Single Most Influential 20th Century Pop Musician

[Brad Bechtel]

Blah blah Bob Dylan's the single most influential pop musician in the 20th century. 
Hands down.

Not even close. Bob Dylan's more influential than Bing Crosby?  Than Frank Sinatra?  
Than Louis Armstrong? Than Hank Williams?  Than Jimmie Rodgers? Than Elvis Presley?

He's definitely one of the top influences in popular music, no argument there.  If 
you'd said "folk musician" or "rock musician" I might agree.  But I would argue that 
any of the above are more influential to the development of American based popular 
music than Dylan.
