Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?

Redeeming features of Bob Dylan’s early music.

Unusual for me to bring this up, l have tried to be (biting tongue) impartial to the names posted…..”artists you just can’t listen to”

On this occasion l would like to add that others may not like his lyrics or can’t even bare the sight of looking at him (poor man has a medical condition too) but l would like to say….

IMHO, some artists have used his writings and have made some interesting recordings with their own vocalisations to better effect. 

“With God on Our Side”  Manfred Mann, sung by Paul Jones.

“Masters of War” with stranger exaggerated vocals by Jose Feliciano.

Some may not be tolerant of Bob singing these songs, but when reworked or revisited by other artists, the writing talent (for me) shines through.

Bob Dylan is a real poet... Most people dont even know how to read prose  they certainly not appreciate poetry...

If not a poetical genius  he will not be in my very  short list of popular artists i like ...

I concur with this post of mylogic:

Stevie Nicks, Madonna, Britney Spears

Stroll into any crowd, and you will find people you can't listen to.

“With God on Our Side” Bob Dylan

Reference my previous post tonight.

When comparing the original lyrics from 1963 to the later Manfred Man version you can see two verses dropped. The first… The Spanish-American War/The Civil War section. The other that included, “l learnt to hate the Russians all through my whole life. If another war comes, it’s them we must fight”

Heavier stuff with some foreboding and maybe prophesy. Manfred Mann did change a few minor lines like “The country l come from is called the Midwest” for a more recognised term (in Europe) “The country l come from is part of the free west”

Bob laid it down the way he saw it in those Cold War times. It looks like he had the same view on Russians as General George S Patton who said that of them, at the end of WW2.

Bob was more political than l thought.
