At cesarat37that's the exact opposite of the way I'd list it. Agreed w/ prior poster that The Doors isn't even near this level, Led Zeppelin and the Doors are hugely overrated IMO. I also feel The Beatles are rather overrated but I'd recognize that there's genius somewhere in themI like The Who and Pink Floyd but I also don't think they attain the same heights as the Stone, Beatles or especially Dylan, I'd throw the Kinks near the top as well.
I'm pretty much over people whining about Dylan's allegedly whiny voiceI feel like people stick to talking points rather than giving his albums their proper dueat any rate sit and listen to Blood on the Tracks, Desire and Street Legal and IMO you are listening to one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time. The musical performance and his singing voice are not typically technically percise but Dylan taps into my emotions, heart and brain more 5b4than any other musical artist. -

As a fan of Dylan's music, those stock complaints about his voice don't even register with me. Never understood them. always seemed like the convenient complaint on him"oh he's a great songwriter but he can't sing." NoB^llsh!t. There's no one else id rather hear sing a Dylan song than Bob Dylan. Not Jimi Hendrix, not Roger McGuinn, not Bruce Springsteen..and definitely not Axl Rose. Nobody. He's by far my favorite singer.
I like the Kinks too. As well as The Clash.if we're talking bands here. -

Dylan is, no question, the best songwriter of our generation. Lennon and McCartney come in a distant second in my opinion, but still very good. The Beatles had more commercial success, the Stones have enjoyed longevity. The Doors aren't even in this conversation.
