... is that rock (or folk) is not about having a "good" voice. It's about having an effective voice for the material. Tony Bennett has a better voice than Mick Jagger, but can you imagine him singing "Satisfaction"? Dylan's voice, at least when he was young, was perfectly edgy, sarcastic, vengeful, accusatory. Try to imagine Sinatra or Sarah Vaughn, or even Roger McGuinn delivering the "Do you, Mister Jones?" line. It would sound silly.
