Bob Dylan is the most overrated SINGER of all time. His songwriting is beautiful and profound and so much more meaningful when other artists sing them.
Greatest musician of all time. He continues to influence the world to this day. My favorite album is Blood on the Tracks.
7 out of 10. Thought I'd do better, since I was pretty much raised on Dylan by my older brother. Oh well...
I have a friend whose mother went to "Bobby's" bar mitzvah in Hibbing!
7/10. Thought they would mention were he was born, Hibbing, Minnesota, along with Kevin McHale of the Celtics.
I got 8 correct. Tbh I'm pretty embarrassed. I shouldn't have gotten a single question wrong.
Favorite Dylan album/song:
Time Out of Mind and Dirge/Not Dark Yet

Ah well, maybe it's time to take another listen. Don't think twice, it's alright.

8/10, big fan, should have done better. Dylan does not suit everybody's tastes, but he is a legend. Read Chronicles, strange but a good book. Still have a bunch of his stuff. Saw him in concert in 1992, won dead-center front-row seats from a radio station. Wife was adamant about not going, so I went with a girl from work. Wife did not mind. Good show, Dylan played a lot of piano. At the end of the show as we were leaving, a guy made a crack that they should have handed out lyric sheets
Never ceases to amaze me the number of people who take it these quizzes on subjects they have absolutely no interest in
