Music isn't always art and doesn't always need to be forward thinking and progressive. To me Dylan has been a soundtrack to my life and I hear, feel, interpret earlier songs differently as I change .
There is always avant guard music at the cutting edge using new ideas sound instruments and that is one function of music and art. Other functions include dance, romance, protest and anger, joy, depressions, expression of emotions through music and much more.
Dylan, unlike many old rockers hasn't relied on his back catalogue to entertain but often broken the mould and lost fans with each new era. I suppose as an artist he doesn't give a damn whether or not people like what he does but is compelled. To be honest I struggle with his latest stuff, the Sinatra covers though respect his right to piss me off.
PS I can and do dance to lots of Dylan tracks
