Old folk guy you should love putting his ballads out there reforming lyrical writing for what's to come. Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde both great albums.

Tired of people always hating on his voice. He didn't have the best voice but it worked. It's not about how your voice sounds on the surface, its about the feeling that is within. There are plenty of untalented people on America who have a voice that sounds better than Dylan's on the surface, but does that make them better singers? No. Individuality counts for something, and having a unique voice means a lot. And like I said, the emotion and the sincerity that you put into your music is what counts the most. And Dylan had a lot of that

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

As for his voice, it couldn't sound, keeping in mind his voice progressed with the true persona of the ages, even slightly different to be as powerful.

Not to be an ASSumptive individual, or even place an opinion in the form of fact, but if ever a circumstance were to arise in which I feel so strongly justified in doing so, this would be it. Every, and I don't take the word lightly, musician, songwriter, even artist alike can be considered a swimmer. Each is using whatever stroke suits their liking, yet each are swimming in the same direction, however indirect, in even desperate attempts to get to the shore of an island on which the population, to this day, is 1. His name is Robert Zimmerman. The island is known as Truth. Be it True inspiration, True innovation, True to the times, or True art, I don't feel it is too bold to say Bob holds the deed to such descriptions.

It is what it is.

Fight through it man. As you can tell, lots of people wanna see me, including myself.

This video of Dylan performing Tangled Up In Blue during the Rolling Thunder tour of 1974 should put to rest any complaints that the man can't sing. Look at the intensity of his facial expressions & listen to the raw emotions he conveys with his singing.

Bob Dylan is one of the best musicians that has been around for some time. I love his music and wish more years of great music to make.

Def an idol...the lyrics, his own voice he found and style...and great great songs and songwriting !!

Nothing but respect. I don't listen to him that much, but one has to respect the guy.

What can I say ,what a fantastic thread, reading all theses posts just fantastic ,I have 45 dylan albums , my favourite is Blood on the tracks, followed by Blond on Blond, my all time favourite song is desolation row.

If John Lennon wasn't ever born then i think this guy would be the best songwriter who ever lived. Blowing in the wind is a master piece.
