I don't know much about him. What are his top hits ? Must be really something, to top the Beatles & Rolling Stones.
Night Moves, Turn the Page, Shame on the Moon, Beautiful Loser, Against the Wind...
Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - Turn The Page (Live At Cobo Hall, Detroit / 1975) - YouTube

Well, I listened to 10 of his top songs, and he's obviously a throwback to 1950s old-time rock, and has some good songs, but I wouldn't rate him above my 3 picks, or even above some of the top acts of his genre (Elvis, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Everly Brothers)

Nah!? Are you kidding ? Bob Dylan is the unquestionable king of folk-rock, folk, poetry-rock, Christian-rock, blues-rock, you name it. Just his first 6 albums could/should have gotten Grammys every one. Whose songs have ever been covered more, by just about everybody ?
Sometimes I talk to people about Dylan, and they express a kind of remote apathy. Then I mention some of his really good songs , and they've never heard them. Others have heard them, but by somebody else. Or they don't understand the words. How many people know that "Mr Tambourine Man" is the drug LSD ? Johnny Cash understood.
His voice is like fingers on a chalkboard...not a bad song writer...not a great performer.
More like springstein..

"voice"
...........you think he tries to emulate Johnny Mathis ? You obviously have no clue about Bob Dylan. And just his first 6 albums (1962-1966) could have established him as the greatest songwriter, in all of western civilization, ever. Name one that even comes close.

Bob Dylan is not a "voice" person. If you're big on voices, download Johnny Mathis or Karen Carpenter.

Anybody that talks about Bob Dylan's voice, doesn't know the first thing about Bob Dylan. He could have TALKED his songs, and still be # 1.

In the opinion of Rolling Stone magazine he's # 1.
Their opinion is based on KNOWING very many of his songs, as is mine.
And yours ? Look out! There could be a QUIZ.
