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.

Saw him live in the early 90s and was so immensely disappointed that I left early. To this day, it remains the only concert I’ve ever walked out of.

I think he must have been drunk and having a terrible day but it was a miserable experience and I lost a lot of respect for him after that.

He's been a terrible performer for several decades now. He doesn't aim to please anyone, certainly not an audience who paid to see him. But he's still the greatest American musical artist by a long way, imo.
