Dylan has had a dramatically greater impact than Mitchell, has written far more well-known songs than Mitchell, and his music will be remembered far longer than Mitchell's will.

Nothing against Joni Mitchell, but Bob Dylan has shaped popular music as much as or more than just about anyone.

Pete Townsend correctly called Dylan "the fulcrum of modern music."

Pre-Dylan, rocknroll was only about cars and lost love. After Dylan, rocknroll has been about anything and everything. His impact is far more than most people realize.

Dylan changed everything about rock and pop music.

Sorry...but Dylan has been a one-trick pony - either with acoustic or electric instruments.

Same old, same old...

Sirius XM highlights artists and then does ‘interviews’ with them. Driving to Ventura and they were highlighting a group(don’t remember which one) but they were talking about some recordings they did with Bob Dylan. The musician said he learned a lot just from working with Dylan on a few songs and that Dylan was a musical genius. He said he made suggestions like....slow the temp here, off beat there and they didn’t make sense until they listened to the recording after and that it all ‘just worked’. By the way, not a huge Dylan fan here but I recognize his talent.
