Dylan IS a musical genius.

As a lyricist he's just about without peer.

yeah.
He was a great song writer.
Not many people can write more than one absolute classic.
He wrote dozens .
Who cares if he used only a handful of chords.

Thom Yorke is the modern day Axl Rose: great lyricist, but a complete douche.

"Thom Yorke sat at a piano singing, 'This is f**ked up,' for half an hour. We all know that, Mr Yorke. Who wants to sing the news? No matter how much you sit their twiddling, going, 'We're all doomed,' at the end of the day people will always want to hear you play Creep. Get over it" - Noel Gallagher

I like Radiohead.
Saw them at the ent cent about 10 years back now.
Have all their stuff bar the last one.
Funny because one of the new songs is even a bit rock n roll...which is more my taste.

The dude is one ugly ugly man ...thats why he plays the tortured artist card IMO.

can't argue with that.

So many great songs.
great voice to go with the experimentation.

He has been hit and miss, and his new album is very much like that.

However, I have been listening to Odelay quite a bit lately.

That still sounds as fresh and innovative as anything out today.

I really rate seachange.
Not bad for an album that almost didn't get released.

Mutuations is another good one.

I'll also throw Thurston Moore and Wayne Coyne (flaming lips) into the mix.

So people have said here, unfortunately asides from a "carbon" issue no one has been able to explain why he is a wanker or a douche..

let's see - Axl Rose, track record of cancelling shows, coming on stage 2 hours late, taking how many years to record an album, being a general prick versus Thom Yorke who, umm.... yeah. :?

Besides him being a wanker Fish Axl is extremely talented, amazing actually, he is very unusual and a extreme perfectionist, that bad that if the sound speakers weren't up it at a concert he'd walk off, weird i know.

Mikael Akerfeldt, of Opeth. Just because he's not famous doesn't mean he's not a genius.

He writes music (not just metal; he writes acoustic pieces, metal, gothic-influenced pieces...his versatility is amazing).

He sings.

He growls.
