Chuck Norris knows martial arts but meatloaf is only good for meals. Another overrated band is The Pretenders, who only had one song worth listening to, which is why Rush Limbaugh uses it. An under appreciated song writer is Bob Dylan. Sure he was a lousy singer, but what a great song writer. Listen to Grateful Dead cover his “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” with Garcia doing the vocals. Great song, great live cover. Ditto for “All Along The Watchtower” with Weir dong the vocals; best version of this song by anyone.
Under appreciated by who?
He's been considered the best since "Freewheeling" and gets his due.
I don’t think Dylan is a lousy singer. He has a very distinctive voice. Was listening to him sing “Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll” live in England (1964 or 1965) on DVD recently and was blown away with his vocals. I think he is under appreciated as a songwriter because of the fact that his lyrics are pretty deep.
Both Dylan and Garcia do Baby Blue justice.
