Townes Van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world, and I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Bob Dylan is quite a songwriter, and a great singer and musician. I won't bother with comparing myself to him, but I will say that I heard his records at a very young age and I still listen to all his records.
I think everyone mentions Bob Dylan, but he's someone I just admire so much as a songwriter. I think people write songs, and then there's Bob Dylan songs. He's one step ahead of just everybody else.
Well, I love Bob Dylan, let's make that clear. He's one of my musical heroes.
Bob Dylan is great. I've been compared to him a lot. I think when people see a person on stage with a guitar they just think, 'Bob Dylan!'
If I wasn't Bob Dylan, I'd probably think that Bob Dylan has a lot of answers myself.
I honestly don't class myself as a songwriter. I've got 'musician' written on my passport. That's even funnier.
I thought he was the greatest thing. Bob Dylan.
Anyone who takes the craft of songwriting seriously I radiate towards. Spending time with Daryl Hall was a dream come true. I picked his brain a lot because Hall And Oats is timeless.
I rate Morrissey as one of the best lyricists in Britain. For me, he's up there with Bryan Ferry.
I can't stand Bob Dylan.
