You are right about me not being completely familiar with Dylan’s catalogue. I think that it has to do with when I grew up and what I listened to. I couldn’t ge past his voice. Ever..
PS thank you for not flaming me!
Actually I was referring to his song writing skills. I can agree that if you can’t get past the voice you will not see the song writing genius. Again , to each his/her own. The music either hits you or it doesn’t. There is no right or wrong answer.
Lol . Somehow I think Dylan himself would be laughing at that
Which version of Forever Young? The slow ballad or the hopped up version?
The original. The slower version. Another underrated gem is “ Beyond the Horizon “.
I prefer the slow version as well. I’ll have to go listen to Beyond the Horizon.
I was also referring to song writing skills. Bob Seger, Tom Petty, Glen Fry & Don Henley are some of the very best song writers that ever existed.
But I will give Bob Dylan one thing, he had a huge impact on a lot of young, dreamers before they became stars. Tom Petty is one.
