What's your favorite Bob Dylan track?

I love Leon Russell! he was awesome at Concert For Bangladesh

 

The times are a changin, Mr Tamborine Man, Slow Train Comin, She Belongs to Me, Subterranian Homesick Blues, Rainy Day Women (everyone must get _____), Chimes of Freedom, Blowin in the Wind, It ain't me, It's all over now Baby Blue, etc.


That's alot, but I am a certified "Dylan Junkie".

 

Positively 4th Street

 

Currently my favorites are Masters Of War, Tangled up in blue, and Hurricane. Dylan is too amazing and diverse to have one favorite song.

 

Spanish Harlem Incident

 

Has to be Idiot Wind - it's exorcised alot of my anger over the years in crazy relationships.Nick Cave (Above) is great too - 'into my arms' is just beautiful.

 

don't think twice, it's alright
i shall be released
the ballad of frankie lee & judas priest

and i should stop now before i list like, fifty songs.

 

i want you, all along the watchtower, boots of spanish leather and the lonesome death of hattie carroll

 

Almost anything from "John Wesley Hardin".

What a breakthrough album - helped change rock's direction, or at least expanded it.

 

O dear, I shall try and stick to three,
Subterranean homesick blues,
Lay lady lay,
Tangled up in blue.
But then there's so many others as well...O its all so difficult!

 

oh man...that's hard.
just to name a few-
oh, sister
idiot wind
if you see her
blowing in the wind
visions of johanna
one of us must know

he's amazing, definitely in my top 3 fave musicians of all time

 

"The man in me"
Definitely rocks my socks off.

 

i hold dylan up as high as i hold jerry...to pick one song would be disrespectful. hahahaha.


but i'll list a few favorites...
*girl of the north country(i've been listening to it bunches lately)
don't think twice it's alright
tangled up in blue
times they are a changing
a hard rains agonna fall
shelter from the storm
sarah
just like a woman...cuz i break just like a little girl


ok i'm done...but the list is far from complete.

I LOVE BOB DYLAN!!!!!!

 

I'll try for 10 faves.... tough one!


Visions of Johanna
Simple Twist of Fate
Most Of The Time
Bob Dylan's Dream
Song To Woody
It's Alright Ma (I'm only bleeding)
Buckets of rain
Gates of Eden
Blowin' in the wind
Only a pawn in their game

Maybe worth saying too that Like A Rolling Stone should never be underestimated for the impact it's had on music and culture. A 6-1/2 minute AM radio single!

 

ah what the hell, here's another 10
Talking WW3 Blues
Girl Of The North Country
A Hard Rain's-a-gonna fall
Like A Rolling Stone
Positively 4th Street
She Belongs To Me
4th Time around
Every grain of sand
Shooting Star
Mississippi


this is like stealing candy from a baby!

 

Percy's Song

My back pages
The lonesome death of HAttie Carroll
Love minus zero/no limits
With God on our side
Girl from the north Country
Hurricane
Subterranean Homesick Blues

 

Hey Woody Guthrie, I wrote you a song, But Don't think Twice, because the Girl of the North Country, is Just like a woman, and like a rolling stone. So the Times they are a changin, whatcha gonna do? I'd hate to be you on that dreadfull day.

 

I agree that this is a very difficult question to answer, especially among bob-cessives!
Being one myself there is no way in hell I could pick just one!

By the way you only have a limited time to enter the Dylan pool...

 

I'll take one for every decade, to make it SOMEWHAT easier:

60's: The Times they are A-Changin' (this was really a lottery, I mean, all those CLASSICS to choose between! I took it because it was on the "Greatest hits" that got me to start listening to Dylan, and because the powerful lyrics)

70's: Tangled up in blue (because the song, by some reason, defines the word "summer" to me...)

80's: Man in the long black coat (don't really know WHY I like this song... it sounds dark and menacing...)

90's: Trying to get to heaven (sentimental and good. maybe this would play at my funeral?)

00's: High Water (sounds like a classic Dylan-song, took this even though Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum is a good example of what my brother calls "gangster blues", written by everyone's favourite songwriter).

 

A hard rains a gonna fall (I occasionally weep when I hear this song if the mood strikes me right or if I am high enough)
