    My former boss turned me onto Dylan about 6 years ago.  Dude is a phenomenal songwriter, his voice is honest and isn't an over produced smooth sound, to me that's what makes him so authentic.  I love all of his old stuff, but to me it isn't old, I've just been listening to him recently.

    If you guys love Dylan, then I'm guessing you go crazy for a Springsteen.

    I'm not getting this parallel.  They have different musical styles, different generations.

    Dylan and Springsteen have a direct correlation, as like Dylan, Springsteen has a social conscience and like Dylan is able to pen his thoughts on paper, set music to them, which makes these two men almost the same. Spend an evening with Springsteens 'River' album and I think you'll agree. That.

    The connection is obvious, Manfred Mann covered both of them.

    That's what about half of all songwriter/singers do.  Dylan wrote about civil rights, social unrest, anti-war, and had a folksy style.   Springsteen is more humanitarian working class with a real energetic stage performance and a big-band sound.

    But I'm sure there are many parallels also.

    Earlier you wrote 'I'm not getting this parallel. They have different musical styles, different generations. ' now you say there are parallels, which is it? Now I'm confused?

    They both breathe air, blood is red, one is from Jersey, the other Jewish from Minnesota, both live on earth, sing in English, etc.

    I LOVE Neil Young! Probably more than Dylan!

    I would concur if you like Dylan, you probably like Neil Young.

    I'm a huge Springsteen fan and many years ago journalists tried to label him as his generation's Dylan but I compare it to sports writers trying to label a new baseball player as his generation's Mantle. Springsteen has a pretty wide scope of writing and performing so you'll find many influences, so certainly Dylan is in there but so is Chuck Berry, Elvis, Seeger, but ultimately Bruce is The Boss. @SoCaTim, you can clearly tell in some of the tracks off The River that Bruce had something very important to him to say but he also had some really pop type songs as well as just rock and roll. To me Nebraska exhibits more of a Dylan vibe. I drink bourbon to both albums with equal ease.

    Boy, that's a hard question. The 1st album I had was "Highway 61 Revisited," bought it from the straight to cut-out bin at the local supermarket for .50. All those songs stick in my memory. But probably my fave is "Its All Over Now Baby Blue," as sung by Joan Baez. After that," Knockin' on Heaven's Door," by Bob himself, w. the cover by Garcia also being much liked.

    @TexanOfTheNorth Isn't like a law or something in Canada that you aren't allowed to hate on fellow Canucks? Do you get a pass since you're an ex-pat? Do you still need to apologize?

    I do have to be very careful where, when and to who I say it. Same thing with Gordon Lightfoot!

    @nolaegghead We don't need to apologize up here for what we like and don't like. Gordon Lightfoot had one good song, IMO. There isn't one song that I like by Rush. I pretty much love anything the Tragically Hip has done! 
    It's all personal preference. 
    Dylan and Neil were pioneer's tho! They paved the way!
