Okay let me add his voice and his music aren't that great. There were more pleasing folk artists. I thought the Seekers music was nice and him going electric was sure a sell-out.

The Byrds were a little heavier than folk but great listening. I will say I thought his version of House of the Rising Sun was haunting and I'll listen to it. Knocking on Heavens Door I think was his best.

And he was much less annoying to listen to than Ritchie Havens. But like punk rock I think he was more an emblem than talent. Like the Mona Lisa, just something the music community decided to fuss over.

Re: Posted by mordent
some people agree with you

but the overwhelming bulk of the music community will quite disagree

as do I

and by the way he doesn't give a darn about whether or not people like his voice

His lyrics could be clever but I don't like his voice. I think he's highly over-rated
