Graham Knight Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I like this with Mr Zimmerman singing along with Johnny Cash to Carl Perkins composition Matchbox. Bob Dylan could have been a rock'n'roller if he wanted to:and here is a local Bob doing Matchbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I was having a Dylan night last night and listened to a couple of his 80's efforts 'Infidels' and 'Empire Burlesque' and actually they feature some really good songs.I like his Christmas album as well but not to be compared to his other work, I tend to listen as a stand alone album, its most surreal!

Christy Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 As far as individual tracks go, I am crazy about some of his later, more wistful stuff like Mississippi and Not Dark Yet. They are incredible. The Slow Train Coming record, and its title track in particular, is probably my most-listened-to Dylan record; I think it is one of the best records of all time. One More Cup of Coffee, O Sister, You're a Big Girl Now, Visions of Johanna, Tom Thumb's Blues, Ballad of a Thin Man, Girl From the North Country...Jesus, the list is endless.Without question, the greatest artist ever.

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Dylan is one of those artists that I've listened to so much, I've got most of his back catalogue stored in my head. One of my favourite songs that hasn't been mentioned is "If you see her, say hello" from Blood on the Tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 But really, pretty much all of them up until Nashville Skyline, then just a few until Planet Waves, then everything off Blood On The Tracks and Desire, then pretty much nothing until World Gone Wrong, then some intermittent peaks and troughs. I think most Dylan fans would concur.Disagree, as mentioned by others Slow Train Coming and Infidels are both good, aided of course by The Knopf. And if you haven't already, go and seek out his Theme Time radio shows. They are fucking amazing, he is hilarious (good tunes too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I think the thing with Dylan is there is always quality in his work even the albums in the 80's such as Infidels and Empire Burlesque don't sound too bad production wise unlike say the Stones whose 80's albums suffered badly from the poor tinny production techniques of the time.Even those who may not like his gruff tones surely must appreciate his body of work and legacy. Long love Bob! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
