Definetly not "rich kids"; ****in Hippies can't hold down a job...

One can only hope that you'll see the light someday...

Are you one of those picky eaters that decides he doesn't like certain kinds of food, even if he has never tried it?

hehe, don't get me started on food.

I won't be eating snails or fish eggs anytime soon.

I could make another thread *****ing about music, but I won't.

I'll just post this link here.

Really. I've worked since I was 14. I'm 52 now.
What else the hell do you have to try and say?

I tend to have a few drinks with my apolyton, so probably my point was not entirely clear...

That was intended as a joke at the expense of Dylan's fanbase ( which if you can't tell includes me) , not at you personally Sloww...

BTW I'm only 32, but I've been working since 11 ...

Make the thread! I'd back you on that one.

Dylan is not a vocalist. I don't think you'd find anyone with a brain cell left who would claim he was, or ever was; but the fact remains, he could and can tell a story.

no I'm not joking, his music sounds like crap. worse singer ever. I can acknowledge his lyrical contribution, but that's the extent of it. I will never own a Dylan mp3, I won't even go through the trouble of illegally downloading it.

Excluding all of the most important points that make Bob Dylan "Bob Dylan", his voice is unique. You may not appreciate it, and there's nothing wrong with that IMO, but I'd suggest that the character of his voice adds a subtle 'flavor' to the words that even brilliant singers such as Baez couldnt capture.

McCartney still sang beautifully, but his songs hardly ever really SONGS, rather than showcases for his (amazing) voice and musical ability.

Puh.

McCartney wrote yesterday. McCartney wrote Eleanor Rigby.

Don't forget that Dis is a metal head. If you ask him, he'll tell you that a good singer is one who sounds like a demon or a monster when he sings

Hah! Yesterday is just another McCartney silly lovesong. Even my mother liked it way back then. Did McCartney ever wrote songs like And Your Bird Can't Sing or Tomorrow Never Knows? I thought not.

McCartney was the one who did the experimenting with tape loops that eventually turned into Tomorrow Never Knows. ZOMFG, Lennon worshippers pwned again!!!

In describing the yet-unreleased Revolver album, Paul credits himself with making the strange tape loops that would be used on the recording 'Tomorrow Never Knows.' This is confirmed by Beatles studio engineer Geoff Emerick - who, in writings and interviews, agrees that these tape loops were made at home by Paul, who then excitedly brought them into the studio for everyone to hear during the very early stages of the album project.

That may be but it is still a song that never could have been written by Paul "Silly Lovesongs" McCartney. So I fail to see where the "pwnd" comes in.
