Favorite Album: Bringing it all back home

Favorite Song: a tossup between It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) and Subterranean Homesick Blues

I also really dig Highway, Blonde, Blood and the Freewheelin Bob Dylan

Damn i forgot Highway 61 revoiisited im gonna pop that in now,
I love like a rolling stone
and tom thumb blues on it

I'm a big Dylan fan too. I'm certainly not an expert on the man or his music, but I do love most of his work. My favourite cd is Blood on the Tracks. I believe he is the greatest lyricist of our time. No one even comes close.

It took me several years to begin an appreciation for Bob, but once I became more familiar with his work, I quickly came to love his music. I know it's not for everyone, but IMHO there's no one quite like him.

Long live Bob!!

Actually, one of my favorite Dylan songs ended up on this record...



...Positively 4th Street

You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning

You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that's winning

You say I let you down
You know it's not like that
If you're so hurt
Why then don't you show it

You say you lost your faith
But that's not where it's at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it

I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You're in with

Do you take me for such a fool
To think I'd make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don't know to begin with

You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, "How are you?" "Good luck"
But you don't mean it

When you know as well as me
You'd rather see me paralyzed
Why don't you just come out once
And scream it

No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I'd rob them

And now I know you're dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don't you understand
It's not my problem

I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is
To see you

"Slow Portrait"...?

Make up your mind, will ya?

Oh, and my 5 favorites:

1) Blood On The Tracks
2) Blonde On Blonde
3) Street Legal
4) Bringing It All Back Home
5) John Wesley Harding

Dylan has so many great songs that it's almost impossible to pick a favourite. His catalogue is so immense. I love songs from way back in the day right up until his most recent release.

My favorite, too.....and it happens to hit a raw spot in my heart at the moment. His lyrics have a way of jabbing at the truth - emotionally, politically, culturally, spiritually.

Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed it too. Any news as to when the next installment will be released?

paging damo...

FINALLY got into Dylan about 5 years ago, his musical career has just been incredible.

Favourite albums are the mid 60's trio Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited but Blonde on Blonde probably is ahead by a nose.

His Bootleg series are also brilliant without exception.

Favourite song...depends how I'm feeling but Idiot Wind made my mouth drop open the first time I heard it. I'd never heard a song like that before.

Favourite Boot: Maybe the Massey Hall Toronto show from 1980 which I've got on VCD. I loves his gospel flavour.

I’m here, I’m here!

If pressed, I’d have to name Blonde on Blonde as my favourite Dylan record. Granted, it has a touch of fat on it, but there are so many glorious peaks as well. And laugh if you want, but I think it’s a great party album – just put on Rainy Day Women at any college party and within minutes the drunken frat boys will be belting it out.

I think that Dylan’s run from Another Side of… to ‘John Wesley Harding’ may be the greatest run a modern popular recording artist has given us. If the less than perfect Times Are A-Changin’ wasn’t in there messing up the timeline, you could throw Freewheelin’ in as well. I know some of you will make the case for your Stevies and your Bowies (and your Princes too, I haven’t forgotten about him), but consider that between 1964 and 1967 Bob gave us the following:








Everyone one of these albums is a popular music touchstone, an icon, a landmark recording, and they also show continuing growth, maturity and sophistication. The only criticism I would ever make of these records is that the harmonica is waaaaay too high in the mix on John Wesley Harding.

And let’s not forget that in 2001. long after most have us had given up hope, Bob gave us one of the finest records of his career:



I don’t think anyone could have ever hoped for a record this genuinely great from him this late in the game. He sounds just like prime Bob: scary, confident, old as Methuselah (he always sounded old, even when he was twenty) and funny as hell when he wants to be. It's heartening to know that someone who's on the verge of collecting retirement benefits can sound so vital.

Embarrassing typo edit.

Favourite songs:

Every Grain of Sand
Jokerman

I have nearly all his stuff but I only got Planet Waves about a week ago.It's so good.I'd only heard Forever Young previously-I'd never even heard him sing stuff on bootlegs.It's with The Band and Dirge has a classic (I assume) Robbie Robertson acoustic solo.
Cannot recommend it highly enough.

Nice to see im not the only one...
Dylan i always deemed as an aquired taste.
Hard to find someone who knows him
more or less dig his music
