What is the most overrated song of all time? - Lemmy.World

For me, pretty much all of Bob Dylan’s production. I know he’s supposed to be a Nobel-Prize-winning genius singer and songwriter, and everybody is in total awe of his talent, but… honestly, I’ve seen people sing better and play the guitar better in the metro.

I don’t dislike Bob Dylan, and his lyrics were a powerful product of his time. But he’s always seems very meh to me as a musician. I just don’t get the hype.

For him I think it was right time right place. How many bands/musicians could be transplanted to another time and still have success with the same music? Very few.
He was important for the time when songs were political statements, not just money grabs like today. Don’t wait for a Taylor Swift “Fuck ICE” song anytime soon.

Taylor Swift is a billionaire. She’s in the club. She’s not gonna shit the bed 🙂

Bob Dylans entire thing is that he can’t sing and he knows it.

Hes talked many times about how ridiculous it felt for him to be grouped with some of the greatest singers of all time when he was at award shows or other music stuff.

Just look at his expression in the We Are The World music video:

Folk music is not about singing or the tune, it’s just poetry to music.
Ah. The Steve Miller effect.

Bob Dylan was loved for his song writing. People didn’t love his voice or his playing, but they loved hearing him in spite of his voice because his songs meant so much.

The most popular versions of his songs were often recorded by other folk groups.

You should dislike Bob Dylan he is super annoying
