MADRID, Spain - Bob Dylan was awarded Spain‘s Prince of Asturias arts award, one of the country‘s most prestigious honors, Wednesday.
Dylan, 66, has been one of the most influential popular music artists in recent decades, and is regarded by many as a poet. His hits include "Blowin‘ in the Wind," "The Times They Are a-Changin‘," "Like a Rolling Stone" and "All Along the Watchtower."
"For this reason, his music and message have had an outstanding influence on several generations of young people."
His most recent recording, "Modern Times," on the Columbia Records label, entered the U.S. album charts at No. 1 one week after it was released in 2006.
Eight Prince of Asturias awards are given annually in categories including arts, science, sports and humanities to Spaniards and foreigners alike.
Last year‘s arts award was won by Spanish film director Pedro Almodovar.
Sony Music Label Group U.S. includes Columbia Records Group.

Bob Dylan is one of those rare artists, IMO (like the Rolling Stones) that are always great.
