Bob Dylan's best song?
- Thread starter poker
- Start date
I'd go with "Like A Rolling Stone", right from the first note it's a classic. Too many other great ones to choose from, maybe "Positively 4th Street" would be next or "Highway 61 Revisited". They all have great lyrics.
Everything from "Highway 61 Revisited" should be on there.
They’re selling postcards of the hanging
They’re painting the passports brown
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors
The circus is in town

Have to admit I don't know all of Bob Dylan's songs but I've always liked "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtkVGClqrT4
Even better though is the cover by Mike Ness (Social Distortion): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16GDt2XHESw
I also think Bob Dylan was quite hot when he was young - ladies, am I alone here?

Agreed!
Always felt that classic album was his best album.
It defined those turbulent times and many of those songs still apply today.
Aside from those already listed:
Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts
Tangled Up In Blue
Mississippi
All Along the Watchtower
Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall
The man has been simply amazing. Prolific in his writing and touring. His career is incomparable.

Hmmm, my short list would be - everything the other guy's have mentioned plus "I want you", "Forever Young" and about 15 others. And yes, when I was a young oagre (in the 1970's) and dating intellectual college girls, my then SO admitted really, really, really wanting to fuck Bob Dylan. And then added that all of her female friends wanted to do him as well. It was hard to argue or get pissed off. Just like intellectual college girls nowadays want to fuck Johnny Depp. It's sort of natural, inevitable and in a weird way, kinda laudable.
But seriously, Jokerman has to be kicked off the list. The lyrics are really dumb in places.

Like A Rolling Stone, 5min:55sec long of sloooooww dancing in a time when 3 minutes or less was the norm to be played on the radio. Hmmmmmm, Flashback!!
have you listened to the Four Seasons version from the 60,s?...i dont know how to link You tube,,sorry.....its a little less loud than the Mike ness version..but then again . im almost 60, and you are 20 something lol..
Then Dylan licensed it to the Bank of Montreal for their commercials in the 90s...
Still a great song, one of my favourites.
