1. Reasonable choices, I wouldn't argue with them.


2. Right, and by that definition, saying Dylan's the most prolific artist of modern times is wrong, even if you start from the sixties (the most prolific songwriter of the 1900's, at least in pop music (not too sure what the deal with classical would be) is probably Duke Ellington), there's at least one person (Frank Zappa) who's written way more music than Bob Dylan has. There're probably more, but I couldn't tell you for sure who they are, so I won't make any guarantees.
