Bob Dylan is often considered the voice of a generation — and what a voice it is.
Dylan's nasally delivery somehow works perfectly with his brand of songwriting, and it seems like 98% of songs written in the '60s and '70s somehow come back to him.
But would he have been as huge, as important, as nasally if he had gone by his birth name, which is NOT what we've all been calling him by this whole time?

Correct Answer: Robert Allen Zimmerman
The answer is: Robert Allen Zimmerman. When you think about it, Bob Dylan is kind of the most generic out there. It hardly has the pop of names like Mick Jagger or David Bowie, so why would Robert Allen Zimmerman decide to go with such a boring name when starting his music career?Well, Allen, aka Bob, actually used a couple of other names before landing on Dylan, such as Elston Gunn and Robert Allen, both of which we think are way cooler.Source
