i appreciate Dylan's songwriting, but that is it. i prefer covers to his versions. check out 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue'. by THEM.

his voice is grating and his lyrics can be great, but are often nonsense.

i like Joni Mitchell's take on him: https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/the-reason-joni-mitchell-hated-performing-with-bob-dylan/

'Furthermore, in 2013, Mitchell fired shots once more, this time while in discussion with CBC. She brutally commented, “Musically, Dylan’s not very gifted; he’s borrowed his voice from old hillbillies. He’s got a lot of borrowed things. He’s not a great guitar player. He’s invented a character to deliver his songs, it’s a mask of sorts”.'

(psst, Joni should win the Nobel--her lyrics are spectacular.)
