Bob Dylan finally makes sense....

In a recent interview Bob Dylan called music recordings "Atrocious" and went on to add that no good music has been made in the last 20 years, he went on to add that downloads should be free because the music is not worth anything anyway.
I have never really liked Dylan except for a few songs, but it is nice to see someone take a stand on how badly most music is recorded.

He sounds no different than most other people who disparage the generation after theirs. And he sure isn't digging too deep if he says that no good music has been made in the past 20 years. Because there are literally thousands of recordings released during that time which are outstanding in terms of both composition and production.

I second Boa2's response. Besides Dylan could never hold a tune himself anyway!

Any votes for Dylan as "Most Overrated Musician"?

Dylan is #1, in music. Like many artists, he can be an idiot outside of his art. I listen to the music, not the musician. Frank Sinatra was great, too, but a total jerk. James Brown, incredible music, total idiot. And the beat goes on. . . you can think of your own . . .
Stick to the art, not the artist.

One of my favorite quotes comes from an early Dylan interview. When asked why his music seemed to have lost some of the bitter edge he replied (and I paraphrase) "it's hard to be a bitter millionaire."
Musician? Not so great.
Folk poet? One of the best. IMHO
