Bob Dylan wins Nobel Literature Prize
Aside from Dylan's lyrics being fantastic in and of themselves, what's hard to separate them from isn't really the musical accompaniment but the singing. The lyrics and his voice are one.

Super biased. Why not give the prize to musicians outside the English speaking word for a change? Its like the Swedes are not even aware that there exists a world outside of Europe and the US.
Anyhow, congrats to Bob Dylan.

Is this your idea of humor, or are you just profoundly ignorant?
Anyhow, congrats to Bob Dylan.

I love Dylan so I'm delighted he got this. Firmly in the 'lyrics can be poetry' camp. Biassed? Probably.
For what its worth, my favourite album is Blood on the Tracks, with Lily Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts my favourite song.

As to Dylan, if his songs aren’t poetry I don’t know what is.
Literature is written works. That applies to songwriting too. I always say that I’ve learned & memorized more poetry from Beatles songs than any poet I’ve ever studied.
