Title: Bob Dylan.
Post by: kasperl on July 02, 2004, 12:49:56 pm: Well, I have been listening to a lot of Bob Dylan music, and I was wondering what others think of him.

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on July 02, 2004, 01:04:57 pm: Quite a good songwriter, but I can't abide his voice.

Donovan Leitch is far less irritating. (Bloke responsible for Mellow Yellow for ye uneducated types)

Post by: kasperl on July 02, 2004, 01:16:16 pm: "Everybody must get stoned" is the correct title, I believe....

Petrarch: Yeah, his singing isn't worth much, but the lyrics make up for that big time. To me, it's a refreshing change from "I love you" in endless different versions.

And before anyone makes a crack at that too..I'm listening to vivaldi right now (the fact that I've got Slayer lined up next on the playlist means nothing...:D)

Post by: Corsair on July 03, 2004, 12:12:41 am: Great songwriter. His voice is only so-so...

On the other hand, in English class last year we studied his lyrics for our poetry unit because my teacher likes his stuff so much. Best unit ever. :D

Post by: Setekh on July 03, 2004, 08:39:48 am: My dad loves him, so I've been raised on him. I value him most for his songwriting, he really had some awesome expression in that collection. As to the music, I can appreciate it, but I don't like it. :p

Post by: kasperl on July 03, 2004, 08:41:28 am: Well, anything recent from him is pretty awfull. After he had that bike crash he found God. Now, no offence to religious people, but gospel, I don't like it........

Post by: Flipside on July 03, 2004, 08:42:29 am: He can't sing, and I'm seen him do a run up the piano, reach the end and keep going beyond the piano till he fell off the piano stall once ;)

That said, he was the (somewhat off-key) voice of a generation, and a great songwriter, though I've not heard much of his recent work.
