

I'll add some more 90s: Morphine, Air, Coolio, Warren G, RHCP, 2Pac.

I almost forgot: Put Gary Numan in the vastly underrated category. The dude is total badass and his recent albums rock! Love that darkwave.

I'm trying to appeal to the masses. You saw my dmb post earlier. Morphine and air more than make up for Coolio.
