Why are covers of Bob Dylan songs almost unanimously thought to be superior to the original Dylan versions?
>>128206539Dylan was a good composer, but a bad interpreter.
He can't sing for shit
>>128206539despite charting well i don't think the byrds cover is as well regarded
>>128206539He's a popular act on his own too...for like 60 years. And fucking cool.
>smokes your weed>psssh... nothin personnel... kid...
>>128206539>hey kiiiids do you want some druugs?
The ones The Byrds did
>>128206539dylan wasn't that great of a singerhe also couldn't play his instruments that great
>>128206539They are not
>>128206616i mean the chimey guitar on Byrd's version of Tamborine Man became the template for Beatles, Tom Petty, REM, and nearly all ensuing non-metal white guitar rock but some fag critic who thinks rock is literature likes Dylan's better. kek.

>>128207188>literatureHe wrote the melody and the lyrics. Not just the lyrics. Everything about the Byrds is a straight cover, but different arrangement. They didn't change the melody or anything.
>>128207307didn't say he didn't write the melody> why would a retard even think that?but simple question: did ensuing musicians who wanted to make a living at music try more to emulate the sound on the byrd's version or dylan's?

>>128207457You said literature. You're just being a cunt and I'm setting your cunt ass straight.
>>128207475dumbfuck, he literally got the nobel prize in LITERATURE for the lyrics of his songs, and i think the nobel committee realized he didn't just write the words to his songs, but also the melody.it's you making the stupid assumption that somebody referring to the passion that the usual English majors who became rock critics had for analyzing dylan's lyrics like they used to analyze actual book literature in school means that person doesn't realize Dylan wrote the melodies too. Good grief.
>>128206539For me, it's covers of Dylan songs he never actually recordedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1fpDWXwfso
>>128206539literally no one says that
>>128206539They aren't. Dylan's songs are minimalistic by nature. Nogs like hendrix take them and make them busier, and plebs think busy means better.
