Bob Dylan versus Leonard Cohen

downunda · 06-24-2012, 08:31 PM

....whose music do you prefer?

TheBig3 · 06-24-2012, 08:59 PM

Dylan.

Cohen is lightyears better than Dylan.

I really do like Dylan but, yeah, what Janszoon said.
If there's some faster manifestation of time than lightyears then I'll even go with that.

Somebody talk about why they feel how they feel so that I can make a point or counterpoint. Versus threads are ****ing boring but this one is possibly worthwhile. And, no, I'm not going first.

With lyrics being the exception, how are Leonard Cohen and William Shatner any different?

Um, to my knowledge, Cohen never captained the USS "Enterprise".... maybe in one of those mad alternate universes, where Justin Bieber is considered a pioneer in music and Waits is just another drunk in an alley, but not in this one.

Sorry Engine, Cohen for me too. I mean, he it the boss. Probably the only lyrics I could ever imagine scarring myself with would be Leonard Cohen's.

Don't apologize to me - I'm on the Cohen side by lightyears.
As for the Shatner vs. Cohen thing -- I'll need to think about that for a while because it seems that one could write an entire scholarly textbook on the differences between the two. I might give it a try. Meanwhile, hopefully some other people will make some short, cogent, and succinct points about why Big3's question is so ridiculous and then I can just agree with those.

I was apologizing for not giving you a reason to counterpoint
