Cash eclipses Dylan. Cash is one of only two musicians in both 
the country and rock halls of fame. Cash has Dylan in decades o' 
influence, five to four. Cash helped *found* rock & roll, for 
chrissake. 

Don't get me wrong -- I love His Bobness, but Cash vs. Dylan is a 
blowout. And I bet Bob would agree.

Dave, surprised that the rockcrit in Neal didn't nominate Zack 
"Frenzy" Sanders of the Tiny Rocket Men From Idaho -- who we all 
know had a very important garage rock single in 1965 that briefly 
charted in Greenland -- as the most influential pop musician of the 
20th century....
