I know in class different people have mixed feelings on Bob Dylan, and I would definitely have to say I do not like his music, but mainly I just generally do not like his voice. I think it sounds kind of scratchy and out of tune, and I don't like the way it "feels". I like voices that are smooth and even, and I even think that is possible in rap music as well as country and pop. For some reason, when I hear his voice, I kind of cringe. It also always seems off with the beat. Take this song for example:
I feel like his voice doesn't fit the music, which I think is one of the most important things in a song. I know people say that he is a phenomenal song writer, but I don't think that is enough. I don't listen to music as deep as others, but for me unless I know the words and am singing along, I don't perticularly listen to the words so I guess I don't get the meaning and passion from his songs, but to me they just sound bad.
