Reading this is like when you have your headphones half-plugged in and random audio tracks of the mix are missing.

Are you kidding? You could argue that he invented rock and roll. And a lot of his lyrics are far more clever than Dylan's weird stream-of-consciousness rants. Does Dylan have a song better than "Johnny B. Goode"? Certainly not one more important.

Just saw this and Chuck Berry is the shit and all but I can't let this nonsense go unanswered.

Like a Rolling Stone > Johnny B Goode, in every way.

It's certainly not unreasonable to like "Like A Rolling Stone" more than you like "Johnny B. Goode". I feel that way myself. But part of that is because "Johnny B. Goode" is so basic and such a prototype that I've heard it so many times and in countless different songs. "Johnny" is a framework for so much popular music that follows. It's questionable whether "Like A Rolling Stone" could even exist if "Johnny" hadn't come first.

Agreed, same goes for subterranean homesick blues, tangled up in blue, the times they are a changing, A hard rain a gonna fall, girl from north country, shelter from the storm and 20 other tracks.

If you ask Bob Dylan who the greatest lyricist is, he'd say Smokey Robinson, called him " best poet of our lifetime "

I love Dylan, but I'm not sure I would choose "Subterranean Homesick Blues" as the hill I want to die on. And "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" is Dylan's "My Ding-a-Ling."
