But overall, I think Pearl Jam are an abomination. One of the worst bands, mainly just due to the fact I find Eddie Vedder to be a boring vocalist and as they went on they basically became the AOR equivalent of the alternative scene.

Vs. was a boring record. As was anything they did after that to this day.

I remember going through a Pearl Jam phase, but in my defense I was on a lot of drugs at the time.

Mostly what stops me from liking them more is Eddie though, don't like his songwriting. Find him to be no better than any of the self help zombies, who drink at starbucks and read The Secret and think they are deep.

No better than any of their clones.

Luckily I don't live in Canada, otherwise I would feed you through a woodchipper.

yeah, I was waiting for the death threats on that one.

Bob was a pretty damn good finger picker. Listen to him play a song called "I was young when I left home". I believe it's on the "no direction home" soundtrack. The finger picking on that song is pretty damn good. And when you consider he's singing at the same time, it's no easy task.

When it comes to his lead guitar playing, it's very simple but he could do it. There are some studio outtakes where you can hear some of his lead guitar playing. for example, his electric version of "house of the rising sun" with The Band. He also does just about all of the lead guitar playing on his MTV unplugged album. And of course there's his little solo intro in "leopard skin pill-box hat".

He just likes to rock the boat now and again, one day he'll see sense.

He's a good man, I know he means good.

On the topic, I'm biased and thus will not vote. I was raised on Young by both my parents, and my mom has a partial hatred for Dylan. I will agree with her that as good few of his popular songs just wind on and on. Sure, he's got a lot to say, and I wouldn't say his lyrics feel forced so much (though they can become a little wordy, in a sense), it just doesn't leave the song with much natural flow.

He was always a much better player than he was given credit for, including on piano. His piano style is idiosyncratic: a fellow musician remarked that Dylan would usually begin playing at opposite ends of the keyboard, with his hands ultimately meeting in the middle.

I think Dylan is the superior artist, but I find myself listening to Young more often. Young's music is more emotionally moving to me.
