I don't know about "most important", but I'd certainly say one of the most influencial.

As for the Beatles, Lennon initially couldn't stand Dylan but eventually envied the freedom Dylan had-- to say whatever he wanted, not care about image (remember, this is while the Beatles were still your styled-up mop top teenie boppers). Of course, things soon changed. Lennon's "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" is a blatant rip off of Dylan-- and a great song.


Interesting anecdote-- When Dylan met the Beatles for the first time (1965?) he told them how he really liked the song "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and especially the line "I get high.....", (which of course is really "I can't hide"). This meeting was also the Beatles' first encounter with marijauna.

For the EP'ers out there - you may not want to play this during church but there's a part of me that would like to hear it...
