Bob Dylan vs the Butthole Surfers
 

Vote!

huh

now look what you did!

Bobbo

Crap and Crap

i hat e th e buttwhol e surf e rs

I've checked out some of the Surfer's stuff, and I think it's pretty good

So do I. But I hate them less than Dylan!

i thought dylan was a butthole surfer

you know, an asshole?

Bob Dylan is hands down one of the best and most important musicians to ever live.

Theres really no contest at all!

You are getting repped for that!

you are right.

i rather have gibby haynes and paul leary than the mediocre folk gramps who gets called "genius" by every tone-deaf poseur on the basis of maybe 5 or 6 albums that are good out of like 50 he has released.

truly, no contest.

locust abortion technician<95% of dylan's albums.

(yeah, the bhs discogrphy is flawed but at least from brown reasons to live to locust abortion, they are one of the best bands ever)

this is the most ridiculous thing !!
it is way too hard to vote this.
i love love love the Butthole Surfers!!!
total shock rock.....reminds me of the crimson curse video live show where the dude is naked playing guitar or of a kk rampage live show

bob dylan though....classic...i have to go with dylan for songwriting and such

HAHA. Right on.

I'm only short, like, 3 albums to owning all of Dylan's catalogue. And there's not one album that I don't like - I appreciate them all in their own way. They all have value.

Bob is definitely better.

I don't like most of Dylan's lyrics. His good songs have ended up being covered by much better musicians to show what a crappy composer he is. Hendrix's version of All Along the Watchtower is a million times better, so is Richie Havens's version of Just Like A Woman.

I bought this live album by Bob Dylan once that sucked so much I destroyed it with a hammer. But I voted for him in this poll.

Yay.
Yes, though most of his albums are shit, he's still a lyrics genius.

I prefer the original. But I love both Hendrix and Dylan.
Dylan is hardly a 'crappy composer'. Now that's just plain poppycock.

pretentious assholes.

it's come to full circle; as i said, i thought bob dylan is a butthole surfer.

Geez, calm down.

Saturnine: Only like... 33 of them are studio albums, and that's counting a few movie soundtracks he did. Alot of Dylan's catalogue is made up of Live releases, and Best Of's.

HAHA. I said I value all of his releases (that I own)

In comparison to Hendrix I think he is.

Incorrect. When it comes to guitar ability, yes, Dylan is indeed inferior. But not songwriting composition. Dylan was Jimi's favourite songwriter/musician. So in a way, you have Dylan to thank for your Jimi admiration.

Anyway. Who cares, really.

Hendrix is for hippies.

you mean "was a butthole surfer."


hendrix's version fucking blows compared to the original. Dylan is amazing. I cant believe you guys are putting him down. the butthole surfers blow, hendrix can take his retarded classic rock shit and shove it up his ass.

Opinions can't be incorrect.

The arrangement for the Hendrix version is so much better though. I'd say arranging is a big part of composing. There is really nothing impressive to me at all about the arrangements that Dylan composed for the original versions of his songs. I'm not saying he needed full band instrumentation, I'm just saying I didn't find the way he played his chord progressions very powerful- they bore me in comparison to similar artists using the same instrumentation.

I'm not the sort of person that likes my favorite artists influences by default.

Bob's lyrics get me right in the gut....as you can see I posted them in all the Dylan polls. That is all, carry on.

I find his acoustic strumming stuff much more interesting and powerful then a boring classic rock song with a lretarded guitar solo that we have to hear on the radio for the next 100 years.

I don't listen to the radio o.0

Everything you say is your opinion, doesn't mean your opinion is correct. Theres always facts. If you say a dog has 6 legs, just because thats what you think, doesn't make it so.

In your opinion, I'm wrong?

I vote Bob. I get irritated when I talk to people who act like he's the worst singer and guitar player on the face of the earth. In my experience, this usually comes from people who sing and play the guitar as well, but who couldn't compose a decent song or a set of lyrics to save their life. I don't understand why he inspires so much hatred, but whatever.

Butthole Surfers.

i've only heard one butthole surfers album. i like it. but i can name 10 dylan albums that i love more
alot of people dont know that he disguises his voice. listen to the 'nashville skyline' album. he sings sweetly on that one

Bob Dylan

Heh! Bobhole Surfers vs Butt Dylan?!?

I agree that comparing Bob Dylan to the Butthole Surfers is the equivalent of comparing bread to slug.

I've tried to find a BHS album in record stores, but the only on I've found was Electriclarry land. I guess I have to do mail order for their early stuff

My favorite is probably the Widowermaker ep.
albums: Locust Abortion Technician & Psychic, Powerless...another man's sac

what about Rembrant Pussyhorse?
