Take your pick.

Morrissey

If all singer-songwriters read only half as many books as Dylan claims to have read in Chronicles, pop music would be tenfold superior to the shit you hear today on the radio.

He's among the best lyricists. I'd rate Townes Van Zandt and Leonard Cohen as about as good as Dylan.
Lyrics aren't poetry though. It's a fine artform, but poetry is different.

robert graves
housmann
r. s. thomas
etc.

good lord shut up

Leonard Cohen is superior to Bob Dylan. It's not even close.

Leonard Cohen shits on Dylan.

>If all singer-songwriters read only half as many books as Dylan claims to have read in Chronicles,
You know half the book is fiction and he heavily plagiarized the book. You can't be sure he read any of those books. He was trying to name philosophers in an interview and he couldn't think of any names but Plato lol.

Cohen is awful. He devolves into self parody most of the time and his actual music is boring as shit.

>plagiarized
No.

his actual music is boring as shit?

you've heard, what? one song? two? I listen to Cohen regularly. It's not boring. Famous Blue Raincoat, Suanne, Joan of Arc, Avalanche; not boring.

his voice isn't exactly pretty; but neither is Dylan's.

Nice job outing yourselr baiter man. Even the biggest Dylan fans disavow the plagiarism.

>not boring
Heh heh.

Just as Milton plagiarized the Bible.

want to hear this song i wrote i made it myself

Darkness at the break of noon
Shadows even the silver spoon
The handmade blade, the child's balloon
Eclipses both the sun and moon
To understand you know too soon
There is no sense in trying
Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
Suicide remarks are torn
From the fool's gold mouthpiece
The hollow horn plays wasted words
Proves to warn that he not busy being born
Is busy dying

LMAO

Dylan is a mediocre poet but a talented songwriter.
Cohen is a mediocre poet and a mediocre songwriter.

Frankly, I detest when you dunces do this. No, Bob Dylan is not a poet or a writer, he's a musician. It's like saying Dolph Lundgren is a chemical engineer, not an actor. It's very dishonest.

songwriting is not poetry

songs are (or can be) poetry, but it's different to traditional poetry. i don't think bob dylan is a poet, but someone like kanye west is.

this is going to get a lot of replies isn't it

nahh

What interview?

Retard

Was mistaken was at a concert. youtu.be/Dfc8VQvnCUk?t=100

One word: Yeats.
