I agree that no one sounded like Bob Dylan

Extraordinary = irregular, unusual, etc. If no one else sounded like Bob Dylan how didn't he fit that definition? Him being extraordinary isn't an opinion. Saying you don't like him is.

Wow you are so cool and smart. So if I were to play a trumpet with my arse while I had diarrhea and burped through a harmonica it would be extraordinary. Thanks for clearing that up. With all your knowledge do you know who sounded like the Chipmunks before them? I must find this extraordinary music. Thanks in advance for any help.

Extraordinary=exceptional to a very marked extent

The extent is subjective , it didn't sound like he was from outer space

early dylan, guthrie rip-off
later dylan, rocker

Dylan was exceptional though, saying you don't like him and he gets too much credit okay but nothing sounded like Highway 61 Revisisted or Blonde on Blonde until Highway 61 and Blonde on Blonde.

Calling him a Guthrie rip off is a bit of stretch unless you're talking about just his first album in which case I agree with you though Woody was much more versatile than Dylan. Freewheelin/Times They Are A-Changin only sound like Woody in the sense that all folk sounded like Woody.

Fair enough

first album=guthrie ripoff

next couple=guthrie influence


Happy?

name some major influences he has had then, douchebag.

People say they listened to Dylan or liked Dylan, but no one tried to emulate him. And he was a pretentious nuts from the get go. Just because you like to jump on his nuts doesn't mean that he was good. Lot's of women like Oprah. That doesn't mean she is anything but a fat dumb wench.

You aren't even refuting anything.

Drop the insults or I'm banning you. Oh and by the way emulation isn't the same thing as influence smarts.

hmm I don't know if you can put out as many songs as Bob Dylan has and truly be overrated. He has maintained a relevance that almost discredits any critic. Most of us here have not even existed for as long as he has been known as a musician. Claiming something is overrated is purely opinion and should not be judged otherwise. shout anger shout. Thanks for not calling me crazy WaspStar.
