Bob Dylan.

[Casey]

Makes good music...

That answer my friend is blowing in the wind...

Concure?

I've been listening to alot of the tracks on 'The Essential'. Pretty good stuff.

Now take me dissapearing through the smoke rings of my mind
the foggy ruins of time
far past the frozen leaves
the haunted frightened trees
down to the windy beach
far past the reach of crazy sorrow.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

He can't sing.

[nik0tine]

But his lyrics make up for it.

He's probably the greatest musician to have lived in the 20th century.

[themagicroundabout]

I do enjoy a bit of Bob Dylan every once in a while.

[TheAbominatrix]

I love Dylan. Love the sound of his voice, his lyrics, all of it.

My favorite song of his is probably Subterrain Homesick Blues.

[Kirobaito]

As a troubadour, I respect Bob Dylan immensely for his work and innovation. As a songwriter he accomplished many important things in the conception of modern folk music in the 60's, building on the work of Phil Ochs and Woody Guthrie. That said, I really just don't like his voice at all. But a superb songwriter and important part of modern music.

[a nirvana fan]

Bob Dylan is my hero. He writes great songs

[marc]

Bob Dylan is my hero. He writes great songs

yeah, but he's not as cool as Bono.

(sarcasm, please don't hurt me)

[theundeadhero]

I enjoy his music. I ought to buy one of his records instead of just CDs.

[fire_of_avalon]

He can't sing.

Word.

But his lyrics make up for it.

I disagree based on a lot of things.

Phil Ochs is so cool.

[Leeza]

This is one artist that I absolutely cannot listen to. It doesn't matter to me how great his lyrics are or what he's accomplished in his career because sound is more important to me and he doesn't have any.

[nik0tine]

Am I alone when I say that Dylans version of All Along the Watchtower is superior to Jimi's?

[TheAbominatrix]

I like Dylan's version a lot, but I do prefer Hendrix's.

[Cz]

Dylan has about a dozen fantastic songs, and a bunch of mediocre ones. I don't mind his voice that much, and at his best he's a superb lyricist, but he's not quite the legend some make him out to be.
