Bob Dylan

Probably the U.S.´s greatest white contemporary singer-songwriter. His long and varied career has rarely produced anything less than top quality. His lyrics are such that he is, thus far, rock music´s one and only Nobel Prize winner.

Not my favorite but he has made an impact lyrically and musically.

By general consensus the single greatest songwriter since the dawn of rock

Bob can possess uncanny wisdom, create a sound like how 2am feels, write a 2min pop gem or a 16min head scratcher, exhibit astonishing phrasing or sound like a dog coughing, follow the most astonishing words with a total clunker, and have you sometimes wondering if he’s still interested in the game. But he’s always fascinating.

My no.1 songwriter of all time.

Uncle Bob is the master and influencer.

There really not much to say. The music speaks for itself. Just listen to Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, and Blonde on Blonde. Then when you're finished with being blown away from those, go check out Blood on the Tracks. Some of the greatest albums ever recorded.

Favourite song: The Time They Are A-Changin'
Favourite album: Highway 61 Revisited

Most of his stuff isn't for me, but his lyrical prowess and influence are undeniable.

Probably my favourite artist for most of the time over the last 40 years or so. I have more albums by him than any other artist, but stopped buying adding to my collection after the 1980's. Seeing how highly some of his later releases are on this site I might have to start listening to some newer stuff.
