OK, I was listening to an Elvis Costello compilation the other night and my wife just shrugs her shoulders and leaves the room. Go figure. She just can’t get his voice. Oh well, I guess it is an acquired taste. So I am then discussing this with a friend who says that it is like Bob Dylan. FWIW, I don’t think Dylan is anything like Costello but, why is it I can relax to Elvis but Bob does nothing for me?
TIA

I'm not a big fan of Bob Dylan, but there was a time I would compare him to Elvis Costello, too (I always referred to Elvis Costello as the Bob Dylan of the new wave set). I guess I feel that the two of them are great lyricists. They both may not have t

I'm one that just can't get past Bob's voice. I've grown to at least appreciate, if not like, a lot of the music my dad listened/listens to, but not Dylan.

Hmm..thought for a moment and felt I should add to this:
I would say I'm listening to Dylan more than Elvis Costello these days but that's because I had twenty-some years of following Costello and only recently discovered Dylan. That said, Bob Dylan's
