Hands down. Every artist influences and is influenced, but all those listed here will acknowledge that Dylan is the one most influencing all the others. Considering the breadth of his music as well, there is really no other comparison. Bob Dylan. Hands down.

They woke up the youth of the world to their togetherness. Read the statements of the Soviets and their love of the Beatles. They cracked the wall of the world's largest ever dictatorship. Those who can remember back know how impossible it all seemed that the Soviet Union could be brought down non-violently. It was and it was in a large part because of the greatest band, The Beatles.

They influenced Dylan too, allowing him to return to his rock roots and thus breaking into the public consciousness in a much larger fashion. The Beatles influenced everyone, and were so massively popular everywhere in the world that they created a lot of the cultural space by which the sixties zeitgeist flourished.

The Beatles were not the same boys who wanted to hold your hand after listening to Dylan. Lennon was very up front about that. This one isn't even close, I'm afraid.

No question about it. The Beatles even thought so. He was their biggest influence, as well. He helped them grow up. Before they met Bob, they were a teeny-bopper sensation. After meeting Bob, they became they most potent band on the planet. But Bob kept going, while the Beatles couldn't handle the pressure and broke up. And here we are, almost 50 years later, and Bob is still going, still influencing, still producing music worth listening to. BOB DYLAN.

This rebellious hero from America was a potent threat to controlling the masses and was viewed as a menace in the States also, but for different reasons, there he was considered a threat to the moral fabric of society. Then he got drafted as was used as a weapon against communism donning the army fatigues and being musically very influential. In Soviet Russia his records were pressed on discarded x rays and sold on the blackmarket. After that he became an all round entertainer but he was the first major impact on the wall, westernizing the world through music. Guess the commies were correct to feel threatened.
