YIKES!!! Gotta Respectfully Disagree with about everything there.
I have my Daughter listening to Joplin and she loves it. That woman poored every ounce of herself into a song when she sang it. Her vocals were powerful, soulful and full of emotion. There was nothing Computer enhanced about one of her performances.
Rod Stewart was great when he was with the Faces, and if we can just put a bullet in the whole "Do ya Think I'm Sexy" phase. Some of his later music had a real Bluesy, Grass Roots feel to it. Forever Young was a great song.
Dylan, Granted, isn't one of the most powerful vocalists going but his voice fit his music and he was another one who sang a song like he meant it. and as far as a Song writer there aren't to many who can touch him.
I'm Still waiting for Him, Bruce Springsteen, and Tom Petty to go on tour together.....it can be called the "What the F*** Did They Say" tour.
Don't EVEN get me going on Stealing old songs.....Every band/singer coming around the corner is remaking old songs and expecting that they should be in the rock and roll hall of fame for it.
Name a band and pretty much there is a remake in there catalog.
