Any Bob Dylan fans on here? What's your favourite Dylan album and song?
I've just bought 3 to add to the 3 I already owned, but I've only listened to Blonde On Blonde so far. But it goes right to the top of the list, I think it's awesome. It doesn't have the one or two standout songs of some of the other albums, but as a whole, I prefer it. I liked Blood On The Tracks and Highway 61, but not so much The Times Are A Changin' compared to the others at least. I've still got The Freewheelin' and Bringing It All Back Home to listen to though.
And my favourite song has to be Rolling Stone or Tangled Up In Blue.

Are you kidding :razz:
My favourite album is Bringing It All Back Home and my favourite of his songs is on there too - It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding). Though I do love She Belongs to Me and Love Minus Zero, too.
Freewheelin' is fantastic too, Hard Rain makes me cry. I suggest you listen to those two as soon as you have enough time to do them justice and really listen. The best thing about Dylan is that his songs really do never stop giving, I've been listening to him since I was in the womb and I'll never get bored. My interpretations now are wildly different to what they were when I was 8... 12... 15... 20. He is a constant inspiration to me and basically I can't express how much I love his music and poetry and art.
His self-titled debut is good too, especially Song to Woody.
My favourite songs change all the time, I have always had a soft spot for Visions of Johanna, You Ain't Goin Nowhere, All I Really Want to Do from Another Side of Bob Dylan, With God on Our Side from TTTAAC. It's considered pretty wrong among Dylan fans to like Planet Waves, but I adore it - especially You Angel You. For more cathartic moods Positively 4th Street is pretty spot on.
If you're interested in a mix of well-known hits and really obscure songs that have never otherwise been officially recorded then Biograph is a fantastic buy, it's so concise and the only such compilation of an artist's songs that I can listen to from start to finish and then over again. I especially like Lay Down Your Weary Tune.
Man I love Dylan, I could babble for hours...
Yeh it wouldnt be the best album to start of listening too...id suggest the Freewheelin album or blonde on blonde...
