Neil would pick Bob. Bob would probably pick Bob too.

I have much music of both and couldn't do without either.


Well said.

Neil Young, a million times, Neil Young.

I've actually been driven to tears over the gentle verses of neil young, with bob dylan I'm more like "woah, how many bleating verses must a man rebleat until he reaches his point"

Edit. Nyar, I just get defensive about ol Neil. Bob is good, too.

Dylan. There's nothing wrong with Neil Young though, I love some of his albums, but Dylan is in his own league for me.

wellcharge 01.02.2010 07:28 AM

dylan,not that i particularly love either

Green_mind 01.02.2010 08:46 AM

If I was given a choice between either going to see neil young or going to see dylan, I'd have to go with young. The man was thrashing out sonic shronkage from his guitar whilst sonic youth was still just a twinkle in thurstons youthful eye.

Bob Dylan once said that his secret heroes are Neil Young and Lou Reed.

Keeping It Simple 01.02.2010 02:46 PM

Neither.

Neil Young. I went to see Neil 3 or 4 years ago the Greenville (?) tour where he played the whole album then played a few oldies for an encore I'd never seen him before and I was sky high with a list a mile long of songs I hoped to hear. I didn't sit still and I didn't give a rats ass that he didn't play any oldies he was fantastic. I saw Dylan very disappointed.

So both can make a great album but only Young can bring it to the masses.

DanielCarlson 01.02.2010 03:02 PM

Well, I would absolutely prefer to see Young live. I saw Dylan last year, and while I didn't expect too much, I was disappointed. Young on the other hand is lots of fun live.

demonrail666 01.02.2010 09:56 PM

The bottom line is that Dylan is God and that if anyone sees him on a bad night that's just akin to meeting God while he's tying his shoelaces.

Silent Dan Speaks 01.03.2010 04:01 AM

Well, Neil Young didn't become a parody of himself, so I think I'll go with him.

Genteel Death 03.18.2010 03:53 PM

This should have been a pool indeed. Neil Young makes mince meat of Dylan as a guitarist alone.

Derek 03.18.2010 04:06 PM

Neil Young's songs and his general sound appeal to me a hundred times more than Bob Dylan's ever could.

chrome noise tape 03.18.2010 04:26 PM

neil young...but please don't call him father of grunge! what is grunge anyway?

Derek 03.18.2010 04:30 PM

Clothes that are too big and boring "dirty" riffs.
