Dylan's Voice/ Better Now?

I have been listening to Modern Times for the past couple of months in my car. I am sort of responding to another person comment in another thread, that to him Dylan sounds like a dead frog. He said he could not listen to any Dylan recordings after a certain year, in the late 60's or 70's.
I think Dylan's voice is like a fine wine, it just keeps getting better as it ages. I love his voice on his last few albums. I like the grumble, croakiness, of his "frog" voice.
To me, there is way more interest, depth, and soul to his voice in his latter recordings.
Where do you stand regarding Bob Dylan's voice. Is it shot? Tolerable? or fantastic?

You've set the bar awfully low (the old Dylan vocals) for the more recent Dylan vocals.

This thread made me chuckle. Too many years ago, I had a college music professor who refused to call Dylan's craft "singing", instead referring to it as "some sort of free vocal expression". Either way, I will acknowledge that it works for Bob.
