Genuine thoughts on this guy? Just now really getting into him.
>>73949857
hes good
He seems like a nice dude.
>>73949857
His best moments are some of my favorites in music, but I don't love his whole discography as much as some people do. I had a big Bob Dylan phase when I was younger but I don't revisit his stuff all that much
What have you listened to so far OP?
>>73949857
real cool guy OP
anyone who doesn't like him is a buttblasted /lit/fag
who's that
>>73949857
no one can agree whether he's a great poet or a hack and i think that's just how he'd like it
>>73949922
this desu
>His voice is too nasal. And it's like literature music. Quite boring three-chord structures serve as a bed for words. I'm too much of a music lover for that to happen.

i listened to blonde on blonde, blood on the tracks, highway 61 revisited, and bringing it all back home back in january. i don't think it really clicked at that point, but just revisited the latter two albums today and i'm really digging it now. favorite track at the moment is it's all over now baby blue.

i love both of their music, not really worth disliking her over
>>73950037
When did she say this?
>"I consider myself a poet first and a musician second."
>okay Bob well that explains the constant G-C-Em
>let's check out Tarantula, then
>it's a Rimbaud impression
>a full hundred years after Rimbaud
>it's not even an especially good Rimbaud impression
Think I'll stick to listening to musicians who specialize in music and reading poets who specialize in poetry. It's like eating at a bar then leaving to drink at a restaurant with Bob.

sh, the grown ups are speaking, go do some random shrieks for an audience of fags you irrelevant eskimo/hobbit mix

i'm extremely tempted to say that every fucking björk song for the past 20 years sounds the same but i suppose that would be highly ironic coming from a dylan nerd
>>73950384
it's a wonder that she still knows how to breathe
>>73950045
different anon here; freewheelin bob is the only album that's really clicked for me, for what it's worth
>>73950433
I can do a great impersonation of Bod Dylan
>>73949857
He's a Judas.
the byrds should have just been a straight dylan cover band
>>73950384
>but i suppose that would be highly ironic coming from a dylan nerd
...no it wouldn't. Time Out of Mind and Triplicate sound almost nothing alike other than the same general old-timey Americana backdrop, and even, it's a different kind of Americana on both albums.
Reminder that Dylan's best song of the last twenty five years has lines plagiarized from Henry Rollins' poetry.

If those are the albums that really clicked for you, consider giving this a listen too. It's a bunch of extra stuff from that same period like alternate takes, demos, and songs that just didn't find their way onto an album.

Listen to Blonde on Blonde some more. It's a bit of an obtuse album in terms of the lyricism and musical ideas but it's absolutely genius. It's the sort of album that's really worth revisiting; it's not really something one can fully appreciate with a single listen, it's something I've listened to a lot and everytime I listen to it I still find myself gripped by different moments and experiencing things in slightly different ways but the first few times I heard it, I didn't really appreciate how great it all is.
