Dylan v Beatles on Harry Hill ?
FIGHT!
I don't think you would get the Fabs and Bob to slug it out.
Their careers effectively ran concurrently for a key amount of time and there was much mutual respect.
I don't agree that music is subjective either - any more than Sport or Science. You could argue that Chelsea or Man Utd Pele or Gordon Banks was/are overrated but you'd be daft as a brush.
With music we have the very crude measurement of 'sales' but a better picture would be to look at Influence, Timelines, Books authored, Websites, Polls etc - it's not quite as clear cut and allows people to say things like the Troggs were better than Led Zep or the Beatles were overrated (usually without any convincing argument or facts).
This is a forum an exchange of ideas rather than a notice board for wild opinion surely?
I think the Beatles are Massively under rated.
Dylan is in a league of one.
If you don't like em’ you don't like or understand Pop/Rock music.
Nothing wrong with that if people are big enough to accept it. I don’t ‘get’ classical music, cooking, the Fashion Industry, Theatre or Gardening and would never venture an opinion.
Trouble is every one becomes an expert.
