He (Dylan) probably likes classic rock. Besides he's too busy making out with that spoiled little woman. But I like hateful neurotic spoiled women. They are much more interesting.

why do you include dylan's debut album in the "other" category? fantabulous album in its own write. (or is it right??)

i am leaning towards "self portrait"....blood on the tracks is just too obvious....

sorry man. bad counting.

probably the album that i consider the best, from him, besides Highway, is The Bootleg Series Vol 5. (H.S. Thompson called it the best rock album ever.) See? The "Other" option is privileged. Like beer, with whiskey. Tastes like chocolate.

Lovely record with a lot of variety and interesting lyrics on a range of subjects. Some of the most beautiful playing and maybe the best sound on any Dylan record.

Reply #9 - Jun 17^th, 2008 at 6:28am Mr P You might want to amend some of the options for best album'. No one in their right mind is going to pick guff like Saved, Knocked out Loaded, Down in the Groove or Dylan and the Dead, yet you've omitted universally acclaimed albums like Desire, The Basement Tapes and some of the Bootleg Series releases

So I was the only one who chose Street Legal....
Highway 61, Blonde on Blonde and Blood On The Tracks and Time Out Of Mind sure are "better" and more important albums. Highway 61 is probably the most genius and important album by any artist I think, yet - there is something about the mystery of Street Legal that makes it my personal favourite - but Highway 61 is still in a unique position for me though. "Ranking" is a difficult sport.

Highway 61 got my vote because the Basement Tapes weren't available for selection. It's a tough call - only the Stones have an equivalent period of back-to-back-to-back genius like Bob's 64-68 run of records, and there is nothing quite like the majestic beauty of Blonde on Blonde, the mystery of John Wesley Harding or the "you are there" reinvention of rock and roll and popular song forms of Bringing It All Back Home. But to me, in terms of words, sounds, melodies, righteousness and rawk, Highway 61 is the most staggeringly awesome record of the 60s, and until Love and Theft it was also Dylan's funniest. The Basement Tapes, on the other hand, especially in their complete form (Tree with Roots bootleg) are Dylan's "Exile on Main St".

So they got that going for them.

Time Out Of Mind gets my vote. I also love listening to Oh Mercy and Modern Times. I have been spinning them daily since Bob's birthday last month. Today though I am changing out those CDs and will play boots from this leg of the tour that my second favorite Bob has sent me. (You are the BEST) Wink

Getting myself ready to see 4 shows August. Better seen on weed!

peace out,

Dude - didn't we just get done talking about this in the Beatles thread? Pepper??? Ew! Let It Be?? A perfect record?? Poppycoddle! Abbey Road?? Side two?? BLOATZART! The stretches from BIABH to JWH and BegBanq to EOMS are gaffless. You can't tell me that SGTP to LetItB is a gaffless period. Magical Mystery Tour movie + Yellow Submarine movie & soundtrack = MAJOR embarrassments to "rock and roll".
