Neither. Neil Young is tone deaf and amusical.


Neil Young is great. I am sorry I opened this post.

Dylan cannot sing, period. He writes interesting songs
though.


Willie Nelson too is a great song writer, and he too should have quit while he was ahead.

Neil Young sings like Bruce Dern talks. Hypo-nasal.
So does Willy.

How bout neither? I would rather have nasaled Dylan or drunk Morrison than the mound of autotuned, pitch corrected garbage that floods the music industry today. From hiphop to pop to rock, it seems no one can sing now without the help of a computer, and a similar setup present for live shows.

I'll take my singer-songwriters from the 60's and 70's over modern crap any day. I'm saying this as a 20 year old in a generation in love with shit like gaga, lil Wayne, and Kesha.

I Want you? Lay Lady Lay? Tombstone Blues? Brownsville Girl? If Not For You?
I know what you meen when you say he cant sing, but the examples I just wrote, Im quite sure he sings on key in those?
As you say, Dylans essence and heart lies in the lyrics, but NO ONE can sing them like he does. Gives me the chills... I think the voice is perfect.
I heard James Blunt singing I Want You... wassent pretty no more....

Morrison sang within his register. So did Frank Sinatra and Elvis. Jim may not have had the widest range, but he had great timbre, tone and expression.

You must be very young. Morrison had a great voice. There is not comparison between Morrison and Dylan. That's like comparing apples to oranges.

Dylan had an awefull voice.

i was alive while morrison was still spewing, his lyrics were very good, and his earlier songs weren't to bad but by the time he died his voice had become awful

Morrison could sound like a decent nightclub singer. I figured he had a future there. Dylan would never win American Idol, that's for sure. I like Neil Young's music but sometimes he sounds like somebody's granny.

Agree with OP, Morrison sucks ass. It was music, instruments, song writing that drove Doors, not his mono-tone, pedestrian singing voice.

BULLSHIT

Morrison did not have a horrible voice...he did not have a perfect voice either. I think Elvis did though!


I like all of the above but Dylan, Waits, Cocker..add Springsteen and even Young do not have good vocals but they are good performers and song-writers.


All the others mentioned:

Dylan, Waits, Cocker..add Springsteen and even Young.


Morrison had a nice deep, not perfect but not horrible voice:

Dylan does not sing using standard recognized melodic elements and vocal tuning. But he has outstanding vocal character and intonations that are more unique and expressive than Morrison.

But you should hear Jon Bon Jovi unaccopanied.
It was painful.

So you choose the on-the-verge-of-death-alcoholic-aping-old- blues-singers Morrison as your example?

Not really fair.

But even then it's still better than most, and fit the music. For an untrained voice from someone who'd never sung until joining the band I think he did a pretty damned good job.

I like Bob Dylan's voice, it fits his music. Equally, I like Jim Morrison's voice, it fits the music of the Doors. This question is invalid.

Dylans voice sux (but he had some awesome songs !) I think if Morrison would have lived to be as old as Dylan, he would have eclipsed him by a longshot !

i know a lot of people like the doors and dylan but lets face it they didn;t have the range or quality of say robert plant or chris cornell

dylan has that annoying nasal tone from singing with a head register
and morrison just sonds like a slurring drunk on a bad karioke night
