Bob Dylan OR john lennon.

**** thats actually a really tough question. I was going to answer Lennon but then I thought for a second and its like, its Dylan.

Lennon. Because I cant stand Dylan.

Great reasoning on picking who's more of an icon.

This is really tough, like Crow said, the instant choice is Lennon, but when you think about it, Dylan basically was Lennon just a decade or two before him. I'd guess that if you were to poll the entire population, then Lennon would get more votes, just because it's Lennon and he seemed more public and more direct about what he was saying, and he died for what he said as well.

Obviously Lennon because he was killed.

How was Dylan a decade or two before Lennon? DAVE!

Over here Lennon is much more of an icon, Dylan was just some guy who grumbled along to a guitar.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

In defense of my seemingly personal pick with my first post, these are exactly my thoughts on Dylan.

I honestly have no clue at the moment as to what I was thinking last night, The Beatles started almost the same year as Dylan.

I'm a dumbass, forgive me.

And here's to all the lonely stories that I've told. Maybe drinking wine will validate my sorrow. Every man needs a muse and mine could be the bottle.
