I agree 100%.... I love Tom Waits, but he is NOT a great singer.— The Rev (@revchristopher) October 21, 2019

how can you like tom waits and also think that he's not a good singer? he can do things with his voice that absolutely nobody else can, or would even think to do. you don't need to have to sound like a pure angel to be a good singer, fergodsake.

^^^ so true
it is frustrating how ppl who would probably recognize what dumb reactionary bullshit the "you have to sing a certain way to be a GOOD singer" attitude is if they heard it applied to, like, bjork or yoko ono or joe strummer or howlin' wolf or whoever -- these same ppl will turn around and insist that dylan "can't sing," rather than just "i don't like bob dylan" (which is totally fine). never stops being incredibly fucking annoying.

I'd have to go back and figure out how this relates to the thread title, but: up to and including 1966, Bob Dylan couldn't sing brilliantly, then he couldn't sing exceptionally well up until 1974, and after that, a lot of the time, he couldn't sing.

bob dylan is obviously one of the best singers in the history of sound recording; didn't know there was still a contrarian school on this.

it's because he's such a good singer that it's okay he's such an uneven writer.
