We disagree. Dylan’s singing fits his genre, just as Louis Armstrong’s, who sang no better, fit his. I don’t want to hear Barbra Streisand, or Tony Bennett, who both “can sing”, sing Dylan. Listen to Dylan’s “Watching the River Flow”, a fairly rare recording from the 1970s. Who would you like to sing it better? The Four Seasons (remember Frankie Vallie?) once recorded an album of Dylan songs. I don’t remember it, except the single they released under the name of Wonder Who, (as if one had to wonder hearing Frankie) if I recall correctly, but I don’t want to hear it.

Dylan to me is kind of like Donald Fagen....You cannot possibly imagine anyone else singing any Steely Dan song than Fagen.....but of course I wouldn’t say that Fagen is that great of a signer...but his voice just has that right personality to match the lyrics.

Dylan CAN make a Beautiful noise but then sometimes he just sounds really bad.

I thought his best stuff was with the Traveling Wilburys still one of my most favorite Box Sets.
