I think Neil Young's a great singer, and Bob Dylan is, by a wide margin, my favourite singer ever.

Lots of indie rock vocalists, like Stephen Malkmus of Pavement, though many of them are interesting and write good songs, at least

I don't get what is exactly so annoying about Bob Dylan's voice. I love Neil Young's voice. Courtney Love's voice doesn't annoy me. I'm as indifferent to her voice as I am to her in general.

He's okay on Sunrise, too, I guess.

The singer from the band Dream Theatre, I can't be arsed to lookup his name. They would be absolutely legendary if they had a better singer _________________ "Tall people can be recognized by three things: generosity in the design, humanity in the execution and moderation in success"

You don't get why a lot people might not like Dylan's voice? Seriously? He has a very unusual voice (especially from the 80s onwards) and he uses it in a very unusual way.

Some people go as far as to say they won't listen to him because of his voice. It's certainly unusual and not technically accomplished, but I don't get how it's annoying. Gravel and honey - yes, but not nails on chalkboard.

I think it compliments his music. I love his voice.
