The Rolling Stones influenced all rock music after them, says Bob Dylan.
Bob Dylan has sung the praises of The Rolling Stones, it has been reported.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, the legendary singer-songwriter said that the ageing rockers are not finished, although he claimed that they are just a "funk band" without the services of former bassist Bill Wyman.
He continued: "The Rolling Stones are truly the greatest rock and roll band in the world and always will be. The last too."
Dylan explained that music which followed the Stones, singling out metal, rap, punk, new wave and pop-rock, can be traced to their influence and said "no one's ever done it better", the newspaper revealed.
In the interview, the musician also spoke about the song This Dream of You on his upcoming album Together Through Life.
He revealed the track was inspired by the sound of the 50s and 60s, which he suggested could be the "last great age of real music" as everything after involved too much input from computers.
Last month, the Los Angeles Times published a less complimentary article on the musician, claiming neighbours of his Malibu mansion have been complaining about the smell of his portable toilet.
