You got a deaf ear man!!! Just kidding. I never ever debate with anyone who tells me Dylan can't sing. I only get roused when they say he has no talent. Anyone who says that Dylan or Young have no talent, I say they don't know anything about music or art. You may not like them, but you cannot deny their talent. Ken |

I would have to say Bob Dylan as a singer and songwriter. There is just something about Dylan I have always connected with!

Dylan. Martin Sexton? He's great but not close to the same league in terms of writing. He may be a better guitar player though, and he's got a great voice. I'm all for Leonard Cohen.

Tough choice...though I agree with the other posts as to who has the most annoying voice .
Actually, there is something intriguing about both of their styles. Their respective songwriting talents are beyond question. Vocally, they both have a very strange quality that actually sort of draws you in. From a guitarist standpoint...each has their quirks. Young is extremely "sloppy" and inconsistent. Dylan really doesn't market himself as much of a guitarist in the technical sense. More of a rhythm guy that injects a few interesting fills from time to time. For me..it would be a tie between the two.

I listen and appreciate Dylan more than Young, myself... My brother is very much a Dylan fan - even named his first born Dylan... As for their voices, I like their unique styles, and the voices of other "unique" and easily identifiable (yet maybe not technically great) singers... I am drawn to these types of voices.
I really have to say that... Whether as a compliment or a critique, my own voice has been compared to Dylan by many folks. Yeah... But at least no one has ever said - "Man that sucked, you sound just like Bob Dylan"... At least not yet! Devin

Well yeah, I think we're splittin' hairs -- they are both incredible artists and very influential, but I think Dylan influencing music heavily has been waning since the early 80's. The Seattle music scene, much of the California Rock sound, the recent acoustic revival -- Neil has had a major impact on emerging artists since the 90's. I get around a ton of young bands as the owner of a recording studio. Nearly all of them traces some of their influences to NY. Plus consider the sheer amount of musicians who have emerged in the 90's and 00's. The growth has been exponential. Until very recently Dylan has been dormant -- at least in a commercial way. Young has been churning out some of the best material of his career and young (no pun intended) artists are definitely soaking it in. max |

I think you may be right on influence. Dylan, more past than present. Talent? They both have it -- and lots of it. I still believe Dylan is the more prolific of the two and will have a greater ranking when history writes its final chapter on the two. But getting back to the original question, it was "who do you like more." I would have to say Dylan by one horse length. Ken |

i like them both about the same. i really like dylan's first couple albums, my favorite is the one where he and the chick are walking down a gvillage back street, old volkswagon on the side parked? and i like the album he recorded using the J45N(J50). great tone for a guitar....ideal in my book....
neil always one of my all time favorites, acoustic or electric, that guy wrote some fun tunes, and very cool. "campaingor" my favorit all time of his stuff. for dylan, favorite all time is north contry girl. makes me cry....well, almost....but that counts!

[Still enjoying my H&D OM-C ~ Thanks, Jeff!!] Between Dylan and Young (sounds like a law firm), I think Bob Dylan was/is "more important" socially but that Neil Young is a "more talented musician," instrumentally speaking at least. Dylan's voice makes me wonder. . . Young's voice makes me wonder, but not as much. . . Not really Apples and Oranges ~ more like Tangelos and Kumquats |

Bringing It All Back Home Highway 61 Revisted Blond On Blond Blood On the Tracks Of course, to the Dylan fan, these 5 only scratch the surface, but they are kind of the recommended staples to someone who is looking for a place to start. I would add "Time Out of Mind" and "Modern Times" to that list myself. Dylan has re-invented himself with his last 3 releases. Ken |
