Dylan's lyrics have made most of pop & rock music what it is today.

Someone cited Robert Hunter above as a preference... I spoke to Robert Hunter once after a show of his and, after I effused about he and Dylan being my greatest influences as a songwriter, he looked at me and said, "Yes, well, without Bob Dylan none of us would even be in this room tonight."

Oh! That! No, no, no, you're not ready to step into The Court of the Crimson King. At this stage in your training an album like that could turn you into an evil scientist.

Dylan may have gotten the ball rolling, but I still greatly prefer Hunter's lyrics. Just personal preference.

I don't care what you all say, Dinah Moe Hum has better lyrics than anything Dylan or Hunter wrote.  :evil:  :wink:
"I used to be 'with it', but then they changed what 'it' was and now what I'm with isn't 'it' and what's 'it' seems weird and scary to me"

You haven't lived until you've had a robot shart in your ear and followed along in the live setlist thread while it happens.

If the "greatest rock music lyrics" debate were to take place, I think Hunter is one of the few who is legitimately up there at the dylan level.
