Musician, not at all. I do find him to be the greatest lyricist of all time however. Dylan has the ability to write a scene that one can actually envision and interpret within their head, a task that only a few artists are able to do.

Musician? No. Guitarist? Not even.
Bob Dylan rose to our consciousness through his lyrics and messages. He has been called the Poet of Our Generation in the past, but never anything close to your assertions, and for good reason.

he changed the way we listened to music. His lyrics had a lot to do with with the 60s movement. He is an icon, but not in the top 10 greatest artists of all time.

Elvis Aaron Presley is unquestionably the greatest artist of all time. Dylan is a great songwriter, but that's all, he lacks everything else, so he's very far from being the greatest. I can't deny his impact on music though.

Musician? No. Song writer? Top 10.
Paul McCartney and David Bowie played more instruments than he did, and very well. Neil Young always has a harmonica in his mouth and a guitar in his hands when on stage.

possibly between the great lyricists, yet absolutely no longer a great musician. song does no longer matter upon words, yet tones, rhythm and dynamics(volume, and so on). there are a variety of of excellent musicians obtainable and really some tremendous ones. To me, the definition of a great musician is one it extremely is familiar with the thanks to make an total composition out of disparate resources and kinds. i'm sorry that i will not arise with a good social gathering.

No. He is ONE of the greatest songwriters of all time.He is not a great musician though. He writes music that compliments his stories.

I wouldn't call him the greatest musician. Greatest songwriter, defiantly.
