Tambourine Man" or Hendrix's version of "All Along the Watchtower," you couldn't care less about Dylan's takes. You also probably think that Dylan songs are always made better when other people cover them, and while you admire the Byrds' version of "Mr.
You probably hate his "unlistenable" voice, you hate the fact that most of his songs are based in "simplistic" patterns, you hate his lyrics that don't make any real sense, and you hate the fact that he opened the door for anybody with a guitar and a desire to sing to make music, even if they weren't talented in a technical sense. If you take this approach, I'd estimate that there's a good 90-95% chance that you despise Dylan and consider him a talentless hack. There are many people in this world for whom music is mostly based in technical features, and they think of music as merely a collection of notes, chord progressions, time signatures, whatever. No artist better exemplifies the above ancient platitude, and I fully believe that the attitude of anybody towards Robert Zimmerman as a whole is strongly correlated to the degree one agrees with it.
