Your favourite Bob Dylan album.

Recommended Posts

Never bought a Dylan album till my 48th birthday (51 a couple of days ago) - although well aware of his contribution to music . Since then have been buying up his back catalogue (selectively - but as FOPP sell most of his stuff at £5 a go can't grumble). Enough rambling;

 

My faves;

 

Bringing it all back home

Blood on the tracks

Blonde on blonde

Highway 61 (revisited)

Basement Tapes

 

Has anybody written so much good stuff - and I find most of his observations are still as pertinent today as they were 30 - 40 years ago.

I can remember paying in advance for my copy of 'live at boudokan' and i was'nt dissapointed when i finally got my hands on it.

I still rate it as one of the best live albums ever.

Longcols picked the best ones already! His selections include 4 of the best albums ever made - by any artist (I was never a fan of The Basement tapes though).

 

Of the lesser known Dylan albums not mentioned so far, I love Self Portrait, Infidels, all the Bootleg Series albums, New Morning, Hard Rain (for the ultimate live version of Idiot Wind) and the Biograph box set.

Too right!! I get all my Dylan stuff from there... Bargain.

 

In no particular order: The Freewheelin' has some fantastic songs,

"Masters Of War" etc. Blonde and Blonde & Blood On The Track's are also brilliant albums. The guy has wrote a lot of dross, but he's also wrote some of the greatest song's in history.

'The Freewheelin Bob Dylan' is probably my favourite although ALL OF HIS 60s ALBUMS are excellent!
