Is Rolling Stone racist?

people seem to be mad at dylan at #7 best singer ever.

but all my favorite singers couldn't sing

this thread is so good actually

We need to bring TNC back to ILM.

"bob dylan can't sing" is the most boring and eternal of takes

otm

Is Vibe racist? They only put black people on their cover.

Post #4, lol... very efficient thread

I am done

I agree 100%.... I love Tom Waits, but he is NOT a great singer.

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.

he can do things with his voice that absolutely nobody else can, or would even think to do

Thank God.

Anyway, he said great singer.

agreed. is mike patton a good singer? I'd say so.

he is a great singer. learn to embrace your fellow tom!

Also the truest.

i’ve spent a lot of time listening to bob dylan and it isn’t remotely true

crazy to see Ta-Nehisi Coates in an ILM thread

"Joe ****er"

xp. imagine the direction his life could have taken if he had gotten really into having back and forths with geir or deej on here all day

lol

"Couldn't agree with you more, Coates."

(this is a good thread, btw)

^^^ 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.

people who think bob dylan can't sing should hear me sing "sara" in the shower

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.

lol xp

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.

i screamed at joe ****er
