Dylan change the mentality of an entire generation!. His music united people behind a multitude of causes that lay within the social fabric of the 60s and 70s; and to a large extent still has an impact on the world we reside in today!. Dylan's material is firmly cemented is the rock and roll hall of fame, and his records continue to outsell nearly all contemporary artists accross the globe, he is a true musical genius!.

Amy Whinehouse knows Pete Doherty!.!.!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Not criminal, just ignorance and stupidity -- clearly such people are qualified to become MPs or US legislators!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Well I dont think thats really fair!. That Bob Dylan revolutionised music is not in doubt!. Everything you say is right about him!.

But I think she is one of the best female artists for a long time, you only have to listen to 'back to black' for that!. She clearly is not way near his level!.

You'd have to say that these are good lyrics:

We only said goodbye in words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black

And dont forget the university question asked students to 'contrast' and not 'compare'!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

well, i do think that she is entirely overrated and while she is talented to some degree, a lot of her success is inflated!. as well as this, the superficial aspects of her music are played up a lot!. dylan needs no additives!. his art is pure and real!. bob dylan was a part of something bigger than him, a time of change, which he was a large component of!. i dont see anything like this happening these days!. so whinehouse isnt part of any bigger unified movement!. i think a talented artist who sits around with another equally talented artist, squandering all the talent they do have on smoking crack is hardly eligible to be called a "legend" or compared to one!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I am a huge admirer of Bob Dylan and Blood on the Tracks is still my all time favourite album but I have to admit that he hasn't really written anything for decades that rivals his early work!.
Amy is a huge talent for the 21st century and if she can get off the self destructive path she is on has the capacity for much more great work!.

Criminal!?!? Come on!. We can argue who's best till the cows come home without coming to any conclusions!. I might be a tired old hippy but I can still appreciate quality music whatever era it is fromWww@Enter-QA@Com

everything's objective
yes, the majority would go for bob dylan over amy winehouse- but these are students, who are they most likely to listen to!?
i'm a music obsessive but i still hate the purist attitude, who has decided fall out boy are EVIL because they covered joy division!. yes joy division were amazing but you need to make way for new people too!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Do you know what!? I don't care!

What I do think, is that Amy Winehouse is one rude bi t ch - and if you could get her between the sheets you'd probably have a very good time and learn an awful lot about yourself!

The only thing I would want to know to be honest, is can she get her ankles behind her ears or not - and if she could sing along with that lovely voice of hers, so much the better!Www@Enter-QA@Com

no!. bob dylan should NOT be compared to winehouse!.
bob dylan is amazing!. does amy winehouse write her own lyrics!? bob dylan never had a public affair, so as far i'm concerned he's loyal to his wife!. kudos to him, plus he tries to stay out of the public eye, where as winehouse eats it up!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

You can't even compare them on a "human" level!.

































































And I'm going to take up most of the page!.

















































































































































Whinehouse isn't worthy of mention on the internet!. This page should be deleted!.






































Like, now!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I'm still trying to figure out why people call Whinehouse talented!. She's an average singer and possibly wouldn't even be recognised by anybody during the 50s & 60s!.

Overhyped drug riddled mess pretending to be the next Etta James!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Yes it is!. Amy winehouses talents don't even come close to the talent Bob Dylan had!. Saying that Bob Dylan was nowhere near as talented as Eric Clapton!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

lol, you can compare her sound to anyone you like, but that doesn't mean you are comparing accompishments!. Those are entirely 2 different things!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Of course, she is completely and utterly worthless, her minor success was just a fad blown out of proportion by overzealous shallow "critics!."Www@Enter-QA@Com

oh dont be so ridiculous, it says compare the songs anyway, not the people!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

yes yes yes! His songs speak to people more compared to hers!.!.!.not going to rehab!? right, then more crazed drunk people would be out on the streetWww@Enter-QA@Com

Yes it is criminalWww@Enter-QA@Com

no, get over it old man, the kids are into that new devil music!. An interesting thing I learned from KRS-1 "and I know because of KRS 1" sublime qoute!.!.!.!.!.!. Many of these bands are selling to children or teenagers the big buyers of music!. These 20 something paid musicians act similar to a news reporter!. They don't always believe what they're saying but they try to understand thier constituency and talk about socially relevant material!. I can't tell you if Dylan was any different!. Certainly he was successful and lasting, many people are not but I'm sure there is more to Amy Whinehouse than knowing Pete Doherty!.

also after now looking at the article, no one is comparing her to anyone, they are comparing the lyrics to certain songs!. Apparently there must be a similar theme betwixt the songs!.

I find this funny another out of nowhere anger and question!. You're just making stuff up and being angry about it!. before i cross the quidelines of yahoo, i'll just leave the simple answer no it should not be illegal to compare anyone to your beloved bob dylan!.

If you're interested in what I said about marketing in music watch the KRS 1 interview on Bill O'rielly, it is available on youtube!. I think he really gave O'reilly the what for!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
