Joanna Newsome? Maynard? I'm not picky. My point was that Tom Petty's career was essentially channeling Dylan ha. Winterland, oh the many faces of Dylan. In just 12 years he went from that to coked-up corpse paint Rolling Thunder Dylan: |

Oh, yeah, but I enjoy TP. Just can't handle Bob, outside of the Jimmy Fallon parodies. I feel like he's an inside joke that real music afficianados claim to like but really never listen to.
I feel the same way about Neil Young too, further hurt by his being from my least favorite country.

I listen to and love both with a passion. |

I admit I do not listen to Dylan very often but watching that early video shows his talent from a very young age. There are most definitely many big Dylan fans that listen to all of his material and often. I will work with one of his huge fans then go back and do some listening to albums I haven't really checked out. Have been lucky to work with some of the musicians who played on the Blood on the Tracks album and Bob's nephew who was somewhere between Bob and Jacob Dylan in style. There is no denying Dylan's influence on music from the Beatles and on. I can understand his voice not being everyone's taste though. Now Neil Young albums, Neil himself, I love and his voice. |

BOB DYLAAAAAN! |

I'm not really extolling Tom over Bob, just saying his voice is grating, but not impossible for me to listen to. Of this era, I'm really much more of a Lou Reed / VU, David Bowie and Iggy fan anyway. I just try to listen to Bob every few years, hoping it will stick like Scotch and really rare beef eventually did. But I'm still waiting.
Don't get me started on the Beach Boys Pet Sounds...

i've always found the weird/grating voices to be the ones i enjoy most. totally get why it isn't everyones cup of tea (or thingo of scotch - what is a standard unit of scotch anyway?), but i do wish more people i knew could dig the weirdness. but i guess that's why there are forums. for when the people you know don't like the same stuff as you.

Like it. Have a couple FJM albums. I'll have to give them a closer listen. That's quite the coat he's wearing in the parting shot.

oh. the videos seem to have embedded themselves automatically.
oh hey - happy thanksgiving everyone. not something we do in australia of course, but from what i can tell it seems to be an important time for families to get together. and there seem to be lots of "you hate your family and argue around the dinner table while you eat the turkey" jokes on television shows and the internet.
well i hope that you all have much better times than that.

R.I.P Scott Weiland
Too bad such talent sometimes has to come at such a high price.
Made great music and was a great frontman.
Was the real deal. Sorry you didn't get help. Hope others can learn from this and do.

I just try to listen to Bob every few years, hoping it will stick like Scotch and really rare beef eventually did. But I'm still waiting. Don't get me started on the Beach Boys Pet Sounds... You know what's funny about people who really love music? We all (or most of us) have at least one critical darling of an artist we just don't like. For me, it's The Clash. And this is coming from a guy who lived to go to punk shows in the mid to late 80's. I have heard all the reasons that they're a cornerstone of music, I realize what a dead on perfect assessment of then current conditions "This is England" was, but honestly, they bore the shit out of me. I've tried to like them many times, it's just not going to happen. Anyway I don't want to mess up a thread and go negative. I do enjoy a good conversation that might go against the grain occasionally though. On the flip side there are a few guilty pleasures I'll never cop to that are just utter crap (in the eyes of most people) |

That was a good read @scooter and I think that article touches on a good point. I commend the ex for being so honest and real. Sometimes people idolize and worship these guys and it's really quite silly.
