I think it means he's not being "authentic" or maybe he's being too "self indulgent." :shifty:

Sure. But saying he "can't sing" is about the same level of artistic critique as the other two things.

Addendum: Saying "I don't like his voice" would be a less meaningless statement.

I'm fine with "I don't like Bob Dylan." "Bob Dylan can't sing" on the other hand is a different kind of proposition.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

An observation: This Fat Wrecktrospective is fun listening, although it doesn't inspire me to check out too many of the bands. It does remind me that I should pick up some Mad Caddies, tho. And maybe some Tilt.

EDIT: Bobby One Note has a terrible singing voice. Although he can sing, it doesn't sound very good.

But he writes a better song than Dylan. :shifty:

Seriously, you Dylan fans get so humorless about him.

Probably because we have to take a constant stream of shit about him on this board since forever?

I know, persecuted minority and all...

I bet Dylan gets more praise than blame on these boards.
