Pic related and Dylan is what passes for poets in the land of the free

obviously

you gotta love your man

Take it easy baby, take it as it comes
Don't move too fast
If you want your love to last
You've been movin' much to fast

Go real slow
You'll like it more and more
Take it as it comes
Specialize in having fun

Other way around. Morrison was a mediocre lyricist

Jim Morrison was a pretentious retard. Nobody would give a fuck about him if he wasn't a turbo Chad

An American Prayer is fucking dope.
>Always be a word man, better than a bird man.

Dylan was a mediocre lyricist. Le folky ballad singer with hat and braces meme.

Morrison was a poet, here's the difference.

The Doors are and always will be my favourite band but Dylan writes better lyrics than Morrison. In saying that as basic as the doors lyrics are they are definitely enhanced by Morrison as a performer. Also
>pic related and Dylan is what passes for poets in the land of the free

Who claims they're poets? They're singers

Are you retarded? Dylan was friends with Allen Ginsberg and was one of the great Beats of the 60s. Morrison just rambled about his edgy undergrad-level understanding of Nietzsche and Freud, and acted like some kind of genius for it. If you think Morrison is good in any way you're either a woman or a closet fag.

Morrison is way more memey than Dylan, to be honest.

>in musical terms you're correct
Most music they released sound like demos.

> words>birds
hack poet detected

also 140iq=retard???

>Dylan was friends with Allen Ginsberg and was one of the great Beats of the 60s.

that's exactly why he's shit senpai

>beats "literature"

kek'd

I dunno guys, at home I have a book of poems by Dylan and a book of poem by Morrison. The one by Morrison is far better in my ruminated opinion, but maybe it's just my taste. What I can notice, above all, is that the poems by Dylan look excessively like prose (I never enjoyed that kind of epic long free verse) and the stories are trivial and memey. The poems by Morrison, on the opposite, are deep and introspective, in a style I definitely prefer. Also, again, Morrison didn't write his poems thinking about the music, while Dylan always wrote stuff as a function of guitar and harmonica.

>buying poetry books my musicians
honestly the most middlebrow shit imaginable, Leonard Cohen's books are also awful

Stick to real poets

>friends with Ginsberg
>closet fag for liking Morrison
lmao jokes write themselves

I also read real poets, so calm your ass down faggot

You're a retard who buys musicians poetry books so your opinion is invalid

yeah, sure!

>maybe it's just my taste
Exactly. I generally don't have the patience for Dylan's story-songs but thinking that what Morrison wrote is deep and introspective is beyond my comprehension.

>pretending to discuss the poetry of Dylan and Morrison
>never actually read their collections of poems because "meh dude real poets c'mon"
great wank desu

who cares man, they're both shite at the end of the day

I care, so I commented about it. And why did you post, may I ask?

We're talking about their lyrics not their poetry dumbshit

this

Robby and Ray (and John) were a bigger reason the doors were good musically than Jim.

>Stick to real Veeky Forums approved true scotspoets

Since when did Jim Morrison use Snapchat?

yeah man, just like Ringo was really the mastermind of the beatles

Nope. George was

Fuck you, Jim Morrison is a shaman

his mom used to cheat on his pops with a Sioux

Is that Aragon?

Did his dad lose his temper and scatter the Sioux on dawn's highway?

its viggo morgenstein

>not understand thats the point and they perfectly capture the essence of rock

Van the Man is better than both

Veeky Forums vocalists thread?

>capture the essence
spooky

was he bleeding. did ghosts crowd the child's young fragile eggshell mind?

My sides holy shit

hahahhahaha

Tbh Van's not a lyricist guy (only the first and third tracks are any good), it's all in the vocals.

Where can I check my iq

...

is that the weekend but less black?

What?

Is that aragorn

No one's gonna mention bobby krieger was the better lyricist in the doors? I am disapoint

Death makes angels of us all
and gives us wings
where we had shoulders
smooth as raven's
claws

Pretty sure Robert frost is what passes as a poet in America but sure ok

> Jim Morrison and Bob Dylan are considered poets in the United States of America. This is most certainly a provocative statement, please discuss.

If you are pining for illicit responses please phrase it correctly. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

>Stick to real poets
Gas yourself

Best lyricist of all time

Morrison's music is good, the books of poems he wrote are fucked.

He only wrote bubbly pop songs about love.

All of which I like, anyway.

>there's a killer on the road
>his brain is squirming like a toad

sorry if I wasn't Reddit enough

"I hear stories from the chamber
Christ was born into a manger
And like some ragged stranger
He died upon the cross
Might I say it seems so fitting in its way
He was a carpenter by trade
Or at least that's what I'm told
My killed hands tattooed E.V.I.L.
across it's brother's fist
That filthy five!
They did nothing to challenge or resist
In Heaven His throne is made of gold
The ark of His Testament is stowed
A throne from which I'm told
All history does unfold.
It's made of wood and wire
And my body is on fire
And God is never far away"

how the fuck did bob "stinky jew" dylan beat nick cave?
