You or the Nobel Prize judges? :tempted: In all seriousness, Dylan`s laconic style, phrasing and syntax are the things that make them literature. He tells stories in dark, comedic and esoteric ways, which appeals to dark, comedic and esoteric people like me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepphead Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 I listened to both albums again yesterday .... McCartney's is definitely a grower, but I still side with Dylan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
