Anti-War/ Anti- Bush mix CD for Tommorow...
KharBevNor:
Dylan's folk, and who cares if he didn't change anything, he said it. And who's to say he didn't change anything? He's imparted his beliefs and thoughts to an untold number of people, and provided the soundtrack that energised a generation of dissent.
If Dylan could 'sing' (strange saying he can't, because he does) in the sense you mean, he would be completely shit. Dylan is affecting because its a simple, honest, personal statement. If he could sing, he would just have been another Simon and Garfunkel, and whatever you think of those guys (I think they were pretty good) they don't hold a fucking candle to Dylan.
E. Spaceman:
Besides, his singing did gewt better (in a conventional sense), in Hurricane it's more tuneful, but still extremely powerful.
GuitarJunkie:
Pearl Jam - Worldwide Suicide
Dead Kennedys - When Ya Get Drafted

Agreed. I find Dylan's songs much more affecting with his odd (NOT BAD) singing voice. It's my defense for Isaac Brock, too, but I have more trouble with him. Not that I'm trying to put Bob fucking Dylan and Modest Mouse on the same level there, but I like to compare singing styles since they do seem very simmilar to me, and both convey that honesty. I find some sentiments fake when sung in the standard "pretty" voice. Dylan has more fire and more power with his voice the way it is than if he had taken singing lessons.
