He's written some good songs over the years tbf but in most cases, the covers have been better than his versions with Hendrix's version of 'All Along the Watchtower' arguably being the best example or The Byrds 'Mr Tambourine Man'.

Well, not all the covers are better than BD's originals. These are the opposite ends of the scale from the ridiculous :lol: to the sublime :shock: :

It’s not about the singing with Dylan it’s about the words and the way he expresses them. After all, he won the Nobel prize for Literature even though he was a dick about accepting it.

I think you'll find the answer is blowing in the wind.
