Dylan is an icon of the 1960s. He was the voice of a generation.
Exactly my thoughts! To the last word.

Dylan is a legend in historical terms regarding music. Can't say I play his music around the house though, he really doesn't resonate to my generation like he did to the baby boomers.

I saw him live and he played at least 90-100 minutes. And who cares if he doesn't play his guitar? Is that a law or something?
Plus he's over sixty freaking years old.

There were a slue of rumors as to why Dylan stopped playing guitar.....He said in an interview that it was because he couldn't get the full sound out of it he wanted, but real reports from people around him said it was because of a hand injury he suffered that caused some muscle damage hampering his ability on the guitar. He's been playing it for 2 or 3 songs on the recent tour so maybe he's worked hisself up to it now.

Yeah i heard the same thing, but i DIDNT hear that he was playing it for two or three songs now. I could've gotten tickets to see him near me, but i didn't...not enough money, sadly, and now they're sold out.
He still puts on a very good show.

Is Bob Dylan overrated?
It is a heresy to say that,

Over rated? I'd be opt to classify him as under rated based on some of the reviews he gets from substantially under-learnt 'critics'
The idea that he can not sing always has baffled me, as no one ever properly defines 'good singing.'
Granted, over the past years his voice has taken on a slight change (As almost every mid sixty year old vocal ability would) I question whether his songs could be sung any better than the way he has since '61.
The concept of 'good singing' probably should be based upon how well the vocal performance captures the song and pushes towards the ideal as a whole.
For instance, if Celion Dion sung Idiot Wind. I'm sure the voice would sound prettier, but is that what one really wants when listening to music? Pretty voices?
I've always found people who disapprove of his vocals actually never listened to much of Dylan in the first place. Usually, the songs they list are from early on from albums such as The times, Freewheelin, Another Side and so on. However (partially bias as you can tell I have placed Dylan somewhere near the Lord) I don't think I have heard better vocals in all of music than on Blood on the Tracks, or Blonde on Blonde.
Plus he rhymed metaphors, who the hell rhymes metaphors?!

I dont know if overated is a good word to describe Bob Dylan...but i defintiely dont "get him." Here is a list of other bands that i dont get that milliions of others do....Dave Matthews, Phish, Grateful Dead, Nickelback, Tool, Foo Fighters, Bruce Springsteen(i like him, but im not amazed by him).....The exteme popularity of these bands confuses me...im not saying they suck im saying that I dont see what is so special about any of them....same goes for Bob Dylan....Im not a huge Ac/dc fan but I understand why people would like them...the bands I listed I am having trouble understanding the attraction...I only bring this up because this Bob Dylan thing was mentioned and he falls in this category for me.

Well Bob is noted for his deep thoughts behind the words he wrote.........(this is a good thing).
He was a heavy thinker. Jim Morrison was a heavy thinker. They are a different form of Art........
....speaking of Art..........tell me..........why is Britney Spears so famous?

Recent Dylan shows have been hit and miss, it's hardly the band's fault, they are actually top notch players.
The difference that I've seen has been his attitude on any given night, some songs kill one night, then barely make a flutter the next. I imagine the crowd also played a factor in the handful of shows I've been to lately, the crowds that got it and loved it seemed to bring something special out of him those nights.
But back to the band, they're up there not knowing what to expect just like the crowd as the song's tempo/lyrical cues/everything/etc change night to night the same way he's been doing it since the Rolling thunder revue which is probably the time most songs began their drastic overhaul.

no. he's a god.
He's definitely up there with God for sure...
Bob Dylan has never been a great singer and has never claimed to be, so some people write him off because of that.
The guy has written some of the best albums we will ever hear and he's influenced a countless number of musicians.
I personally think his first albums are the best he's done but a lot of people like his "electric" stuff better. But no, I don't think he's overrated at all. As always, to each their own.

It's all been said, but I'll throw in my 2 cents.... Dylan was a great songwriter but he was/is the world's worst singer, and he's hugely overrated for that. Basically anybody can perform a Bob Dylan song better than Bob Dylan. A great example is "Knockin on Heaven's Door" by a certain favorite band of ours....

Fuck all the people who are enrolled at the "Bob Dylan Can't Sing School of Lameness."
You people have obviously never listened to Nashville Skyline.
You're all just a bunch of followers who never even listen to the tunes and open your big yaps.
Now, fall asleep on an active railroad track.
