In my youth - '70s - Dylan was always there - always revered.
Never in my 'Top Ten' favourite artists, but always respected for the quality/imagination/innovation of his lyrics - and melodies. Voice not so much.
First Dylan album I bought was a 'best of' and on the basis of that I bought another 15 or so albums over the years.
Dylan is - to me - one of those artists (like Bowie) that will often have only one or two really good songs on an album. Contrast that with Billy Joel where ALL the songs will be great. Dylan is a bit like Springsteen in that respect.
There is no denying however, that regardless of a large number of mediocre songs and a crap voice, Dylan is one of the Great singer-songwriters - up there with Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, Elton John, Ian Anderson, Don Henley and a small number of others from all eras.
