Logan let out of his cage again, just doesn't get the appeal of Leonard Cohen

But in his hatchet job, Logan pretends Cohen wasn’t any good at all: “He wasn’t much of a singer, either; but the gravelly renderings of his lyrics gradually attracted a mass audience that seemed more like a cult. … At any moment of the day, ‘Suzanne’ is probably playing in an elevator somewhere.” Unlike Logan’s poems. But not a good singer? That’s like saying Neil Young is not a “good” singer, or Dylan, for that matter.

To those who would say that Dylan couldn't sing was, I'd reply, "Maybe you don't know how to listen."
