Björk disses Bob Dylan

>I’ve never really gotten into him. His voice is too nasal. And it's like literature music. Quite boring three-chord structures serve as a bed for words. I'm too much of a music lover for that to happen.

Is she right?

She's right, there's literally no reason for a foreign person to like Bob Dylan, it's music for anglospeakers, i say this as a hispanic guy

Absolutely. And not even that good of a songwriter either. Leonard Cohen is that god of songs people say Bob Dylan is.

How so? What's the difference if your english is good enough to read poetry, Paco?

true more of a poet or lyricist than songwriter. id rather read his lyrics than listen to his music

what a cunt

based crone

Bjäsed.

im hispanic too and i love bob dylan lol

Just like with Joni Mitchell's comments, she is absolutely correct in her characterization, and Bob Dylan is still the single greatest popular musician of all time

shes right

this can any of you fully appreciate an Icelandic folk singer?

She's wrong and anyone who agrees with her will suffer an obscure and particular yet painful fate.

Not a big bjork fan but she's right. Dylan's music is all about the lyrics - politics when he was young and stories/characters when he grew up. If you're an activist or lover of narrative songs, then Dylan is for you. If you're more interested in melody, harmony, rhythm, timbre, atmosphere, or really any other aspect of music, then he's a snoozefest.

Yet her favorite album is Hejira by Joni Mitchell, which is just Joni mumbling words on top of repetitive music
Also she praises Joanna Newsom which could also be defined as “literature music”

These are embarrassing opinions. It is very clear that none of you have listened to enough Bob Dylan to offer a worthwhile opinion on his music

Ok Bjork come back when you make an album half as good as Freewheelin, The Times They Are A-Changin', Bringing It All Back Home, Blonde on Blonde or Highway 61 Revisited because so far all your music has been trash.

And nobody gives a shit about or knows who the fuck is Björk irl while Bob Dylan is arguably the most influential artist of 20th century (not counting Beatles because they were a band).

I agree. Bob Dylan is the rap of rock. Even if he had a nice voice, he would only be worth listening to for the lyrics.
Outside the USA, or the English speaking world, nobody doubts the Beatles, or the Rolling Stones, or Led Zep are truly great, but with Dylan most people suspect it's an emperors new clothes thing and most Americans are simply educated into thinking he is great since they are kids.
If you are Polish or Chinese Dylan is just someone with a hideous voice who writes very simple songs, and you find it hard to understand why Americans think he is so great.

Literally almost all of her albums are better than anything Dylan has created.
She can talk shit about Dylan all she want because she’s right and she’s a better artist

yeah bod bob dylan is pop music in the grand scheme, that stuff didn't exist in the realm of modern classical like that. no pop musicians from that time were anywhere approaching levels of experimentation like that (except for maybe some psych rock in the late 60's), not just dylan.

Is this really the post, of all posts that typifies the shit of this board?

>There just aren't enough people dissing him
People talk shit about Dylan all the time dude, since last century do you live under a rock?

Why you guys comparing Folk with Trip Hop? (At least her roots of an unidentified genre she developed after or just plain difficult to determine).

Are you retarded?

Bjork never wrote a Rolling Stone, Desolation Row or a Blowin' in the Wind. She only influenced the art pop garbage that my neighbor is in.

That's funny because Beatles, Stones and Zeppelin were all influenced by Dylan at some point. Lennon considered Freewheelin' one of the best albums ever and probably Rubber Soul would've never existed without it.

And Dylan is famous as fuck outside english speaking countries because english is really fucking easy to learn.

imagine not liking dylan's voice

Yeah nah even if they don't like or listen to Dylan they know the songs he wrote. Literally every musician has done a Dylan cover.

She wrote Pagan Poetry and Joga though

My grandpa once said to me never trust any person that doens't like Bob Dylan. And knowing the piece of shit Björk, he's right. I always thought he was joking.

The boomers were quick to idolize things. It's not really his fault

A person liking GnRs Knockin on Heavens Door doesn't mean that person can enjoy a Dylan album (or even Dylans version of that song)

No one gives a shit about these songs though.

Not quickier than milennials and zommers.

They’re more niche but a lot more interesting that Bob Dylan’s lame folk pop tunes.

diversify your tastes

Henry Cow were better than Dylan. The fact that more Americans know about Dylan doesn't say anything.

Resume this thread:

Tori Amos never wrote songs like "Simple kind of Man" Lynyrd Skynyrd is better.

What? Tori Amos did wrote Cornflake Girl that's better than Free Bird.

Lame folk pop tunes that stood the test of time. Anyone can write good songs but only great artists stand the test of time. Björk is pretty much a has-been and not even the best thing Trip Hop had to offer.

>cornflake girl is better than free bird

You are gay mate.

Very based

Black Dove tho.

Bob Dylan was revolutionary in his own way back in the day when he went electric and combined it with more sophisticated lyricism than was the norm. He just writes good songs using American popular forms.

Bjork’s music did stand the test of time though. Just because her music isn’t as talked about as Dylan’s, doesn’t mean she isn’t still highly influential in other circles. Homogenic was a game-changing record for electronic music and even alternative music in general and its legacy can still be heard today.

Bob Dylan took literary forms and made is accessible for the masses.

Bjork is a woman.

Your voice is garbage too, Bork

You saying something doesn't make it true

Counting self-bump incels (3)

Bob Dylan had terrible vocals yet that gave him a trademark to say it in a way along with the name he took.

Everyone knows Dylan can't sing yet his folk lyrics and appreciation for Rimbaud made him attempt such life-style and apply it to his basis, still I love how Jimi Hendrix for example loved Dylan (I really don't know if he just got the record and since in 1967 there was really no good ways of getting more records or being easy to acquire a different one he just listened until he loved the man) I must admit All Along the Watchtower is well composed and improved by Hendrix just as Dylan says he prefers Hendrix cover (Who wouldn't?)

That being said the comparison is absurd due to the same time and genre discussed, I still consider Bjork also have profound lyrics yet they are usually private to an extend point that won't be of public appreciation as Dylan that was always for and by the people as the artist usually is since their success depends from the people.

Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize last year and that made me happy he deserves it for the effort he makes in some lyrics yet I wouldn't compare him to Bjork way of working or composing either, they are too far away from each other still you do because you love when two artists come to discuss about each other and you have that urge to choose one or demonstrate which one is "better" when they just tend to attract totally different fandoms.

It is true though and what makes impossible for me to into her. Her voice is annoying as fuck.

I wish that bomb made it to her in the mail.

and dylan's isn't?

Yeah.

It's not Dylan talking shit about Bjork is it? I'm not into him either.

Really? Björks music is far more complex and musical than Dylan’s. I’d argue her songwriting is usually better too, but listen to Vulnicura or Homogenic and tell me Bob’s lazy song structures are more interesting.

>its bad because its boring
wow, real cogent argument there you fucking spud.

Dylan and The Beatles were idolized because pop music before them was a bunch of cheesy surface level pop songs and the entire landscape changed fast

I'm glad you brought that topic even if you almost destroyed for being a dumbfuck.

Nietzsche and Schopenhauer said music was the greatest of all arts because it speaks directly to your senses, in other words, you can actually reach an objective truth through music since you can feel what the composer is trying to express, for example, in the 5th of Beethoven you can already start to listen to his desperation for going deaf among other strong sentiments just as you cannot paint in a canvas the will of a tiger when attacking his prey... That's almost known in visual arts yet all that explanation is actually my self-thoughts regarding Nietzsche and Schopenhauer cases of study but I went further, in their time there was no films yet films bring not only music and visuals together but also the ultimate interpretation of the act in the play itself, that's right I consider theather probably the highest demonstration of art but still it's highly question due to the same strict narrative that sticks to its own and can't really find a different path once it has started... Both are my cases of study 1st. If filme actually stands over only music or only visuals (There's also deaf films) and 2nd. If advanced composed music requires to be left alone to finally express its final form.

Are actual baby boomers allowed on this board?

I love Tori (saw her live 4 times in the 90's and early 00's) but I also love Lynyrd Skynyrd ( never saw them live they had their accident before I ever was inclined to attend one of their concerts) But both Cornflake Girl and Freebird are great as live performance show stoppers. I can't in good faith say which of those songs are better. Totally differnt concert atmosheres even though both Tori and LS were from southern U.S. States.

Highway 61 Revisited was far more innovative than anything The Beatles or Stones released up to that point. It's the album that really made everyone step up their game, because they knew Bob wasn't going to slow down anytime soon.

You recovered probably %10 of respect yet I'll bring it to 0% perhaps and no my dude, I'm not those kind of geeky assholes that feel their IQ test (That's a generic shit logic test that ends giving you a number in my case was 136 and I just rushed to finish) really demonstrate their power in creativity and imagination, and good thing I talked about imagination... You say literature and music are over films but a film script already contain literature in its own basis, again, it depends on how your imagine the book narrative how you'll end up understanding the author perspective or what he wanted to express, I must repeat myself again and again, such ways won't let you achieve an objective truth as music does since it goes directly to your senses.

I blew my own post? I half agree, saying theather is the highest demonstration of art for containing all the arts previously described might be a mistake since there was actually theater during the times of Nietzsche yet I difer because the movies that came along after really changed my way of thinking.

I do think you must read and listen artists in their native language this because the translation usually and at least in poetry damages the core rhyming and not only that, I think you can do the math.

Thanks for understanding.

I was expecting to get my almonds activated but that’s honestly a fair criticism. Although I disagree in the sense that there’s plenty of emotion and nuance in what Dylan does that isn’t just in the words. I mean half the time his lyrics are pure gibberish (albeit beautiful gibberish) but the delivery is what really sells them. Half the beauty in Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands is from the instrumentation and melody, even if it is based around really simple major and minor chords.
But of course, Bjork’s entire approach to making music is completely the opposite to his, of course she wouldn’t like Dylan. Their methods of songwriting are diametrically opposed, and are both equally valid and both can lead to great work.

this but unironically
not saying she is a better musician though, someone other producer creates her sound.
but clearly her best albums are better than his best albums

>le enlightened centrist

This, leonard cohen was a better songwriter AND composer

I haven’t listened to many records by Dylan, but I did listen to Blonde on Blonde many times and I think it’s quite beautiful musically. The chord progressions are simple but effective and the arrangements are very pleasant.

Björk’s songs don’t even have many chord progressions, her songwriting isn’t complex in itself. What makes her music sound complicated is the intricate production, not the bare composition, so she’s one to talk.

So the artists I listed aren't authentic, but these blues/folk negros are? What are you basing this on?

based acknowledger of different types of music

Dylan is pleb mass market buttfolk. Go listen to Cohen or John Fahey instead.

She just has a warped view of music which is why she's ended up doing so much mediocre-to-bad kitsch shit despite being very talented as a singer, writer, and composer, and despite being capable of making a really excellent song every once in a while. She's a tryhard and Bob's music is not fancy enough for her self image.
Hejira is way more musically complex than anything Bob ever did.

>I'm too much of a music lover for that to happen.

I mean, really. Fuck that. Songs like Blowin' in the Wind are timeless, Bjork is a product of 90s studio gimmicks that have aged like sour milk.

You're not wrong, so don't bother chucking in 'diametrically' to make it sound like a high school essay. It undermines your point.

Why are people in this thread arguing about wether Björk is better than Bob Dylan. Its 60s folk singer vs a 90s pop star, they are not comparable. Björk could never have written Visions of Johanna, and Dylan could have never sung Its Oh So Quiet. That dosen’t mean one is better than the other, they are just diffrent artists.

Post [Elektra, 1995]
This well-regarded little item rekindles my primeval suspicion of Europeans who presume to "improve" on rock and roll (or for that matter Betty Hutton, originator of the best song here). I don't miss the Sugarcubes' guitars per se so much as their commitment to the groove, which--sporadic though it would remain, Iceland not being one of your blues hotbeds--might shore up the limited but real intrinsic interest of her eccentric instrumentation, electronic timbres, etc. Then there's her, how shall I say it, self-involved vocal devices. Which brings us to, right, her lyrics, which might hit home harder if she'd grown up speaking the English she'll die singing, but probably wouldn't. Anybody out there remember Dagmar Krause? German, Henry Cow, into artsong and proud of it? Well, take my word for it. She was no great shakes either. But at least she had politics. C+

See what I mean when I said Bjork's stuff hasn't aged well? It's a product of 90s pop culture and in particular 90s art ho trends.

You know Joni Mitchell complimented her because "[Bjork] is one of the rare female artists I've heard who actually seems to enjoy sex."

Look beyond your borders Amerifag, there was no swing revival in other markets. Least of in the London DnB/IDM scene Bjork was a part of in the early 90s.

One thing that people don't realize about Bjork is that she was a child star in Iceland singing showtunes translated to Icelandic well before her emergence internationally, and has been releasing records since the 70s. In her early teen years, she rebelled and went towards the Icelandic experimental punk movement.

The oldest of her recordings I've heard are from around 1984 in the band K.U.K.L. that preceded the Sugarcubes (sharing about half the members). While KUKL had instrumentation is a bit more like the Sugarcubes (guitar, Einar on trumpet and "vocals", keyboards, drums), the more open-ended song structures actually foreshadow her more recent releases where songs don't have quite the structure to hold them together as "songs" the way we expect to hear. I really like the K.U.K.L stuff, and find that with repeated listens it's more hooky than it seems on first listen.

With all that background...Sugarcubes are actually her 3rd or 4th band after her "kid singing showtunes" career. And then there's her current solo career which really blends in elements from everything she's done from showtunes (particularly "It's Oh So Quiet"), to just plain weird stuff, to pop songs. My favorite of her stuff remains the first Sugarcubes albums "Life's Too Good" and "Here Today, Tomorrow Next Week", as well as Debut, Post and Vespertine. Frankly I enjoy most everything she's done - her voice just seems to open up to a world beyond, and frankly she could sing the alphabet and I'd be mesmerized.

On 12 September 1996, obsessed fan Ricardo López mailed an acid-spraying letter bomb to Björk's London home and then killed himself, but the package was intercepted by the Metropolitan Police Service.[83] López filmed himself in the process of making the acid bomb which was intended to severely scar the singer's face and torso. The nearly 18 hours of videotape described López's obsession with Björk, the construction of the device, his thoughts on love and other subjects, including racial remarks against Björk's then-boyfriend Goldie. The video footage continues after his mailing the bomb to Björk's London home and ends as López shaves his head, applies face paint, and commits suicide by shooting himself on camera.[84]

In her few public comments on this event, Bjork later said it was hard emotionally and it disrupted her life and work in London, explaining in part why she chose to leave the UK scene for good, reject her manic pixie dream girl image, and begin to write more personally with Homogenic (1997).

Bjork is salty because she realized that she's just a hack, an arty hoe who relies on tacky vocalization, wacky outfits, and purple prose. After decades of hamming her style, the critics are fed up, and the public laughs at her antics; only incels nerds have some respect for this old hag.

Dylan doesn't need to write that. Nor want to.

why does the dead exist off in some sort of astral realm where they are never criticized and their music abilities are never questioned or even really discussed? it's bizarre. it's like the drugs actually protect them.

youtube.com/watch?v=jYokDsGNmIY&t

He's been getting dissed in friendly and unfriendly ways since the start of his career.

Most of the recordings WERE popular music during their time (they were re-discovered singles after all) that just didn't bridge over to mainstream America.

Everyone here saying Cohen is the better songwriter knows they were mutual admires, right? Cohen even described himself as being nervous when talking about the process of writing Hallelujah to Dylan.

Honestly Cohen was as boring as a songwriter as well, I don’t understand why people are bringing him up.

Most contemporary folk is like this. Few folk artists from that period were focused on writing interesting, melodically rich and diverse music.

it's funny you posted that song. Lately it has gained notoriety as the only successfull single ever in Locrian mode (the verses and bassline are in Locrian mode, not the Chorus. It's a great musical feat).

in terms of musicality, cohen comes no where close to dylan. If anything, cohen's music far more utilised as a medium to deliver lyrics than Dylan. In terms of lyrics, Cohen is much more straight forward with his lyrics and he focuses on imagery and thematic development. I think his best works are Avalanche and the Partisan. Dylan is unique in that he can touch the nuances of relationships and emotion, which is a landmark characteristic of literature. In addition, his songs are phantasmagoric, with ineffable characters. Dylan follows the literary tradition of the Beats such as Kerouac but arguably does it with more nuance and sensitivity

lmao, imagine getting bested and btfo'd by an icelandic woman who looks like an eskimo

Bjork is right.
Poetry is nice but not everyone has a taste for it. I literally cannot see the appeal of reading sad poetry out loud on top of uninteresting guitar chords. There's a split between people who listen to music for lyrics and people who listen for instrumentation.
it's nto even a case of who has shit taste and who doesn't unless you're shitposting.

Tori Amos definitely fucks better just imagine her nice arse jumping on your lap as she plays the piano and she will call you Jesús if you stand long enough for a quickie, her voice is more mature and her moans might be better, Bjork said she was greedy in bed but Tori is way more sexual since she knows what to show without being a whore, I wouldnt discard the option of a threesome but I would end up eating Tori while Bjork just do something else I dont care.

I'm an anglo and despise Bob Dylan and Lou Reed. Pretentious (because it has no depth) Jewish garbage. All Jewish writing is tedious and whiny

Dylan's been a christian most of his life at this point.

I'm forwarding this post to Tori

you'll never find out

I used to be read by Tori but I stepped out of such places because my frustration for only being read and not able to touch her eventually made me get lose and just troll and bully people with no musical taste in this board which is almost %88 and the %12 that actually gave form to the core and gave directions before are now away or just check the archive from time to time because mu is shit nowadays... Too much retarded rap and zoomer gen Z stuff.

I love bjork but come the fuck on.

She's just jealous of his Nobel prize

My brain can't digest this sentence

this is based, always felt this way about bob dylan.

she is right about her opinion of bob dylan but her opinion isn't right for everyone

straight retarded thread

Based pastaiolo

And the only source of white privilege is actually just Jewish privilege

big lie

I agree with what John mayer said about Dylan. Love him

The problem with this is of course legendary people from non-English countries were inspired by Dylan and then tried to make his sort of music for their own country's audience. So yes, you have to be able to understand English to really appreciate him but his style is universal.

He's ethnically Jewish. That's the part that counts

Bluepilled Bjork vs Based Bob

Retard

Have you ever noticed every Bob Song was made better by someone else?

Leonard Cohen is shit too. Jew art and music is inferior

based

they both suck lol

stop being so mean to your huebros

She is wrong but only because not going far enough. Not only is his music just a shabby vehicle for “literature,” but the “literature” that it carries is shit when compared to any genuine poetry. If Dylan had published his lyrics alone they would be forgotten as soon as music when divorced from the lyrics. The fact that this double failure has become so popular is an indictment, not a point in his favour. When American cultural influence declines, Dylan and his shiterature will be forgotten.

Compare, e.g. with Sappho, who was a genuine lyricist, and whose lyrics have endured thousands of years after her music was forgotten

Also music for this feel and I want a gf threads, kpop flooding 1st Page is common and have always been there so you cannot complain yet as much as the cringy weebs discuss among themselves (usually 3 replying at the speed of thread creation light about their fantasíes with le gooks) you still get to see a beautiful korean robot made since birth for blinking and saying hello to the audience anyway what other shit flooded threads like le green frog meme with green text trying to expose a reaction liek >deletes entire álbum kek, some niggers asking for verses that just depress you seeing who actually browses and then the common metal shit threads with un known New noisy trash bands and the classical fags that only read themselves along with the soundcloud bandcamp threads no one ever visits because they know every 1 out of 100 is listenable and wont play their chances....

No because I've haven't liked most reinterpretations of his songs done by others.

Lennon > McGranny

Bob Dylan is one of the define artists of 20th century. He is a revolutionary and his name will be remembered forever, he will live forever.

Björk made some great albums but in comparission with Bob Dylan she's just a good artist. Trip Hop had better artist t.bh.

I'm sure that's what she was thinking when she said that she couldn't ever get into Bob Dylan

Shut it down.

Yes that does indeed sound very much like 1995.
