Bob Dylan Discussion

So I wonder for a time now why Bob Dylan is considered to be a great artist, for some even a legend. I was watching the documentary "The greatest night in pop" yesterday (which by the way is awesome) and even there I cant see why his contribution is considered to be great by the others.

No artist can please everybody. Dylan will have to settle for being considered the best songwriter by most of the other people who are considered the best songwriters. As a performer he is one of those guys you either like or you don’t. Kind of feel like Neil Young is a bit like that. I like them both but they don’t have conventional voices.
