early dylan, guthrie rip-off

Dylan was exceptional though, saying you don't like him and he gets too much credit okay but nothing sounded like Highway 61 Revisisted or Blonde on Blonde until Highway 61 and Blonde on Blonde.

Calling him a Guthrie rip off is a bit of stretch unless you're talking about just his first album in which case I agree with you though Woody was much more versatile than Dylan. Freewheelin/Times They Are A-Changin only sound like Woody in the sense that all folk sounded like Woody.
