I used to own and listen to a few Dylan albums, as much because I felt I was supposed to. Never loved any of it, except maybe Like a Rolling Stone. Even then, he irritates me with that song. The scansion in his writing is woeful, then he fucks it up further the way he sings. Over the years he's become a parody of himself, and in doing so has spoiled the few things he did well. I'm now more irritated by his vocals than I used to be.nick_md wrote:@Andy Surely can't dismiss Bob that much!

Grateful Dead do a kick-ass version of Me & Bobby McGee. Other versions seem flat.Moot_Geeza wrote:A cover that's generally considered superior but isn't: Me & Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin. It's a belting performance, but Kristofferson's is better. See also: Pancho & Lefty (Van Zandt > Emmylou Harris).
