... you didn't listen to Dylan for his voice but rather the rarified content of what he sang. Times were different and a lyric like, 'you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows', would be taken to define a political faction. College courses developed to critique their meaning, meter, and rhyme. And he even garnered a Nobel for Literature along the way.

Anyone ever listen to Geddy Lee for the beauty of his words?

Dream Theater

I love them, but James Labrie is decades past his prime.

If that is not pretentiousness, I don’t know what is.

Well, Neil Peart is the primary lyricist......so no.

That said, Peart lyrics >>>> Dylan lyrics.

There is nothing wrong, at all, with his singing in Limelight, Tom Sawyer and Fly By Night. His voice is actually an asset in all.

Nobody’s mentioned that whiny arse Tom Kiefer from Cinderella. I was and still am a huge Hair Metal guy but I could never get into Cinderella because of that garbage voice. Sounds like a bad cat fight.

I can't defend Lee from a vocalist standpoint, however I will tell you that back in the day, record companies looked for folks who had unique or different voices. Before video, they wanted singers that listeners could quickly and accurately identify on radio.

Lee most certainly has a "unique" sounding voice.

Good call. After all, the poor fricker is just a rat in a cage.

That's your problem, not his. You should seek help.

That just makes him fit in well with the rest of the band.
