Message: [QUOTE="Pseudo64, post: 165586, member: 179251"] I think Bob Dylan is a bit overrated, and with the amount of documentaries made on him, I always feel like the industry is trying to make me think that Bob Dylan was more influential than he actually was. I always felt that people like Sam Cooke and Labi Siffre from the same time were much better in mixing tunes with great lyrics. I personally would've given the noble prize to Labi Siffre to be honest (again a very subjective opinion), because his songs always drive me to tears. I am not saying Dylan is bad or anything, but yeah, I don't get the hype for him. But then I am more of David Bowie/ABBA kind of guy, so probably it is just matter of taste. Another unpopular opinion of mine is that Jim Morrison's last album, An American Prayer, is kind of pretentious. Atleast for me. I get the core concept behind it, taking his poetry recitations, adding music, and seeing if it works as a song. Appreciate the concept, but I find it lacking in execution, and it is also the fact that I didn't like Morrison's poems either. Again, just a matter of taste, because I have seen some people call An American Prayer one of the best "spoken albums" of all time. I haven't listened to much Spoken albums, so maybe there's that, but I do listen to poetry recitations, and as poems, I found the ones featured in An American Prayer to be kind of weak. But then again, that's just me. So maybe they didn't connect with me like they may do with someone else. [/QUOTE]
