He changed what it meant to be a star. Sure Marley sounds good and has style and flow and sure he's some pretty boy jamaican, of course he's gonna be a star. The real talent is being able to look like shit, sing like shit, barely play for shit, and still become a living legend.
i love both very much, and i've seen dylan live. they're both such great musicians, but i think they're different types of music that can't be compared. both shine in their own genres.
im almost 18 and my icon is a joke, but sure my opinion doesnt count because it isnt the same as yours, i agree that dylan is an amazing artist and with what PA said but the fact that you are comparing them is just stupid, they are both great musicians. and how is bob marley "gangster" in the first place?
because the new school community always is riding the cock of reggae music, its ridicullous, sure its chill music, but nothing is more ridiculous than a bunch of white kids listening to dancehall even you can't even fucking understand while participating in the whitest sport ever.
Secondly, ATLANTASKI you are the biggest faggot ever. Remember all the threads about this guys trips to aspen, and bringing 17 diffeent polos for a week vacation?
How about all the myspace shots of him with his phone in the mirror.
You fucking rich jew, you have no idea what it's like to be any of us. Nor do you have the credibility to make such a claim.
And lastly, you can't even compare the two. It's like saying Led Zeppelin Vs The Beatles. Not comparable at all.
dude there is nothing racist about commemorating my user name after the President of the Confederate States of America, theres a fucking Robert E Lee Blvd in Steamboat Colorado, being down with the confederacy has nothing to do with racism and everything to do with southern pride and good sense.
haha, everyone gets so defensive. cant you realize hes just trying to make you pissed off? i like dylan more as well, but marley is good. its hard to compare the two because they are so different musically.
fuck the south, you have nothing to be proud of, jefferson davis was the leader of the confederacy that wanted to keep people enslaved on the basis of their skin color. also, i think mocking bob marley for dying of cancer is a really asshole thing to do. so fuck you and fuck georgia and fuck jefferson davis, you dick
i actually thought it would be fratty as shit to waste 40,000 dollars of my parents money and get put on academic probation after second semester and move to colorado.
actually i like dylan more, and his line in "subterannean homesick blues" , the pump don't work caus the vandals took the handles, originates from a pump in red hook right down the road from bard college and what was once a bar named adolphs
Well first off this is seems like a stupid and pompous thread to start. Honestly you think Bob Dylan is cool because he didn't die of cancer? Last time I checked still no cure. I personally think Bob Dylan is cool shit, 2nd greatest song writer next to Tom Petty IMOHO. I think it is kind of stupid how lots of kids just like Bob Marley cause he smoked weed. And the whole Rhasta color things is whatever, it's a style you dont have to beleive in it. It's like getting mad a non-golfers for wearing a Lacoste shirt.
you really can't compare the two since dylan is one of the fathers of folk music and marley is one of the fathers of reggae, totally different music. though i admit, I have way more dylan albums than marley since he's one of my all time favorite artists.
and Bob Dylan is 66 years old, though with all the cigarettes/weed/alcohol/drug usage over the years, he does indeed look about 100.
Wow i was going to respect your opinion, until you said he died from "pussy toe cancer" That is fucked up to say, he actually died from Brain lung and stomach cancer. cancers not a fuckin joke you douche.
i don't get why enjoying a certain type of music makes everyone else see you as thinking your black or white... I am a suburban kid but i love listening to hip hop and all that good stuff i also like Marley but i don't get why people automatically think i am a wigger or "A prepubecent gangster" or what ever you called it
Whoever the threadstarter is, you are ignorant as fuck. that "pussy ass toe cancer" he died from, he could have stoped it. he chose not to because amputating goes against his religion. It's also dumb as hell that you are trying to compare these two. Personaly, I like marley much better, and however bad dylan's voice is, he was a filthy song writter.
