      It’s pretty metal though:

      “There’s a world outside your window
      And it’s a world of dreaded fear
      Where the only water flowing
      Is the bitter sting of tears
      And the Christmas bells that ring there
      Are the clanging chimes of doom”

      ok. story time. Had this friend of friend in highschool. Super stoner idiot type which was kinda funny because he hung out with our nerd group regularly (burnout/nerd crossover was surprisingly not uncommon). We are at a pizza hut with a jute box. Guy goes and puts some money in and is like. Oh man I saw this sound that sounds so cool. Hey Dude. He was very disapointed.

    For me, pretty much all of Bob Dylan’s production. I know he’s supposed to be a Nobel-Prize-winning genius singer and songwriter, and everybody is in total awe of his talent, but… honestly, I’ve seen people sing better and play the guitar better in the metro.

    I don’t dislike Bob Dylan, and his lyrics were a powerful product of his time. But he’s always seems very meh to me as a musician. I just don’t get the hype.

      He was important for the time when songs were political statements, not just money grabs like today. Don’t wait for a Taylor Swift “Fuck ICE” song anytime soon.

      But I hate how Boomer music is rammed down our throats and are told we have to love it. Fuck the Beatles.

      Bob Dylans entire thing is that he can’t sing and he knows it.

      Hes talked many times about how ridiculous it felt for him to be grouped with some of the greatest singers of all time when he was at award shows or other music stuff.

      Just look at his expression in the We Are The World music video:

      Confusion

        Folk music is not about singing or the tune, it’s just poetry to music.

      Bob Dylan was loved for his song writing. People didn’t love his voice or his playing, but they loved hearing him in spite of his voice because his songs meant so much.

      The most popular versions of his songs were often recorded by other folk groups.

      For him I think it was right time right place. How many bands/musicians could be transplanted to another time and still have success with the same music? Very few.

    Smells like teen spirit is one of those songs that you simply don’t listen to in your own time even if you’re a big Nirvana fan. If you listen to Nevermind, you start on track 2.
