But one thing doesn't... Glenn Hughes. I have never ever understood the popularity of that guy in the D-list rock circles.

I guess Hughes is renowned by association. He had his time with Deep Purple, Sabbath, and that meteoric comeback single with KLF.

For those who can't remember, KLF was HUGE back in the day, and the collaboration bought Hughes good-will and industry credit to burn.

It's amazing how much money the record industry is willing to spend on a piss-take on themselves.

Dylan's songwriting destroys Berry's songwriting and pretty much everyone else's songwriting in the last 60 years. There are very few in his league from that standpoint. As far as the before and after thing goes,

Dylan isn't the one most people bring up. It's usually Elvis or the Beatles.

As far as electronic music goes, again you seem to be bringing up musical sounds instead of songwriting.

Go listen to Masters of War and tell me it didn't take huge balls to write a song with those lyrics in the 1960's. That's the type of shit that gets you assassinated.
