Fair enough. If we're talking about a singer that I only ever marginally liked to begin with (which I think would be a fair assessment of your overall feelings for Stevie), then I suppose it's possible that I'd lose interest, too. I'm an oddball though, because I usually find my interest increasing as a singer's voice becomes more ragged and worn.

I'm not familiar with every Dylan song there is to know, but I think his vocals on early songs like "Lay, Lady, Lay" or "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" are beautiful.
