I don't agree with that; the only reason Dylan got his contract in the first place was because of his image. In 1961 he hadn't written any of his truly great songs, and Hammond only signed him (and people were primarily drawn to his shows) because of his unique vocal style, his informed choice of covers, and appearance.
But yeah, there are always people who are all style. There are also some great acts who also put a great emphasis on style. It's easy to mix the two up.
