When you think of previous recipients like Yeats, Hamsun and Shaw then Bob's contribution to the world of letters looks rather meagre, to put it mildly.

An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

Fair play. That's a surprise, but completely deserved. Fella is a force of nature and a complete wordsmith, whether you like his singing or not. My favourite song is probably "only a pawn in their game"

Nonsense. I struggle to listen to his voice on a lot of his material, but the prose stands alone. A lifetime of high quality work

Dylan has far more relevance to our lives. The isle of inisfree ? Doesn't compare IMO.

Maybe it shouldn't.


Life death marriage ,divorce, war,heartbreak,joy,hope,loss all in his songs ,which have been and will be performed for years to come.

Times they are a changing radically altered many lives and articulated what people were feeling at the time.

Boring, tuneless, gruff timbre,? Listen to The Hurricane, a true story that is as relevant now as is what then

Being a master harmonica player means nothing as regards the context of a song.

It's about soul, the heart and sometimes this is lost when luminary musicians are indulging themselves.

I always thought Hendrix was a boring and self indulgent tw@t but many idolised him so it's down to taste.


Most punters can't read music nor know anything about keys,chords or strumming patterns but a melody with meaningful lyrics hits people in the guts.


Young uns should invest in a copy of blonde on blonde

He's one of these artists that some think they are "ever so cool" to say they like.

This isn't a Novello award we're talking about, mun. As a songwriter, a lyricist, certainly compared to most of today's pap he's up there; but if we're talking about actual prose or poetry then placed alongside Eliot, Jones or Auden?

I'm not really knocking Dylan, I've got quite a few of his albums sat on the shelves (although it's only Bringing it all Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited I'd care to dip back in to) but I do find the award of the Nobel Prize quite funny.

Let's be honest, the Nobel prizes lost a lot of their prestige when Barack Obama won for basically not being George W. Bush.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

I'd rather pull my toe nails out with a pliers than listen to either Dylan or Cohen. Each to their own though innit.
