📜Event🎶 [MEGATHREAD] New Face of the Subreddit: Bob Dylan
You voted, and we listened! Following the poll announced a few weeks back for which new artist we should post instead of metal, Minnesota singer-songwriter Bob Dylan has come out victorious with a whopping total of 50 votes, moving ahead of New York City outfit Swans who landed at a total of 45 votes. As a result, this subreddit is now officially a Bob Dylan meme page and will only allow Bob Dylan posts starting today. Any posts relating to metal "music" or metal "culture" will be promptly removed.
To celebrate, we have also chosen his thirty-first studio output "Love and Theft" as our album of the week, coinciding with its 25th anniversary today. Discuss below what you like about this release as well as other works by Mr. Dylan that you enjoy.
That's all for now. Happy Dylanposting!
P.S: And all you got damn metalheads who still listen to that noisy devil shit can just keep moving, this subreddit ain't for you. Get outta here. Scat!

Dylan is proto-metal in that he opened the door for folks with terrible voices to be singers

That sub is so awful, it's literally a bunch of 15 year olds who post about dad rock

We should place bets on how many "whats your favourite megadeath album" threads there will be next week.

Wow, I'm really gonna need to read up on who Bob Dylan is. My history books back in school didn't go that far back.

Why aren’t we posting metal in a metal subreddit?

TL;DR: metal is washed, listen to good music
