Both are chilean and play traditional folk, the "nueva cancion" in latin america emerged mainly in Argentina, Chile and Cuba, its lyrical content was 100% political, and social related thanks to the political situation of those countries at the time (yay, Nixon) and it definitely had a left-wing tendency
The style has been cited as one of their main influences by guys like Dylan, Baez or Springsteen, one of Baez most popular songs, "Gracias a la Vida" is from Violeta Parra and one of the most important folk songs in latin america

think the freewheelin is very political, although you are right jamie, the major hype came about a year later, though Blowin in the wind on freewheelin is about as protest as they come.

When people talk about Dylan influencing hip hop I think they mean mostly "Subterranean Homesick Blues" - he is arguably rapping there.
Also while I think nobody denies that Dylan wasn't too original (musically) during his folk period it's hard for me to think of anything that could have preceeded his electric period. I mean, to my best knowledge Highway 61 and Blonde were absolute revolutions.

"Animals > this"
Agreed, but I have both 5'd because I fail to see a flaw in either.

Grew up with a lot of Bob Dylan and I appreciate him for his lyrics, but I never could stand his voice nor did I ever really care for most of his guitar work. Love when an artist I like covers one of his songs though.
PJ Harvey's version of "Highway '61 Revisited" and Jimi's "All Along the Watchtower are both amazing. RHCP's version of "Subterranean Homesick Blues" is pretty decent too.

I've always considered Dylan's work closer to poetry rather than music, I think the same about most rap
|

A lot of rap has sick beats behind it though.

It's never a good thing when the prog thread regulars start talking about rap.
|
| |
prog is dead anyway so what's the problem

"It's never a good thing when the prog thread regulars start talking about rap."
Getting prog thread regulars to talk about rap and hip-hop can only be a good thing tbh.

Ocean knows what I mean. It's because people start saying shit like that.

Don't see anything wrong with that statement tbh

It sort of implies that rap is a lesser form of music. I don't know if that's how you meant it, but people say similar things when they're trying to write off the genre.

Nah, It's not what I meant, I admit that I don't like rap that much but I have tons of respect for it, I say it cause its strong point is on the lyrics rather than the music which in many cases will only be simple beats or samples and stuff like that, which very few cases of real instrumental display or something like that, there are exceptions though
|
| |
Rap has evolved a shitload though, and many of its subgenres do focus more so on the music now. Just so you know for future reference.
