1. Who the fuck is babyface, and Paula Cole?

2. Bill Dylan? Dumb ass Usher, what little respect I had for Usher just went through the window. I'm sure I know more about the roots of his music ( Jazz ) than he does.

3. There are maybe 100 artist all time that surpass the music industry itself. I think Dylan and Radiohead are in that group.

[GenesisKnights]

Awesome. One of his very greatest, meaningful albums.

[vedderfan94]

Absolute fucking genius. Those three words sum up Bob Dylan's career for me.

@alwayswinit4real It bothers me that Radiohead still doesn't get the respect from the general public that they deserve, but that is their style; they are low key. Radiohead is my favorite band, and in my opinion they were without a doubt robbed here, but like Thom, I could give less of a shit about the grammy's. 20 years form now Radiohead will be remembered as being so far ahead of their time it isn't even funny, and will end up in most experts top 10's if they know music.

@alwayswinit4real This debate made me happy because it wasn't a bunch of un-educated 3 year old's yelling at each other. Bob Dylan is in my opinion the best lyricist of all time, and his folk music goes with his style perfectly. Was he revolutionary? Well he had a profound impact on the beatles, and on a side note introduced them to drugs (imagine if they has never taken drugs) but that is besides the point. Bob Dylan is a legend, and so are Radiohead.

@dionusos2 No problem. It's always nice to be meet someone civil on Youtube.

[dionusos2]

@alwayswinit4real Point taken. Thanks for your cordial manner of debating. It's virtually absent from Youtube.

[alwayswinit4real]

@dionusos2 By "musically-revolutionary", I'm simply referring to their respective use of instrumentals.

Dylan was a pure lyricist. His musical arrangements were average, and his voice has always been an "acquired taste". But his lyrics make his music what it is.

[alwayswinit4real]

@dionusos2 Well personally, I would say that the Lost Generation have had a far larger cultural/social impact than the Beat Generation.

The likes of Fitzgerald and Hemingway trump Kerouac and Ginsberg all day long IMO. But we're splitting hairs.

If you don't like Dylan, what can I say? People like what they like. The fact that you prefer The Doors and The Beatles to Dylan perhaps suggests that you respect artists who are more "musically-revolutionary".

[dionusos2]

@alwayswinit4real I repeat, a cultural paradigm shift would have happened with or without Dylan. It's why the beatniks are so well regarded, because of their influence on culture. Yet we wouldn't say their writing was better than that of the Lost Generation merely because the latter didn't have the same cultural/social impact. I think Dylan is the most overrated rock musican of that era, IMO. The Doors were revolutionary, and not merely because they bucked the counter-culture fashions.

[alwayswinit4real]

@dionusos2 Dylan is the most respected lyricist in the history of music... What more needs to be said?

For the record, I'm not talking about this album. OK Computer was plainly the best album of that bunch, and I agree that they were robbed. I'm talking about overall impact. Dylan's music in the 60's and 70's is on a different level to anything Radiohead have ever done IMO.

[dionusos2]

@alwayswinit4real yes, elvis, dylan and the beatles (the best of those three) had social/cultural impacts that outweigh radiohead's. But that's only because there were social movements already in motion when they hit the scene. Radiohead appeared during the apathetic slacker generation. But we don't go by seniority nor by impact. We go by the quality of music. Radiohead was robbed. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to get off Dylan's nuts because they're ready to fall off
