The Bob Dylan appreciation thread

art is either forward thinking and progressive, or it is backward looking and regressive and conservative

The obesssion with 'originality' in the modern era has produced vast amounts of meaningless crap.

I also believe that rock n roll / pop / whatever should be immediate, sonically interesting. Danceable aint bad either. Really not sure Dylan fits into any of those categories.

I think if Dylan as a folk singer / story teller who has used various different musical styles simply as tools. Sounds like he's just not for you.
