They just served the same purpose and had the same impact contextually. It's all relative.

I also don't think Nirvana were better than Pixies, but that's for a different thread.

And it's a toss up between The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, The Basement Tapes and Blood on the Tracks!
youre right, they are nothing alike. I never said they were. I was agreeing with the point you made in the previous post, that they both spoke to a generation.

As for my favorite Dylan album, I dont even know. The Freewheelin and Blood on the Tracks are a couple of my favorites. But I would place New Morning and Planet Waves higher than them, they just might be my 2 favorites.
