I'm very OK with both, Bob Dylan's unique high pitched voice and exceptional songwriting. I'm still attracted to what is known as "early Bob Dylan" records such as "Freewheelin'" and "Times They Are A-Changin'" but eventually got used to Bob Dylan's electrical stuff too. "Blonde On Blonde" became my favorite Dylan album, but you can also mark me down for ----
Bringing It All Back Home
Highway 61 Revisited
John Wesley Harding
Nashville Skyline (Dylan's voice sounds different here)
Desire
Blood On The Tracks
Rough & Rowdy Ways
I mostly listen to his stuff done by other people with more pleasant voices but do have a bunch of his recordings which I listen to from time to time. I would say the general intelligence and poetry of the lyrics, not necessarily any political message.
As great a song writer as Bob Dylan is (And he is), I can barely stand listening to him sing. I never bought a Dylan album in my life. Tangled Up In Blue is one of the few songs I enjoy his singing on. So guys and gals, did you buy Dylan's records for the sound or his message? MTABob
