Fine material from Dylan: 'Chuck the Alien' (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bobbinet

'fine material' is the definition.

'dylan chuck the alien' is the wordplay.
'dylan' becomes 'bob' (Bob Dylan).
'chuck' becomes 'bin' ('bin' can be used as a verb).
'the alien' becomes 'et' (extra terrestrial).
'bob'+'bin'+'et'='BOBBINET'

'from' is the link.
