Bob Dylan says modern music is worthless.....
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Bob Dylan says modern recordings sound "atrocious," and even the songs on his new album sounded much better in the studio than on disc.
"I don't know anybody who's made a record that sounds decent in the past twenty years, really," the 65-year-old rocker said in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine.
Dylan, who released eight studio albums in that time, returns with his first recording in five years, "Modern Times," next Tuesday.
Noting the music industry's complaints that illegal downloading means people are getting their music for free, he said, "Well, why not? It ain't worth nothing anyway."
"You listen to these modern records, they're atrocious, they have sound all over them," he added. "There's no definition of nothing, no vocal, no nothing, just like ... static."
Dylan said he does his best to fight technology, but it's a losing battle.
"Even these songs probably sounded ten times better in the studio when we recorded 'em. CDs are small. There's no stature to it."

...well of a matter of course, if Bob has something to say, we listen. But with out examples, it's like wine -go with what you like. I mean when did rock come of age and then go over the hill?
Bob, after that i wanna know more. Or maybe you were having a "crankyday". I have a few a those...
word.... I wonder how his son feels about that... beings as he's a musician and all.
oh dylan.
we will lose him soon and we will all be sad. But he doe have a point. the rado hasn't thrown us anything decent in a loooong time. however...Dylan did ask the Eels to play "girl from the north country" on their recent tour.
and no matter how bitchy bobby gets, i am still excited to hear his new tracks.
my fav dylan song..."you gotta serve somebody"
