I've grown a new appreciation for #BobDylan as I've gone through this list. As expected, he has a LOT of entries on this list, and I only listened to a few before I started this voyage. So far, I've been pleased the Rolling Stone voting committee's selections. He's a world-renowned songwriter for a reason, even a schlub like me can see this.
Which is why I'm so disappointed with π πΌπ±π²πΏπ» π§πΆπΊπ²π (#204). #music (cont)

There's ten tracks on this album, all between 5 and 8 minutes long, and all with piles and piles of lyrics. Each of these tracks had 8-10 verses, if not more, and nary a chorus amongst them. It almost feels like this was his application to the Nobel Committee, showcasing what a great lyricist he is. I found them uninteresting, like a high-school required reading assignment, and there's no ππ₯πͺπ°π΅'π΄ ππΆπͺπ₯π¦ to help you out. (cont)
