Bob Dylan October 29, 2012

Bob Dylan's influence on popular music is incalculable. As a songwriter, he pioneered several different schools of pop songwriting, from confessional singer/songwriter to winding, hallucinatory, stream-of-conscious narratives. As a vocalist, he broke down the notions that in order to perform, a singer had to have a conventionally good voice, thereby redefining the role of vocalist in popular music. As a musician, he sparked several genres of pop music, including electrified folk-rock and country-rock. That's just the tip of the iceberg in the legendary career of the Grammy-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer who is currently touring to support his latest studio album, 'Tempest.'
