Far-L

Frankly no one here even holds a candle to Bob Dylan just for the simple fact that every single person in this poll and the others that have been brought up all owe a debt to Dylan for expanding the possibilities and breaking the ground lyrically and poetically speaking.

I have seen or read more than half the song writers mentioned thus far say as much themselves.

And the man continues to have a prodigious output, more so than any other here, so love or hate his singing style, or the fact that he is an old guy now, or whatever - Dylan stands in a class by himself.
