Niagara Bill Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 A reluctant icon. Dylan had such a huge effect on the world and yet many of the people who claim to loved him, what he stood for and the need for peace today 50 yrs later show no understanding. Could not sing, could hardly play, but could be heard and understood. If you like the Band...watch Once Were Brothers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree with all of this... he was for sure a good harmonica player and decent when he played guitar. Love the guy other than his first album all the way to the Blood on the Tracks/Desire albums... I kind of left it at that. Nashville Skyline is to me the Byrds Sweetheart of the Rodeo version of his, only with studio musicians. Have never seen Once Were Brothers... I'll look it up on youtube if its there.

Bferra13 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) Kinda overrated for this 38 year old music lover. Change my mind. I see him as more of a poet than a musician (obviously talented though there too). I think hes kind of a product of his time. I like a few tunes of his though like tangled up in blue and just like a woman. Edited May 25, 2020 by Bferra13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeviF Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I find Dylan to be generally not That Good. Except for Blood on the Tracks. Great album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T&C Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 A lot of people weren't happy when he went electric back in the 60's... the times they were a changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Toll Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 For me, I’ve always been more about the music than the message or story... so Dylan has never really been someone I gravitate to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 "I'm first among equals Second to none The last of the best You can bury the rest" Bob Dylan, False Prophet Sorry, Mick. Sorry, Macca. What an album! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I agree a bit w/ the posters saying overrated. But it's hard to overstate his influence. He inspired a lot of artists to go well beyond "moon in June" type of lyrics, and he brought a real attitude & honesty to the music world at that time. And I do love some of the early stuff. "Freewheelin'" is a great record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When someone says Dylan is "overrated", I just nod politely, realizing they don't know what they are talking about. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on #4 , but I did play False Prophet and Black Rider a lot more on repeat in the car. Key West is playing right now, another great one, love the whole thing.

The Dean Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I know I blasted Bob's last big release. But I should have considered the guy's age. Anyway, he's clearly one of the all time greats. Happy Birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last song on the album if you don't count MMF, just epic, I wish I was in Key West right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last song on the album if you don't count MMF, just epic, I wish I was in Key West right now. Believe it or not, I've NEVER been to the southern keys, let alone Key West. Back when I was in grad school and bartending at the Youngstown Yacht Club, a bar owner from Key West offered me a job two years in a row. (I know, drunk bar owners offer jobs all the time and then don't come through.) But like I said, i was in school and so couldn't test the offer. I hope to get down there shortly after things get to a point where I feel safe traveling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
