Oh yeah, I LOVE the beatles, I just think they are overrated.

Dylan sounds like pure crap to me. I don't think his lyrics are that inventive. The music is nothing extraordinary. I think Dylan was more a product of his times than anything. More and more people who try to get into Dylan hate his music. When I was in high school all the pothead kids loved him and would try to force feed me his music. The only song I have ever heard by him that I liked was wigwam. Just pure crap. I know no other way to put it. And if you look at the influence on music, what artist that has been primarily influenced by Dylan ever went on to do crap? The only one I can think of is Donovan, and he didn't achieve success until he ditched the whole Dylan thing and became a beatnik guru type and his music was more on par with the Beatles.
