Your favourite Bob Dylan album poll

[Benny B]

wait a minute, thats not the right version!

I've got a lot of time for the first album. Should be on the poll. I wouldn't vote for it, but it should be there..

Had a bit of a Dylan resurgence myself recently so this is a well-timed thread. I've been battering JWH, Freewheelin', Desire and BOTT.

Also been listening to a LOT of Bootleg Vol.2 and Vol.6.

i know people go over the top about dylan, and i have often found myself thinking that maybe people who don't like him are actually on to something. But nah, he is fucking great!

so many great songs. what a don.

word

the official bootleg comps are great, at leat the one ive heard. need to get the new basement tapes one cos the original basement tapes lp that came out is one of my faves.

love the shaggy dog story ones like this

[STN]

Oh Mercy for me. Will vote for Blood on the Tracks in the absence of that tho.

[droid]

well in light of the comments above, you're not gonna like it...

I've gone for john wesley harding simply because its the one i keep coming back to the most over the years, The real answer is probably highway 61/blood on the tracks/blonde on blonde, but theres something so simple and mysterious about the songs on jwh that keeps me coming back.

this is my fave dylan song, proper deep.

Ha!! In your FACE Luka.



+ Exquisite taste points for Benny

Why not look up k punks trolling thread ' I don't get Dylan and i never will ' Matthew says bringing it all back home is best, I just looked.

[droid]

Ah, I wouldve said blonde.

john wesley
blood
basement
desire

over-rated

times
another side
flood
bob1

not good

nashville
new morning

[Woebot]

only 15 options so i missed off his first lp, pat garrett and dylan (whos gonna vote for them?)

also basement tapes cos its likely been superceded by that new boxset thing which i still havent heard yet but by all accounts is awesome

good poll benny.

i put in for the freewheeling but perhaps it's blood on the tracks - or blonde on blonde. closely followed by john wesley - so in fact (i see) very close to the dissensus ;-)

another side is too sincere, bringing is uneven, highway 61 is long-winded.

while certainly yes i agree about not including the 1st lp but this is a wonder



and this from the bootlegs



there is a certain radioactive intensity to the earlier stuff which is why i think i chose freewheeling... that and it's funny.

[benjybars]

think this is my favourite tune from the bootlegs
