| 1450971 | 2018-06-27 00:31:00 | Have just heard "Blowing in the Wind" on the radio, a song written and sung (?) by Bob Dylan. He should have stuck to song writing as his singing is abysmal. Peter, Paul and Mary did a much better job of that song. I would have thought that he would make more money out of writing songs rather than trying to sing them. He had a fairly big following but I could never see what they saw in him.:waughh: |

| 1450973 | 2018-06-27 03:15:00 | many of todays Pop/rock vocalists arnt good singers , despite how they sound on the records. Lip syncing during 'live' concerts seems to somehow be OK now, because the singer cant sing in tune out of the studio, or cant hit the high notes when singing live . Good example was the NZ National anthem recently butchered , possibly ruining that singers career . Anyway, the song in total is more important than how its sung :) I'll happily listen to B.Dylan rather than most cover versions of his songs . |

| 1450974 | 2018-06-27 06:01:00 | Dylan has a "different to most" style. I don't mind it. Better than most of the rubbish they call music from the last decade. His songwriting is up there with the greats! Ken :banana |

| 1450976 | 2018-06-27 09:35:00 | I've often said the same (write the music but certainly can't sing) of Leonard Cohen. And more recently of Ed Sheeran, James Blunt ... I touched on this in a recent post (McCartney), if their songs are still on somebody's personal playlist in 60 years time, then surely they're good. But in McCartney's case, I won't be persuaded to retract that :) |

| 1450977 | 2018-06-27 09:50:00 | Blunt, I'm out on him, but that Andrea Bocelli agreed to perform with Ed Sheeran is an endorsement of Sheeran's musical prowess in itself ... Andrea Bocelli and Ed Sheeran (www.youtube.com) :) |

| 1450978 | 2018-06-27 19:05:00 | Yeah, I'm generally of the opinion there's nothing worse than rap, but then again, I'd forgotten about Dylans voice when I came to that conclusion. I can't find any merit to the guy. A wheezing asthmatic sounds more musical than that joker. |
