And he was successful with it which is one of the reasons that frank Zappa gave him some praise.

O yeah, you can say "at that time" but we're not talking at that time, we're talking here and now, with the test of time at hand, as well as the bonus question of how they're doing now, and as far as experimentation goes, what he did then doesn't sound as fresh or shocking as Neil's early experimentation, and what he does now does not derive from any previously laid style like Neil Young's has at least considering his earliest material. If you make a time line for the two artists, i'm sure you'd find more variation on Neil's chart than Dylan's.
Neapolitan I just recognized the condescension in your comment. Thanks. Fuc
k that, because who the hell else sounds like Neil when they play guitar? And what whammy bar is the secret ingredient to that? These questions are mostly rhetorical but go ahead and answer them if you so please.
