Reply to I wanna talk about Bob Dylan by Radiant_Helicopter_7
I mean, he can't sing, his harp hurts my ears and he's a mediocre guitarist. But, he was the first dude in the western rock world to write songs that weren't about heartbreak, teen love and other superficial themes geared towards kids. It was super obvious in retrospect but at the time it was ground breaking. The Beatles would switch from Twist and Shout to A Day in the Life. It shook up the world of rock. It was during Dylan that early Motown groups went from HDH's Baby Love archetype to Norman Whitfield's grittier Ball of Confusion.

I lived in Seattle during the grunge era and it was cool. But that is loooong gone

Seattle is fucking awful for live music venues. I mean, really, really terrible. It went from a decent music city to a wasteland in 25 years.

Even though technically they were a ska/pop band, the inner tension of the trio gave them a definite rock flare. We will never see another like them.

As a guy who was a teen during his heyday I could never understand his level of success. His stuff was good, but not hit parade number one, constant rotation good.

Reply to If they remade The Blues Brothers today, who would be starring in it? by ApesApesApes
Well the blues are long dead so it would have to be hip-hop. Jack Black and Kyle Gass would be pretty awesome with Ice Cube, Ice T , LL Cool J, Childish Gambino, RZA...
