Although to be quite honest, I love Bob's voice. I'm not saying that from the old "it conveys emotion" nonsense, I feel that certainly in his later albums it really fits his music perfectly. There's the worn down, haggard sense of fatigue in "Can't Stop" and "Cold Irons Bound" from Time Out Of Mind, and later from Modern Times, songs like "When The Deal Goes Down" have a worldly wise feeling that he's lived through the "disappointment and pain" and has "worn the same thorny crown".
Nope, I think Bob Dylan's voice is fine on aesthetic grounds as well.
