I asked because Max is French.

Ugh, please don't mention Bob Dylan in a Beatles thread. That guy is a jerk-off hack.
Leonard Cohen seems pretty cool, don't know him very well though. My personal favorite as far as folk is concerned is Gordon Lightfoot.

Bob Dylan does it to me too... the early albums and his resent releases.
Few people can touch his lyrics, storytelling ability and music.


It's kind of one of those things gets lost with mp3s- listening to an album all the way through.


And the worst part is a lot of folks today don't even have the comparison available.

I like Leonard Cohen a lot, but there's only one Dylan. Jerk-off hack? Ha ha ha.
There's so many Dylan songs out there that most people don't even realize it
when they hear them covered by other people,
and Bob & the Beatles are an easy fit.

I suppose I should have been more specific, that's my mistake. As a folk artist he is a Jerk-off hack. Of course it's just my opinion.

To have an informed opinion of this "folk singer" you'd have to listen
to a cross section of his music and his songbook is vast.

Back to The Beatles, they are one of the few bands that didn't cover Dylan,
though individually they all performed his songs.

oVo, you really need to start more music threads.
