The only reason Phil Ochs wasn't a chart-topper was because he was TOO controversial. Bob Dylan went along the lines of the mainstream rebellious youth of the 60s, while Phil Ochs was an actual extremist. He was every bit as clever as Bob Dylan and more--there is no better wit, satire, and sarcasm than in songs like "Love Me, I'm A Liberal", "Draft Dodger Rag", and "Outside Of A Small Circle Of Friends".

Phil Ochs was a unique voice and no-one wrote more perceptive songs than he did.
