>>74208868
Mac DeMarco

>>74208955
modern indie is infinitely better than dylan

Nah, he's one of the only artists that deserves his fame. Literally no one writes songs the way he does.

I don't even think he was pretentious in the 60's. It was when everybody began to suck his dick and circlejerk him and in the 70's and 80's began to be pretentious

>>74208994
yeah, i don't know anyone else whose music is so fucking boring that it makes me fall asleep

It's understandable to not appreciate Bob Dylan if you're younger than like 22 or so

>>74208868

Pink Floyd

Wu Tang Clan

Radiohead

>>74209020
Then listen to some metal or rap, it's loud and obnoxious unlike folk music. It's sure to keep you awake.

>>74208974
Wrong

I think his earlier work is overrated for sure, but with records like Bring It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde On Blonde, Blood On The Tracks, etc. basically the ones with the larger arrangements, his music became a lot more engaging for the listener.

>>74208974
kill yourself

Bob Dylan is my favorite singer songwriter. I'm truly sorry some of you autistic faggots have convinced yourselves he sucks because you are really missing out.

>>74208868
Is he overrated? Everyone who listens to him loves him and everyone who doesn't, hates him. That seems pretty good.

It's not like The Beatles where people have to bend over backwards to defend generic garbage, Bob Dylan has plenty of his work that is looked down on by his biggest fans, nobody claims everything he shits out is gold but he was also hugely prolific so the amount of good he had is more than most people output any music at all.

And, though it's something pretty much every language or country has, for the US he was THE hugely important cultural figurehead for progress, even though he didn't like it and he inspired basically all the relevant artists people cared about for the next few decades,

>>74208868

He's really interesting if you're a guitar player.

I could see why non-musicians/ casual listeners would find him boring tho

>>74209281
>It's not like The Beatles where people have to bend over backwards to defend generic garbage
It doesn't actually matter but for the record, I mean that people will defend every little thing they did from a random cover or unheard bootleg as being gold directly from god himself, like all their albums appear on best albums of all time lists when they're not but Dylan's fans are more reasonable about the fact they aren't all equal efforts

>>74209281
>It's not like The Beatles where people have to bend over backwards to defend generic garbage
You have a lot to learn

>>74209144

I downloaded Highway 61 Revisited as it was supposed to be one of the best albums ever made and every after Like a Rolling Stone is just so fucking boring, uninspired and repetitive you might as well turn it off and listen to birds chirping. I'm not saying it's bad music, I'd be perfectly ok sitting in a bar where it plays, but there's absolutely nothing there to write home about.

>>74209602
>the greatest song of all time is boring, uninspired and repetitive
Cool down with those opinions dude

Anyway, Highway 61 Revisited is the sing-along album, it's the most fun to listen to as you walk to work and sing every song as loud as you can

>>74209602
You might like Blonde On Blonde and Blood On The Tracks better then. Those albums are where the arrangements get more interesting. I wrote that post you replied to, and even I'll admit that BITBH and HW61R are kinda boring to me, too.

what the fuck? he's not a jazz artist OP

>>74212519
He did accept it, he just didn't feel like going to a shitty public awards show circle jerk.

>>74212751 That's what I said. Acting like you are above personally accepting what is probably the bigest price a human can recive is pretentious.

>>74208868

>>74212918
But the award ceremony is pretentious, saying that he deserves a literary award more then actual literature writers is pretentious. So by choosing not to go to an ceremony where everyone will be stroking his ego is the opposite of pretentious.

>>74213518
I like both

I liked highway 61 but hated blonde on blonde
Which album should i listen to next

>>74214368
Bringing It All Back Home

Reminder that Dylan has been accused of plagiarism at every point of his career.

neck yourself

>>74208868
early folk dylan was really great but this meme of him being the tupac of singer song writers need to stop. hes great but no one deserves to be dick rode THAT much.

>>74215037
Literally every modern singer-songwriter is somehow influenced by him though.

>>74209602
>Like a rolling stone

>>74208868
Captain Beefheart

>>74215037
>the tupac of singer song writers

Let's not go overboard here, Dylan isn't anywhere near as talented as Tupac. Dylan's probably never even shot anyone.

>>74209020

i thought /mu/ grew out of this phase?

>>74215114

I'm sure that's why Dylan has a nobel prize :^)

>>74215076
>artist is influential af
>therefore....

cmon senpai

>>74214167
There is quite literally no response to winning the nobel prize that wouldn't have been pretentious in someone's eyes.

>>74215076
name one artist influenced by dylan

>>74215185
This fucking post was pretentious, kill yourself faggot

>>74215194
Lou Reed, Johnny Cash (Understand Your Man is a rip off of It Ain't Me), Johnny Cash, Sly and the Family Stone, Minutemen, Jimi Hendrix.

>>74215194
John Lennon

>>74215194
Every single folk/folk-rock band of the 60's and 70's and all the indie-folk bands of today.

>>74215230
Sonny and Cher's I Got You Babe is also a rip-off of It Ain't Me Babe.

>Dylan is considered a seminal influence on many musical genres. As Edna Gundersen stated in USA Today: "Dylan's musical DNA has informed nearly every simple twist of pop since 1962."[470] Punk musician Joe Strummer praised Dylan for having "laid down the template for lyric, tune, seriousness, spirituality, depth of rock music."[471] Other major musicians who acknowledged Dylan's importance include Johnny Cash,[472] Jerry Garcia,[473] John Lennon,[474] Paul McCartney,[475] Pete Townshend,[476] Neil Young,[477] Bruce Springsteen,[101] David Bowie,[478] Bryan Ferry,[479] Nick Cave,[480][481] Patti Smith,[482] Syd Barrett,[483] Joni Mitchell,[484] Tom Waits[485] and Leonard Cohen.[486] Dylan significantly contributed to the initial success of both the Byrds and the Band: the Byrds achieved chart success with their version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" and the subsequent album, while the Band were Dylan's backing band on his 1966 tour, recorded The Basement Tapes with him in 1967,[487] and featured three previously unreleased Dylan songs on their debut album.[488]

The singer-songwriter figure already existed in folk, country and blues music before Dylan but Dylan's the one who cemented it into a single genre.
