Daniel Johnston is a better songwriter than Bob Dylan. Both have a lot of songs and a lot of songs have been covered by a lot of different artists over the years and became standards. Most Dylan covers outright suck or are mediocre though and I don't even think Bob Dylans songs especially after the 60s and peak 70s period are all that great compared to Daniel and I barely heard a decent cover version of Dylan's songs. It's always garbage boomer sounding crap from Springsteen or CSN or something. The byrds only did decent covers of dylan
Cover songs are for talentless hacks, argument considered null and void, concession accepted.
That doesn't mean anything, it still shows how many people admire his songwriting
Shows how many losers who can't write songs are willing to pay a publishing fee to put them out in lieu of something they made themselves
I think it's more like being inspired and wanting to reinterpret the song in your own style. I mean you are right, a lot of covers are cop outs and whatnot but with Daniel you feel like it'd be interesting to see how a song turns out more polished or crafted
>fell for the dylan slumping into the 80's and 90's psyop
Ngmi
It's a shame he was discovered too late, after his brain was permanently destroyed by schiozphrenia and antipsychotics. Songs of Pain/Don't Be Scared era Daniel with a real studio and musicians at his fingertips could've created a masterpiece.
Yeah definitely..by the late 80s when he was really discovered his brain was fucked up and he was basically too far gone to create the shit he used to
Yeah Dylan is just CIA-funded nonsense
Best Daniel album? The first few are all great, primarily songs of pain, don't be scared, retired boxer, yip jump music
i don't really think i agree with you but i would much rather suffer through the worst of johnston than the best of dylan but i just fundamentally don't like dylan or resonate with him whereas i think johnston was beautiful
although the worst of johnston really is quite bad it's basically him yelling and while raw emotion very much is his selling point it doesn't make for pleasant listening
There are some really great covers of Dylan songs
What are some covers of Daniel Johnston songs I can compare with?
Dead covering Dylan
The discovered/covered covers album is a good one
Does anyone here know any albums like 1990? Doesn’t have to be from Daniel Johnston.
>some talentless schizo is better than the greatest songwriter of all time
Yeah ok you have me convinced.
>t. soulless
Pot kettle black. You’re utterly soulless if Dylan’s music doesn’t do anything for you. That’s his entire career I’m speaking of to, not choice songs from the 60s and 70s.
I’m not OP. I like both. Blood on the tracks is one of my favorite albums.
It’s a shame Daniel Johnston didn’t an hero and get his own blood on the tracks. The only good schizo is a dead schizo.
Wishing for the death of mentally ill people seems like quite a mentally ill thing to do
No it’s not. I have a superior intellect and level of sanity to these degenerates. The voice of God told me so.
Take your meds weirdo
It was a joke you total retards. The irony was claiming to be sane whilst hearing voices.
This confirms definitively Daniel Johnston fans are morons.
Lol I was only pretending to be retarded. You're a cringy fucking homosexual. Probably a zoomer I'm guessing. You're sense of humor is garbage. It's just gay as fuck
Fuck off and go listen to your shitty garbage hip hop you homosexual nagger. Fuck death grips. People like you and the people above I quoted are so embarrassing
It's a shame you don't off yourself. Psychopaths like you need a bullet
LOL. Acts like a schizo yet hates schizo. Some psychologically fucked up shit going on here. Freud would have a field day with you. You need help or to just commit suicide. No one likes megalomaniac kind of people like you and there's no place in this world for them
i thought the bait got too obvious there but i guess not.
Peak midwit hours
Lol his songs all sound the same. I bet you're one of those retards that thinks Desolation Row or Sad Eyed Lady is a masterpiece. I get bored and shut those off after 3 minutes..it's repetitive as fuck..Daniels songs I can listen to over and over again
a literal talentless hack
People only heard of Daniel Johnston because they saw Kurt Cobain wearing a T-shirt of one of his album covers.
Good. He needed exposure wherever he can get it
Story of an artist makes me cry
It's beautiful as well as other songs like Cold Hard World
