Bob Dylan's accolades are unmatched in popular music. He is the only musician to have won the Nobel Prize in Literature, a testament to his lyrical genius. His 10 Grammy Awards span five decades, from Best New Artist in 1963 to Best Americana Album in 2016. He also earned an Oscar and a Golden Globe for his song 'Things Have Changed.' The Pulitzer Prize Board gave him a special citation in 2008, and President Obama awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. His induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 was followed by a second induction as a member of the Traveling Wilburys in 2007.
