This is a matter of opinion. Bob Dylan is a representative figure of the beat era. It can be said that he is an artist rather than a singer. He studies poetry deeply. It is said that he changed his name to Bob Dylan because he likes dylan thomas's poems. His lyrics have always been written in the form of poetry. Although it may be slightly inferior to Eliot, Heaney, Transtrom and others, it also spreads the truth more widely because of the combination of poetry and song. The beat generation has always appeared as a rebellious generation. The Nobel Prize awarded to Bob Dylan is a tribute and affirmation to that era. Of course, almost every Nobel Prize winner will cause controversy when he wins the prize, because everyone has his best writer and poet in his heart. Moreover, Nobel only represents the aesthetics and ideas of Nobel judges, not to say who they award is the best. Many Nobel Prize winners have been submerged.
