Relevance

In a carrer that spans half a cenutrey it is amazing how a many can stay so relevant. Although Dylan has had his rough patches in his carer he always seems to find himself in the front of the music world. Just recently i was reading an article about the best albums of the decade by newsweek and it voted Love and Theft number two album. Also in a similar article in RollingStone it voted Love and Theft number 11 and Modern Times number 8 making him the only artist to have two albums in the top 15 of the decade. In an era were popular music seems to be manily hip hop, rap, and form of pop rock Dylan has been able to make great albums that people take notice. Not only did he albums included in the best of the decade but he won two Grammys for his work he did for Modern Times. Its not everyday you see a 65 year old staying relevant in the music world, but Dylan is the one that can do it. And he does it better than anyone else. The Rolling Stones and The Who have tried hard but the music is flat and the only way they keep relevant is by touring and playing their hits. As someone who saw Dylan a couple years ago I can say that he only played four songs that werent from Modern Times and one was the encore i would like to see the Stones do that. Not that i do love the music of those bands but they just havent had the success that Dylan has been able to have in the studio the past couple of years. In an industry were the biggest name in music can all of dissapear just a few years later Dylan has been able to prove why he is the greatest artist of all time because he is the one that can stay relevant to fans new and old.
