Bob Dylan's best song?
- Thread starter poker
- Start date
I was born in 1970..... and every one of his (that i've heard) make sense to me.... but again.... my CD player currently has Pink Floyd, Rush, Neil Young, and 2 of my kids CD's....
Dylan was such great song writer... there were artists in the 60's just chompin at the bit waiting for his next album so they could do a cover of his tunes...
cheers!

I love the classics, but my favourites have always been "Don't think twice, it's alright", "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" and, in first place, "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands". LOVE that song!!!!! And... "When the Ship comes in". Amazing. And yes, Young Dylan was really sexy. It's the poet-factor...
Jokerman for sure !!!
Tambourine Man
and although it's not a specific to Bob Dylan song.............
Tweeter and the Monkey Man
a Travelling Wilbury's song but written and sung by Bob with chorus by the Wilbuy's

Yeah.... Hendrix hit that one out of the park.... The absolute bench mark for covers.
Cheers!
I agree whole heartedly. As a matter of fact I find Dylan's voice so irritating that I cannot listen to it. If he comes on the radio the station gets changed immediately. I do like his writing though.
As usual, we're on the same wavelenght, Suzy. The songs from "Desire" and "Blood on the Tracks" are among my faves... Though the one that allways makes me think of Bob is "The Times They are a Changin'".... since he changed the times himself-- more than once! Hmm... but then there's Watchtower, Hurricane Carter, Hard Rain, Slow Train.... Maybe a top 10 would be better.
Just heard Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 and thought of this old thread..... I was like 12 the first time I heard this song. Had no idea back then you could sing a song about gettin stoned. I may have pee'd a little laughing so hard back then...
cheers!
cheers!
No question, Like A Rolling Stone at 5:55 min. long. At a time when most songs were only 2:30-3:00 min. long to be played on radio, this was one that broke the mold and was more often than not the slow song that closed many dances at HS.
It's possible to say Hamlet is Shakespeare's greatest play, but Dylan's greatest song....impossible to pick. Not saying it's best, but something about Visions of Johanna might make it my favourite. About Jokerman, anyone else love the rockin version he did on Letterman much as I do?
