Loved him from the off, one of the first albums of Dylan in Sunderland certainly in Redhouse North belonged to me , a proud boast I cant prove ,unless you lived within earshot.
Yes if you are of a certain age, you have several of his albums.
Although I have seen him a few times live... its not so good, as his singing live is nowhere near his 'studio' recordings!
Lots of other artists cover his songs, better than him.
Still he is an amazing song writer.

I was introduced to his music by my music teacher in 1966 and have been a massive fan ever since.
I have most of his albums on CD and vinyl, including his 39 studio albums and listen to him most evenings

They reckon he was a poet most of all.
The best thing is...he's still with us!

The songs are so well crafted they are ripe for interpretation , but few covers outshine the originals in my eyes, never seen him live but this is not a bad shot

Never been much of a Dylan fan, but a few weeks ago (10th March) @Montysoptician posted "Posively 4th Street" one the music night thread, and I loved that one. A song @Smug in Boots described as "One of the most beautifully hateful songs ever written", and I can see why.
I've went on to listen to quite a bit more now, some I really like, some not so much.
57 year old, and only just discovering Dylan!!

Probably the most highly regarded person in music ... by other highly regarded musicians.
Whatever fans of Robbie Williams or Adele think is of no consequence.

I'm in the same boat Snaggey! I'm 56 and I'm now into Dylan! Like WTF!
It's funny when fans of lightweights, like Adele, dismiss Dylan as rubbish ...
... without even realising their heroes have recorded cover versions of his songs.
I watched a YouTube video earlier of Dylan in San Francisco around 64. So good. He was being hoyed random questions...really good watch if anyone fancied googling it.
Adele, lightweight?
Never thought I'd hear them words in the same sentence

He's having fun and taking the piss in parts of that interview
Hard Rains a Gonna Fall. I could listen to that on a continuous loop.
He’s just on another level to everyone else.
The more you read about him the more you realise how astonishing his talent is.

Another level for sure.
Can't believe I've always known of him but just wrote 60s music off without giving it a chance...
Posted this in the music thread a while back. Absolute quality.....

I completely understand why people don’t get Dylan, but anyone who is interested in his work should read a book called “Why Bob Dylan Matters” by Richard F Thomas a Harvard professor. It helped me to develop more of an understanding of his words
