That isn't objective. I don't like folk or rap so he's actually up there for me.

I often wonder if some of his lyrics are randomly thrown together words or actually meaningful phrases that have substance

>>69561908
not while based dylan is still alive

>>69562107

>>69564046

She's honestly so far above everyone else it's not even funny.

Even if you don't like her voice or other compositional aspects, you have to admit that her control of language is astounding.

eh

Reminder that Robert Zimmerman is still alive.

You forgot Nick Cave.

>>69564230
yep. in terms of quality in relation to density i.e. long songs that remain top tier in lyrics she is #1

for short songs with quality lyrics I would say Dylan or Van Zandt

>>69568199
I don't listen to Nick Cave. Where do I start?
