Ok I've given my opinions on Bob Dylan often enough but I can't resist if you take the 1966 live recordings as an example, some of them are among my favourite music. Like hearing it for the first time was a revelation. To me both the lyrics and music are important, but the music more so, and i think the whole Poet pedestal Dylan is put on overrates him (and is also unfair to him; he can't compete with a great poet but there are other things he has to offer)
