Well, I obviously love Dylan musically, I'm just saying his lyrics don't lend themselves as well to the music as a band like The Beatles do. I mean, they still work, they're just not nearly as cohesive. That's the only point I was making. Dylan's lyrics seem clumsy in a melodical format, whereas The Beatles' lyrics just blend perfectly with the music.

Dylan is an amazing lyricist, but the guys I mentioned earlier in this thread are just way ahead of him. A lot of people talk about Dylan as if no one can come close to his songwriting abilities, and I think that's slightly ridiculous.

"I'm so Tired" by The Beatles has better lyrics than any Dylan song.

"I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink
No, no, no

I'm so tired I don't know what to do
I'm so tired my mind is set on you
I wonder should I call you but I know what you would do

You'd say I'm puttin' you on
But it's no joke, it's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, I'm goin insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
for a little peace of mind

I'm so tired, I'm feelin' so upset
Although I'm so tired I'll have another cigarette
And curse Sir Walter Raleigh
He was such a stupid get

You'd say I'm puttin' you on
But it's no joke, it's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, I'm goin' insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
for a little peace of mind"
