David Bowie famously described Dylan's distinctive, creaky warble as "sand and glue. "Dylan's voice has gotten noticeably worse over the years too, making his 21st century concerts nearly unbearable: "On a good day, he sounds like a chain-smoking blues man celebrating his 100th birthday. On a bad day, he sounds like a bullfrog gargling broken glass, Vanity Fair's Mike Hogan eloquently complained." Dylan actually sings in tune but his harsh, barbed-wire timbre & attacking delivery has been inspiration for every tone deaf poet with a guitar. So what makes Dylan great? His songwriting, of course. And his ballads are best when presented as poetry — or when someone else is singing them. ;) [/QUOTE]
