But see, I'm not going for that machismo tough crazy guy bullshit. That's why I made a board about who'd win in a fight. This is more how you shout out how some singer/songwriter type is the fucking man, to let them know that you're not some fuckin' pansy.
Kinda like those guys who get pissed when you say Morrissey's gay.
This board was inspired by hearing Ted Leo hit "Billie Jean" level high notes on "Timorous Me" and thinking, "This guy is the fuckin' MAN!"

Looking back at those criteria, really, maybe Jarvis should be on the list.

fuck that, ye curd toppings... Dylan could singlehandeldy beat all of them up. Old or not.
Someone should start writing Bob Dylan jokes just like they have for Chuck Norris. If there'll be no takers, i might have to step up to the plate.

Bob Dylan can barely fucking talk anymore. The only thing still cool about the old fucker is his mustache. He was a JOKE answer. Riley, get the fuck in here and vote Malkmus.

I currently have a houseful of people and am drunk to the tits, and am just here because they've taken a break from other shit to watch some Saturday Night Live shit I have no itnerest in - but jesus christ, can we please stop pretending like Dylan is even a fucking option here? He's not.
I don't care how much you like his new album... it's just time to come to terms with the fact that, despite how good and important and vital his music was back in the day (and I'm not denying how great it was, by any means), the music he's making now is NOT more important or more interesting than other shit that's come out in the last 10 years. Seriously. It's not.
It's just frustrating because, as much as I just don't care for Jack White or whoever else, they at least still have a credible claim to this title. Dylan just shoudln't.
Sorry, I just had to get that out. G'night.

Jack White has a perfectly reasonable claim to being the man.

Why shouldn't Dylan be 'the man'? What have all the other choices proved beyond having a loyal fanbase and some good releases between them? Dylan owns them, each and every one. What has Jack White more than Dylan- a good uppercut? Meg has more claim of being 'the man' than Jack as she's less of a jackass and infintely more cooler.
The adjective behind Dylan's name in the poll just shows that the poller thinks it to be a joke- how can an old fart like Dylan be 'the man'? Well, as the poll shows, he still kicks everyone's ass! L-O-fuckn-L!

Yes, Dylan has had a finer career than anyone else on the list. But I think the question is, who is the man right now? At this exact moment, Bob Dylan is not the man.

Modern Times = better than Raconteurs.
Dies ergo: Dylan's da man!

If you're going to use that logic, then anyone who's most recent album is better than Modern Times is the man over Dylan. Are you claiming that Modern Times is the best current album by anyone?

FUCK Dylan. He's no more the man these days than Hendrix or Beethoven. He can't even fucking talk anymore. I have no clue what tricks they used to make him sound louder than a buzzing mosquito on his new album, because he's shit these days.
Yeah, he's a legend. But I'll be goddamned if he's done anything in the last twenty five years half as good as anything that Pavement, the White Stripes, Beck, or Will Oldham did. Fuck that shit.
He was a joke answer on a smarmy thread. He was basically what you picked when you meant, "Oh shit, guess I don't listen to music anymore."
Anyways, I'm full of wine and coming off way meaner than I should on a thread like this. I love you all, now go listen to the new Lemonheads. Except you, Layla, go listen to some 100% Fun.
