Panic at the Disco's Secret Influences

Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde

Ryan Ross, the band's guitarist and primary songwriter, says the first time he heard "I Want You" from Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde, "it caught my ear and I just put it on repeat a bunch of times. It's kind of a dreamy song, and really melodic for Bob Dylan — at least in that time." Ross expained he looked to Dylan for literary influence because he was "fascinated by how [Dylan] could be so smart, but really funny and clever."
