Dylan was a bad singer

I didn’t hear any bad singing on “Knockin on Heavens Door” or “Lay Lady Lay” or “Hurricane” or “Tangled up in blue” or….

Bob Dylan's voice was almost irrelevant to Bob Dylan "the phenomenon".

It was what he said, and how he said it, that made him worthy of having biopics made about him.

Hot take *eye roll*

But better than me, so I can listen up.

He's my favourite rock vocalist. Maybe i like Mark E Smith a little more. Call it a toss-up.

Yeah, his voice is ugly (sometimes - not always! listen to the records from the late 60s/early 70s). But he's a rocker, not a crooner, and there's a world of difference between having a great voice and having a great ROCK voice. & rock music is often at its best when it's ugly & raw.

Dylan's vocals are one of my favourite things in the world, period.

At his peak (Another Side through Blonde on Blonde), he possessed an almost inhuman sense of timing - just listen to the way he makes the phrase "Tax deductable charity organization" sound like the most natural and flowing line ever uttered in Ballad of a Thin Man. Or listen to the way he gets the punch-lines across in Leopard-skin Pill-box Hat - comedians hone their craft for years in order to sound so effortless and natural.

He has an interesting and unique singing voice.

I went to a motorcycle race once where the stadium had such a great P.A. system that when they played a Bob Dylan CD at intermission I could understand every word he sang.

He is like Neil Young in that regard.
