Usually I would have voted for Pink Floyd, as I'm a big fan of their earlier years. But the chance to see Bob Dylan coming last in a poll of 60s music prompted me to give Cream a much-deserved vote.

Paul Simon is one of my favorite lyricists—far superior, in my opinion, to Lennon or McCartney. Simon and Garfunkle's music is very competent and the vocal harmonies are refreshing. They also play with form in some very interesting ways. The Beatles had a knack for experimentation, which is their main asset. Unfortunately, with Lennon's chrome-wounds on his guitar as well as some other factors, they often sound stagnant. Their songwriting is decent but not amazing, to my aesthetic, and they are often overplayed and overrated. That's not to say they aren't a great group, but forced with the decision to choose between them and Simon and Garfunkle, I choose the latter.

You don't just not like The Doors. I argue that anyone who says they don't really like The Doors that much simply needs to listen to more Doors. |

To me Bob Dylan is easily one of America's greatest songwriters.

Amazing with words, amazing with ideas. Tasteful with music. He embodies the whole spirit and life of the 60's counterculture. I don't really know how else to explain, all you have to do is put on any classic record of his and it's all there in the words and music. But it's the kinda stuff you gotta reaaally get into. Maybe that's why people don't dig it? I can certainly see how if someone puts on a Dylan record and expects to get instantly wow'd they'd walk away thinking "he's not that good at singing OR guitar..." but if you really pay attention, the genius is all there.

I love the Doors, but even i say their sound is a bit monotonous.
