Better than Dylan. I'll die on that hill.

Well, I don't wish to die on any metaphorical hill, but certainly not one that concerns musical taste. The customer is always right in matters of taste.


I have my computer pretty much hard-blocked on all Meta properties, so I can't open those links. I listened to a few of his songs though. Sorry to say, I'm going to stick with Dylan. But to be fair, Dylan has a huge output and while he has a dozen or more songs that are works of genius, he also has hundreds of songs that range from good to mediocre to bad.

So which Jesse Wells songs grabbed you and why?

>> good to mediocre to bad

Even Beethoven wrote some things that he was ashamed of later!

I have notices that a lot of artists seem to peak young, then never quite get there again.  Well, that's probably true for most people's creative efforts.
