Dylan as a lyricist/composer, absolutely. As a vocalist? Puh-leeeze. Loud reels haven't done that much to my ears.

Sorry, the question "Dylan or Springsteen" is invalid, it's old versus old.
Now Springsteen or Kings of Leon? (Dylan can't be compared) |

Bob,
I have to disagree on Dylan as a vocalist. In the early years especially, his voice was the perfect vehicle to convey his material, Sinatra, for example ,could never have done it effectively. The voice was distinctive and immediately captivating due to it's unique character. On classics like " Don't Think Twice " , " Baby Blue" , " It Ain't Me babe" and all the others from that period his singing sparkled and set him apart .Unfortunately as he has aged he sometimes sounds like someone with bad laryngitis sucking on helium. He is still a great live performer although it really helps to be familiar with the lyrics. |

Okay, Martin, I'll partly buy it. Although I still don't think he was ever a very great vocalist, I agree that his voice was well suited to the genre
and the times - the 60s and early 70s. At least, what I remember of them.
Here's Sinatra doing It Ain't Me Babe... Go 'way from my window Leave at your own chosen speed... get outta town, honey... I'm not the one you want babe... nah, I'm not... I'm not the one you need. Nu-uh... nu-uh... nu-uh... it ain't me babyyyy It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe... you crazy lil' scamp...

I'm the one who's sorry. I couldn't resist.
But I should have. I admire Pavarotti's voice. And I respect the way he faced with great dignity and courage a devastating illness. The joke was both insensitive and stupid. I apologize for it, Mac, and I've pulled it.

It is rumored that Pavarotti was not an advocate of C&R and may have been a deer jacker to boot. Dylan and Sinatra were both dry fly purists, although
neither were known to mic or weigh their lines. Eric Clapton, on the other hand, was said to be meticulous about the maintenance of his lines , detailing the
weights and diameters of all of his lines on an excel spreadsheet.

Well, Martin, it isn't too difficult, then, to divorce their fly fishing
practices from their evaluations as musicians--is it?--and thus maintain the objectivity for which we're already developing a reputation on this thread. That is, unless any of them preferred graphite to bamboo, which is tantamount of course to out-and-out scroundrelism as well as to flatting out in the higher ranges. |

Well the couple of Dylan CD's I have are shot and that is what I listen to on the way to the river. The mention of Dylan being a dry fly man gave me the
urge to order Vol. 1-3 of his greatest hits. I cannot remember the name of the song but it is about a homesteading family during the dust bowl and it gives me
the chills.

Good lord, Battenkiller, you're apparently still in the
courtship and/or philandering phase, so probably quite a bit under 75 (although one can never be certain these days). Can I just call you "Killer" out of respect to Beetle Bailey? Even so, I think this one needs to be turned over to one from any of the three generatons following mine, and of course to one of our regular broad-minded discussants. Dave, do you want to volunteer? |

Younger than 75 for sure, but old enough to have drooled over Mary Ann. Old enough to need a yearly prostate exam but young enough to still have one.
"Killer", eh? Sure, in my day I had a few, but a Ladykiller I've never quite been. I always dug his mustache, however. I was more the "Plato" type in my youth. Now I'm closer to "Cookie" in appearance. 
Screen name is out of respect for the Battenkill River, but these days it'd be a sin to be a "Killer" on that flow. Folks on other boards I visit call me BK. You can call me anything you want, just make sure to call me when the evening rise begins. |

Ah, the age old Ginger or May Ann eh..........
We could warp ahead to the WKRP ERA and ask Jennifer or Bailey 
Then we could harken back away to the days of Wonder Woman 
Then plod ahead gallantly to where no man has gone before to Star Trek the Next Generation and add 7 of 9
