And to once again display my barbaric roots, even though I can level valid musical criticism at Bob's listenability, I personally like his delivery. He gets more airtime in my car than any other three artists combined.
Further, Joan Baez. Brilliant voice. Wonderful singer. Love her!!!
But compare Joan's Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts to Bob's.
Not in the same street.
Bob gives us a full Western Movie starring---maybe---Clint Eastwood.
Joan gives us wishy-washy niceness.
Horses for courses.
Dylan does Dylan best.
Same as Leonard Cohen. Nobody, but nobody matches Cohen in the presentation of his own work.

I saw him get booed at the Newport Folk Festival when he went electric .
IMO he's the poet for our times .
His songs; his voice, our story .
