Bob Dylan: Modern Music Is Rubbish

He calls it atrocious...

August 23, 2006 by Daniel Melia

Bob Dylan has hit out at the standard of modern music labelling it “atrocious” and “worth nothing”.

Dylan says he hasn’t heard a decent album in the past twenty years while he also lamented the arrival of CDs.

He told The Rolling Stone: "You listen to these modern records, they're atrocious, they have sound all over them. I don't know anybody who's made a record that sounds decent in the past 20 years.”

On new technology he added: “CDs are small, there's no stature to it,” while his view on illegal music downloading were: "Well, why not? It ain't worth nothing anyway".

We wonder if he included the eight studio albums he’s made himself in the past twenty years in those comments.
