Favorite Bob Dylan Song?
 

Every music store I went to this weekend was having a big Dylan promotion which made me go home and pull out my collection.

What is your favorite Dylan song?

This is mine. I love the combo of just a good tune and activism:

like a rolling stones I think - haven't heard anything from him for some time

the one where he mumbles incoherently.

I love it when people are specific in their answers ;)

ok then... rainy day woman... like a rolling stone... knocking on heavens door.
can't really pick which i like the best... hurricane is good as well..

"Just Like a Woman" hands down :thumbsup

Not my favorite, but this video is awesome because of all the freaky people. Cool song too though.


The best part is crowd shot between 4:10 and 4:40. lol

Bob dylan sucks, what a waste of a thread.

Fail. ;) J/k Everybody has their tastes.

I tried to pick a favorite and the best I could do was narrow it down to three:

This Wheels On Fire


Open The Door, homer


Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues

Hurricane

Of course ;)

so many good ones. always loved "baby blue" damn he could write amazing lyrics!

It ain't me babe, I don't know if it's from Dylan, but in his voice is awesome.

really hard question. Today it will be Desolation Row. If you ask me tomorrow I will answer differently.

Like A Rolling Stone, It's All Over Now, Baby Blue, Desolation Row, Positively 4th Street (You've got a lot of nerve...). Jeez, he wrote so many great songs.

anyone get rainy day women in the list yet?

All Along The Watchtower also

Stairway to Heaven

The sickest part about that is that I didn't even check to see what you posted before posting.

I didn't even see what you posted until now. :1orglaugh

The entire Blood On The Tracks album is a monster. It's hard to think of many poets or lyricists who can touch the words on that album. And the music on it perfectly brings the stories he's telling to life. On "Jack Of Hearts" you are literally transported back to the old west for instance. The album is a true work of art.

Positively 4th Street and Just like a woman.

The one he never wrote, played or recorded...

I miss his songs so far. Thanks for sharing this video!

Things have changed.

Same here :thumbsup

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup
Easily his best album.
My favorties are "Idiot Wind", "Shelter From the Storm","Tangled Up in Blue" and "Simple Twist of Fate."

I second that, "Blood on the Tracks" is probably his best work.

Here is a snippet of lyrics from "Idiot Wind"

"I woke up on the roadside, daydreamin' 'bout the way things sometimes are
Visions of your chestnut mare shoot through my head and are makin' me see stars.
You hurt the ones that I love best and cover up the truth with lies.
One day you'll be in the ditch, flies buzzin' around your eyes,
Blood on your saddle."

I was going to say the exact same SPECIFICS lol

I like Dylan though

Blowing in MY wind!

Jokerman from Infidels. I am still unsure who he is talking about coming out of his re-born religious days and just after Reagan was elected...

Hurricane has always been a favorite of mine. All Along the Watchtower isn't too bad either. He had a lot of great songs to be honest. Big part of my youth came back just reading some of the titles you guys came up with so far.

One More Cup of Coffee

Of all the songs of his that I love, Isis is the one that most blew me away on the first listen - especially the unreleased version from the Biograph compilation.

If I'm not mistaken that one was recorded at Le Club Montreal, now The Spectrum, in Montreal.

My favorite Dylan tune is this gem:

"My Voice Sounds Like Nails on a Blackboard and I Stole All My Works From Irish Folk Songs."

It's a real beauty.

Masters of War.

Although I prefer Eire Og's cover: https://youtube.com/watch?v=F1Owu...eature=related

Another on the pile of scary moments between us.

i have many, haven't listened to him for a long time ...

I like the part of the album between the last song and the label.

Too many to mention, gotta love Idiot Wind especially the lyrics:thumbsup

I like Hurricane too, along with Like a Rolling Stone, I Want You, and lots more

Hey Mr. Tambourine Man, my fav! :thumbsup
