B, Dylan

It's typical for people to say that Bob Dylan wasn't much of a singer. While that MAY be true to a certain extent, his talent for emotion fueled lyrics and genious song writing can not be overlooked. I discovered Bob by the track "Boots Of Spanish Leather" alone, and I later searched through his discography and found many amazingly crafted pieces. I can feel his pain, I can somehow relate. It's a shame that music has taken such a drastic turn for the worst. It's artists like Bob Dylan that give me hope for a better future. I whole-heartedly recommend him for fans of folk, and music lovers in general.

Well what can one say about Bob Dylan that already hasn't been said. He is certainly a poet that has created music of an astounding lyrical content, originality and beauty. I have heard criticisms that 'he can't sing' or 'his voice is awful & too croaky'. Yet my answer to that is listen to the man's lyrics and raw beauty. Ok he might not have the most polished voice, but there is plenty of people out there who can sing all the notes but make such utter garbage music. The man has created some of the most poignant, moving and beautiful popular music of the last century that he is required & essential listening. For me Dylan's best period as an artist was when he created Highway 61 Revisited / Blonde On Blonde (my favourite Dylan album) & Blood On The Tracks. He has of course made many great albums but this was his peak in my humble opinion. A true poet & incredible lyricist who happened to make great music as well.
