Neil Young

[markolas]

Bob Dylan. I can't stand most of Neil Young's stuff...I only like his country-ish albums...can't tolerate all that loud guitar crap. And his voice is too high and whiny a lot of the time

[Karlie]

I don't really like either of them, but I had to go with Neil.

Dylan doesn't have a high voice.

Ever listened to "One More Cup of Coffee"? Great song, but christ.

[GypsySorcerer]

Bob Dylan. No reason needed.

Personally, I think he looks like one, too. He's what Gargamel might look like after many years of hard living.

Still love him, though.

[markolas]

I guess I just don't see it. I keep thinking of Neil Young's After the Gold Rush album and remembering how unlistenable it was...like he recorded it while giving himself a vasectomy or something. I think I threw it away.

Remember his appearance via satellite at the Oscars a few years back?

That was memorable just for seeing Frances McDormand rock out in her seat. I was expecting her to leap out of her seat at any moment, light a joint, and spin wildly.

I love that song he won the Oscar for, though, it's fab.

Dylan...

...due to all the Stevie connections.

[Mari]

Neil Young. Because of this one:



And this one:


and plenty of other great albums, but I played those two to the death.

[Nico]

Neil.

It could possibly be the fact that he's my dad's favorite artist and he (and the Beatles/Velvet Underground) was played more than anyone else during the formative years of my life. But, really, he is so awesome and I love all his new material.

Bob...I love him. I think I have nearly everything by him attainable- in some form or the other. Very tough one, but I'll go with Young.

[Miss Vicky]

Dylan, hands down. He is the ultimate songwriter and, like Roy Orbison, his involvement in the Traveling Wilburys doesn't hurt.
