Dylan's first lp came out in 62. He made great records in the 70s. Same with the 80s. Shot of Love is good and contains his greatest song, Every Grain of Sand, twenty years into his career. Infidels is outstanding, esp considering he left off Blind Willie McTell and Foot of Pride. It dwarfs Born in the USA, which contains plenty of weak songs. Empire Burlesque is great and even the awful Knocked Out Loaded has Brownsville Girl. He wrote the tremendous Tweeter and the Monkey Man for the Traveling Wilbury's. That song is a hilarious spoof of Springsteen cliches. Dylan's Oh Mercy sessions produced a variety of classics. In 97 he released Time Out of Mind, over thirty five years into his career. He followed that with Love and Theft, also great. His later albums have gems like Ain't Talking on them, not to mention songs as great as Can't Escape From You, which he left off an official release.
I love Bruce from 72-84 but he doesn't compare to Dylan. Or Paul Simon who released Graceland nearly 25 years into his career. The Stones have a far deeper catalogue than Bruce.
Bruce is an energetic performer and people love what he represents. But try listening to a cd of one of his three hour shows. You can't finish it. They're a bore. You need to be there. And that song was really bad. So was the video. I was embarrassed for those people.
Just my point of view...
