okaycuckoo Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Not sure what the point was. Couldn't flip channels. Anyway, Dylan's popularity is a mystery to me. Like the Rolling Stones. A few good songs, badly sung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little fish Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 This is fun... not the biggest Dylan fan there is but I like the songs that everybody knows. And I know the words too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okaycuckoo Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I think you either get Dylan or you don't, much like Marmite I guess. Yeah, I've heard that before. But I think music is complex and has lots of influences, so the celeb/genius thing seems blah (some exceptions for classical). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few good songs, badly sung. I also cant flip channels and also dont get the point. Some of Dylan's stuff is OK but I never got the whole ZOMG Bob Dylan!!!11!!!!ONE! thing. He is a slightly quirky folk singer. Big deal. The Rolling Stones on the other hand are a seriously good rock and roll band. Which reminds me, I need to buy a stones album to go with the George Thorogood album I just bought. George Thorogood is my role model. "I drink alone, with nobody else". Man. That just speaks to me!..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think music is complex and has lots of influences, so the celeb/genius thing seems blah (some exceptions for classical). The thing I like about Dylan personally is how much of his stuff is so quote-able - you can find a line for pretty much any occasion if you know his songs well. I also find a lot of his tunes seriously catchy. Whether that makes him in any sense great we'll only find out long after I'm dead and buried though!

That just speaks to me!..... As a counter, the Stones and the Beatles don't really do anything for me - I can see logically that they're good in all sorts of ways, their stuff just doesn't grab me. George Thorogood is great though. B-b-b-b-bad to the bone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blobloblob Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 If you can't change channel then there's not much point. I can and I think it's my favourite music video ever, and I don't even like Dylan* * The sound of his voice; he's written some good songs but they're only good as cover versions.

porca misèria Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Not sure what the point was. Couldn't flip channels. Anyway, Dylan's popularity is a mystery to me. Like the Rolling Stones. A few good songs, badly sung. He's of his time. Ghastly voice, ghastly man, but came to embody the Zeitgeist of a generation. Like the equally-ghastly Sinatra from a generation up. I once heard Simon and Garfunkel described as a musical version of Bob Dylan. Seems fair to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happily renting Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Great, lived-in voice, and prolific as hell. I could listen to him all day without even touching on his better known songs. Don't like marmite though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the equally-ghastly Sinatra from a generation up. Like many things, you need to understand the context. Many of the current generation dismiss the Beatles and on a musical level that could be understandable, but if you consider the context and where they came from the reputation is well deserved even if their music is not for you.

cica Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Good tune but yeah overrated as hell. The Beatles did a lot of albums and also did a lot of tripe but when they wrote multiple songs that are amazing. Those early songs of The Beatles are special especially I want to hold your hand - crazy chords and melodies. Jimi Hendrix is another one that is overrated as hell. A giant in the history of electric guitar but not a musical genius. Put together a couple of good songs, made the guitar sound more like a musicians instrument with the fat bluesy chords done with thumb and fingers and showed how far you could put an amplified guitar.

My first album was Move it on Over from 78 or 79 I think. He's still touring. Agree with others. If you don't 'get' Dylan you'll never like him. If you like him you'll probably love him. I was 5 years too young first time around, so came to him later. Same with Leonard Cohen. I don't know why people are jealous of boomers property, quite honestly it's their music they ought to lust after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC1 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Fantastic, really clever;. And I do love Bob Dylan, I guess you would have to be there to understand it. Not necessarily - I wasn't, but my parents were, so maybe by proxy...? I never used to 'get' Dylan, and openly mocked people who did, taking the piss out of his nasal droning voice..... But then something weird happened, I actually took the time to listen to his stuff without being a smug judgemental pr1ck, and lo and behold, I was smitten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wash your mouth out! Did you ever hear his blues album? Several old-time bluesmen commented that he was up there with the world's best blues players... Bringing it back on-topic, his versions of All Along the Watchtower and Like a Rolling Stone are stone cold classics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
