I think that, when it comes to appreciating Dylan's singing, it really helps to have taken a shot at singing with any seriousness. I've been singing in one way or another for a bunch of years, and I've studied voice with some seriousness for 8 or 9 years, and I can tell you that, from my perspective, Dylan is one of the all-time greats. Emotional nuance, storytelling, character, attitude, humor... it's all there.
