It's always a matter of taste wouldn't we agree? EXCEPT in the case of Yoko Ono or could a fan step in and let us know what we're missing. I agree John diminished his influence by promoting her. See what love can do?
One comment "Joni Mitchell has a poor voice? You need to get out more." AGREED!! What I hear in her, besides her unique voice, is her experience and deep observations through her wonderful lyrics, right up there with the best songwriters of the folk/rock era, IMHO of course.
Rock is as much about swagger and appeal as it is about great voices, we're not talking about Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett here but again many would argue whether Frank had a great voice. All so subjective and based on personal biases more than anything else.
