If you say something smart like urban always does mostly.

1. What dull amterial are you reffering too. Mid period Dylan is pretty lousy but intentionally so. According to him he was sick of putting out music and the fame but he was obligated to make recordings so he slapped stuff together and sent it away. Its like when the media followed him wherever he went he would do awkward things to throw them off. From everything I've ever read Dylan seems boarderline psychotic so I would belive the stories. But if you feel Dylan is over rated go out and by his first 3 albums. O just Freeweeling. Or hell just download a hard rains gonna fall or like a rollin stone.

2. Yes, It has become VERY VERY trendy to like bright eyes.

;_; Shoosh... I like Bright Eyes.

oh boy.... i might not like emo, but this band takes emo to the next level. andi dont think anyone can really stand the next level of emotions.

Comparison of Bob Dylan to Bright Eyes:
Both are acoustic,
Both put words in ways that we couldn't think of
Both are slightly depressing
Both are good.

the only thing depressing about bright eyes was watching him ruin music on austic city limits.

bright Eyes was on austin city limits? geese thats kind of sad

Avril Lavinge played acoustic before is she comparable to Dylan.

Like I said before many bands do this. Dylan does it on a much better level that Oberst

Dylan songs are filled with passion, not sorrow.

Bright eyes isnt that good.

Passion includes sorrow as well as joy.

Bright Eyes is good, but not that good. I've been an Oberst fan for quite some time. Certain songs are OK, certain aren't too good, and some will make you want to cream your pants with their simple, yet amazing guitar lines and indie lyrics. Nonetheless, to compare him to Dylan may be an overstatement. Dylan hit a point in his career with material that will be hard for anyone to ever match, whether it be Oberst or not.
Bottom line: I am not dissing Bright Eyes. I like them a lot. But to compare Oberst to Dylan is not right.
