@mollydotcom funny thing is Cat Stevens wasn’t even his real name. Steven Georgiou isn’t as catchy though. Unless You’re Greek I suppose.

I don't care that Cat Stevens is a Muslim now, is he good? My exposure to him as a young person was of his Greek influences / @dstorey

@mollydotcom wasn’t he mostly influenced by the Beatles, Dylan, Simone, and the Blues?

@dstorey Whatever his influences, when I heard him as a young teenager I'd never heard anything quite like him.

@mollydotcom moved you more than Dylan?

Stevens' voice is magnitudes more beautiful than Dylan's. Dylan's voice is magnitudes more evocative than Stevens' @dstorey

@mollydotcom Dylan’s voice is that kind of voice you love because it isn’t technically beautiful and pitch perfect. Like Tim Burgess

@dstorey I totally agree! Dylan's imperfections are his perfection. And he's not for nothing - he can pull off a nice melody "Lay Lady Lay"

@mollydotcom on the same topic, Jeff Buckley moves me a lot: pure voice yet not pure, so much emotion in it
