Guest DustyDeviada Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Yep, as long as you don't take offence at all the God bothering stuff and just dig the songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig B Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 I never really liked the arrangements on those late 70's ones, a bit too much saxaphone. Whoo, I saw him live last monday!!! And I got a Bob Dylan carrier Bag! That made the 12 hour bus ride worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Atom Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 I really like Good as I Been to You from the 90's. The songs are all covers of traditional songs, and his voice is shot to fuck, but for some reason I just really like the overall vibe. Especially the song Blackjack Davey, it's brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-matthEw- Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 i dug out Good As I Been To You the other day and it is great. getting all Dylan albums, apart from Shot of Love and Burlesque Empire will provide you with some solid listening.

delboy Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 nice to see i'm not the only one who rates world gone wrong and good as i've been to you!!! both usually overlooked.1989's oh mercy is the best of his 80's outputand the latest one modern times whilst not essential is a damn fine listen!

Old Gold Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I agree whole heartedly. Modern Times is a real grower... sweet to listen to on the road, and nicely varied. Slow Train Coming is a pretty cool choice too.I'd still say Pre-Highway 61 stuff is the finest though. Also, if anyone doesn't in fact own it yet, buy the No Direction Home dvd right away. Amazing film, and there's 2 discs worth of Scorsese picture so it's damn good value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-matthEw- Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 modern times gets better with every listen. up to Blonde On Blonde is his best run of albums imo, but i was making a list of my favourite dylan songs a while back, and by far most of them were from 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s.hows this for a run of consecutive albums though, i doubt anyone has ever even came close to toppling this, and never will:FreewheelinTimes They Are A' ChangingAnother Side of Bob DylanBringing It All Back HomeHighway 61Blonde on Blonde......John Welsey Harding ?(not sure if it has bonafide classic status like the previous 6)Oh! and about 2 albums worth of unreleased material in that period that most artists would KILL to have written.
