bob dylan - blood on the tracks john lennon - imagine sex pistols - never mind the bollocks couldnt choose just one

what a great pube it is as well!

HAHA I love it!

Probably best to check out the album, The Mountain, by Steve Earle as a bridge between rock and bluegrass, would help you into it easily. Besides its a lovey album.

Other common open tunings would be E B E G# B E - E D A D F# A D - D Basically take any chord and tune your strings till just strumming it completley open will give you that chord....Probably only wise to tune any string up by a tone at the most otherwise there is a high risk of it snapping.

Down the Highway is great indeed. Just leant it to =ShaunF= last week in actual fact. Have you got The Bootleg Series Ross? 53 unreleased songs, its outstanding how many great songs that most guys could only dream of writing he can throw away. Dylans effect on The Beatles is undeniably huge, and vice versa. It seems to me, Bringing It All Back Home is Dylan restoring his childhood faith in rock and roll, which was due to his love of new bands like The Beatles. Also The Beatles' Rubber Soul, when they outgrew the "yeah yeah yeahs" and "woohs" that frequented their early stuff, would certainly not have happened without Dylan. Probably his greatest achievment was showing the world that rock and roll could have a powerful meaning, and could be taken as a serious artform, not just a bunch of catchy phrases strung together over a 12 bar blues.

Donovan certainly was a clone when he started out, even though Donovan was a far more acomplished musician. But like Dylan (a Woody Guthrie clone back in the day) he soon found his feet and go onto make some great original stuff.

It does help knowing that Im degrading that album further everytime i mention it. What was Bob thinking? Substiting it on in the dying seconds of the game?? It was suicide. Luckily, I woke up in time not to see the consequences

Empire Burlesque gives me nightmares....literally

Shit! I forgot Burlesque Empire, it easily outclasses Blonde On Blonde.

Best Bob Dylan album I hear you say? Hmmmm, so very, very hard to choose. I'd say Blonde On Blonde. 14 tracks of pure genuis made at the height of his creative peak. Fave songs from Blonde on Blonde? Probably Visions of Johanna, or, Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands. Favourite album? For shits and giggles? Hmmmm Highway 61 is up there - The album that first got me into the man as I'd learned Like A Rolling Stone on guitar without actually hearing the song, so dusted off my Dads copy and was taken by storm. So many memories. Favourite song? Like a Rolling Stone, Ballad Of A Thin Man, Desolation Row Also - Blood on The Tracks is one of the those albums that appear such a simply put together album, but the more you listen to it, the sheer genius of the man becomes apparent. His best album of the 70s and this record and Desire, show just how close his 70s peak was to his 60s peak. Favourite songs : Tangled Up In Blue, If You See Her, Say Hello and Idiot Wind. Hounarable mentions to Time Out Of Mind, Desire, Bringing It All Back Home and The Freewheelin.

HAHA:O Yes I did mean Steven Patrick Morrissey. And Brown wrote a large proportion of the Roses material (at least gets credit for most) but to me its his solo work that sets him apart as a lyricist, it beats anything off of second coming.

1. Mark Everett (Eels) 2. Neil Morrissey (Smiths) 3. Ian Brown (Stone Roses) 4. Bob Dylan 5. Ryan Adams

Thats pretty cool. Dylan making these appearences, upcoming European tour. Must mean there is a new album in the pipeline!

I'll be going to that for sure!!!

Mr. Paley - absolutey hated him as my brass teacherX(
