Does anyone actually still like him?
He was good in between 1960-1980 but now he is a former shell of his self. His songwriting is weak compared to earlier work. His voice got worse over time.
>He will never top Blood on the Tracks or Blonde on Blonde
>>65843441
>Time Out of Mind
>Tempest
>Modern Times
>"weak"
Time Out of Mind, Love and Theft, [spoilers]Christmas in the Heart[/spoilers] and Tempest are all good to great albums.
Shadows in the Night and Fallen Angels are okay.
Modern Times and Together Through Life are trite.
His live shows are pretty shit, I'll give you that.
i think about him
>>65843441
yes I enjoyed time out of my mind, love and theft, and tempest a lot. Also he topped blood on the tracks with bringing it all back home
Who cares if the new stuff is bad, he made some great stuff and that's all it matters. You doon't have to listen to the bad stuff.
people respect him for that era. its not like we've forgotten. its the same with most old musicians
Dylan's actually been pretty smart about this with releasing "new" classic albums via the bootleg series.
Me.
Bringing it all back home and blonde on blonde are two of the few 10/10s
Heinous lies and bullshit in this thread. Dylan aged like wine.
>>65843766
tempest is also a 10/10 imho
Bob Dylan is still kicking it, and his songwriting puts most others to shame

i'll wait until you actually listen to the albums before i try to argue with you, k anon? :)

Wow summer sure came early this year
>>65843866
Show me another album with something like Highlands. Then show me one written and performed by a man almost in his 60s.
I was just thinking about listening to Tempest today. I don't listen to him much these days but he's still in my Top 5 Artists. And I actually enjoy 2000's Dylan the most of all the Dylan era's.
>>65843954
>And I actually enjoy 2000's Dylan the most of all the Dylan era's
>>65843866
That album (and pic related) were let down by Daniel Lanois's hack production, but the songs are excellent. Far from uninspired though, even if Love & Theft is the better album.
>>65843954
>And I actually enjoy 2000's Dylan the most of all the Dylan era's.
Every genuine Dylan fan realises this eventually.
>>65843866
You're just blatantly wrong here, pal. I get not liking it, but calling it uninspired is ridiculous. It's one of the most emotional albums he's made.
Most of you cucks in this thread only listen to Bob Dylan because you want to feel special. Fucking autist can't take critism of your favorite musician. At least the other fags have containment threads

/dylan/ general when?

Do you even know what that word means?
>>65843974
>Every genuine Dylan fan realises this eventually
this
his late 90s-2000s stuff is objectively the best of his career, all the parts fit together perfectly
>>65844061
Tempest and Shadows In The Night are exemplary as well.
>>65844017
and who do you listen to, anon?
>>65844017
He is one of the most popular and revered figures in music history, why would I feel special for loving him when so many others do?
>>65844017
Dylan threads have always been pretty Troll-proof.
>>65844096
Bowie
>>65844061
>>65844088
I mean sure, the albums flow together better than his 60s albums but there are still more individual standout tracks on the classic albums than there are on the modern ones.
I like the modern Dylan albums, just want to clarify that before we get at this. I just can't bring myself to say they're better than the stuff he's known for.

WTF are you talking about?

lol, what, his style itself is totally different from Dylan's. Nevermind that every Dylan album has lifted lines.

not going to read that, sure it's an epic win though. ;^)
>>65844760
are you trying to be this retarded
>>65844786
its epic cringe.
You mongs realize that Dylan has said his earlier albums are far superior, right? He has flat-out stated that his ability to make great music is gone. He has said that he made his best music when he was in his 20s.
Don't let the views of the artist himself or 99% of the music world affect you though. You're the smartest boy in the world, just like Mommy said.
>>65844523
Really? Because his style is just as influenced by Hank Williams and Lightnin' Hopkins as it is by Dylan. If you're going to get at it Dylan wouldn't have existed without Hank, Guthrie, Johnson or Little Richard. No artist is truly original.
I'd be here for days if I listed out each and every possible example of Dylan swiping something from somebody else. I'll just say this - Blowin' in the Wind has a melody lifted from No More Auction Block, Every Grain of Sand has lines lifted from William Blake and Chronicles is a collage of lines from other books. I respect Dylan as an artist, if you study how art was created before corporations made copyright the law of the land, you'll see Dylan's just doing what artists from other eras did. The fact stands that his catalog of work would be almost unrecognizable if Dylan had never taken something from somebody else and called it his own.
Here are some links:
http://dissidentvoice.org/2013/12/bob-dylan-and-plagiarism:
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/bob-dylans-greatest-lyrical-thefts-20110511
The books Song and Dance Man vol III: The Art of Bob Dylan and The Songs He Didn't Write: Bob Dylan Under the Influence go into very detailed depth about his.
You could argue that Dylan was simply working within the folk tradition and therefore not a plagiarist but then by the definition of tradition in relation to art he'd have to be derivative.
>>65844601
Hey bud, Scaruffi thinks your Bowie is the most overrated solo artist of the rock era.
>>65844905
Dylan also didn't think Blind Willie McTell was worth releasing when it was the best song he wrote during the 80s. Who gives a shit about what Dylan thinks of his own art
>>65844905
he also said he was never a protest singer and that blood on the tracks was not a personal album, your point?

You don't seem to understand how the folk tradition works.
>>65845357
I do completely. I even put a little tidbit at the end of that post. The fact that Dylan willingly followed a derivative method of creating art doesn't negate the fact that it was derivative.
And Chronicles was straight up plagiarism, he took lines from old Time magazine articles.
>Chronicles, p. 88:
>Some women wanted to be called ‘a woman’ when they reached twenty-one. Some sales girls, or women, didn’t want to be referred to as ‘salesladies.’ In churches, too, things were shaking up. Some white ministers didn’t want to be labeled ‘the Reverend.’ They wanted to be called just plain ‘Reverend.’
>Time, Friday, Mar. 31, 1961: “The Press: The Reporter’s Guide”
>The Los Angeles Times, concluding that all women aren’t ladies, ungallantly applies its conclusion: ‘A salesgirl or a saleswoman is not a saleslady, and a washerwoman is not a washlady, so a scrubwoman cannot be a scrublady… …In the Memphis Commercial Appeal if a minister is white, he is ‘the Rev.,’ if Negro he is simply ‘Rev.’
>Chronicles, p. 127:
>“I bought a red flower for my wife, one of the loveliest creatures in the world of women.”
>R. L. Stevenson, Providence and the Guitar, Complete Short Stories of Robert Louis Stevenson, p. 203:
>As Leon looked at her, in her low-bodied maroon dress, with her arms bare to the shoulder, and a red flower set provocatively in her corset, he repeated to himself for the many hundredth time that she was one of the loveliest creatures in the world of women.
>Chronicles, p. 63:
>“He didn’t need to say much—you knew he had been through a lot, achieved some great deed, praiseworthy and meritorious, yet unspoken about it.”
>Jack London, White Fang, p. 298:
>“He carried himself with pride, as though, forsooth, he had achieved a deed praiseworthy and meritorious.”
>>65843495
Saw him in 2010 and it was fucking terrible. I do like his Christmas album though.
>>65845494
>>65845532
I really don't care about that at all.
>>65844601
I know this is bait but it'd still make me happy if you shot yourself in the head.
And you know what? Dylan himself apparently isn't okay when people use the folk tradition to lift from his works - the latest addition to the Bootleg Series was to keep the copyright on all those non-album old recordings from going to the public domain and Dylan's taken Hootie and the Blowfish to court for lifting lines from him (I know that you like many other Dylan fans are going to take the hypocritical stance that since it's Hootie and the Blowfish you don't care, but that doesn't change the fact that he's saying it's alright when he does but not when anybody else does). If he was such a student of the folk tradition neither would've come to pass.
Dylan is the owner of all of his songs btw, so it's indisputable that he was the one to file the suit against Hootie and the Blowfish.
>>65845630
he's jewish, what did you expect?
