I was about to say that anyone caught torturing a woman by forcing her to listen to Bob Dylan sing SHOULD be arrested!
He's got some good stuff. Unfortunately it seems like all his good songs were good when other people sang them (My Back Pages, The Mighty Quinn, All Along the Watchtower, Mr. Tamborine Man). I still like his "Knocking on Heaven's Door" more than GNR's version.
Dylan was/is a masterful poet. He grew up in an age when poets sang, not gave readings, so he adapted and became one himself.
He chose to adopt the name of a poet, Dylan Thomas, not a musician, although Thomas was a poet that used words as music.
Dylan’s genius is in the lyrics, not the music.
