Edited to display real musical talent. Dylan writes okay, but for some reason, he thinks that he can sing, and that sets him back more than a few points. :contract:
Dylan has written some great songs, but when his voice was at its peak one could only charitably call it "awful."

That was a terrible movie, why are you reminding us?
:yes:

It was a very bad movie.

They filmed a bit of that film down the block from my house.

My room mate took a beer down and wandered amongst the teamsters and was actually reprimanded for drinking on the job by some stooge
:p

More a fan of the Stones, but the Beatles also had some great songs...

I just wish Jagger & co knew when it's time to quit the business.

Meh, his voice may not have fit the classic definition of being "good", I think most of his songs would not be anywhere near as poignant with a "good"/smooth voice.

listen to Nashville Skyline for Dylan's "I quit smoking" voice; it's fuller, rounder and should be actually considered singing.

To compare the Stones to Beatles is like comparing Cimarosa to Mozart. Sure, Cimarosa was famous in his day and all, but it's Mozart we remember today.

The Stones have hardly sunk into obscurity in popular culture.

when I saw the Stones, their take on Sympathy for the Devil was among the best I had ever heard. If they had stopped touring, it would have been a loss. I don't understand why musicians are apparently required to stop playing music.

Paul McCartney played Halifax last weekend to 50K people. Largely oldies including "Give Peace a Chance." Go hate on him.  ;)

The Beatles; I do love a lot of the Stone's music but they had some serious misfires along the way.  For instance:


In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Give them time. They will be the Cimarosa to Beatle's Mozart.
