I hate Bob Dylan.
There, I feel much better now.

Ooh I forgot Desire. Good album, despite "Mozambique", which is a disgrace.
The Hurricane... what a great song. Only Dylan could get away with a lyric like this:
"You'd be doing society a favour
That sonofabitch is brave and getting braver
We want to put his ass in stir
We want to pin this triple mur-
-der, on him
He ain't no Gentleman Jim.
I mean, that's genuinely rubbish... but when Dylan does it, it's genius

Yep, pretty much go along with that choice and order.
great song.
Dylans's someone who I have never sat down and listened too (yes, yes I know) I plan on putting that right this week. I'll let you know what I think.
Any recommendations on the best album to start with?
Any recommendations on the best album to start with?
The freewheelin' Bob Dylan would be my recommendation. Great album
I always knew you had great taste (except in football matters)
Ditto!
Ok, mate...lets see if we match on this...best song from each of these albums?
Like a Rolling Stone
Tangled Up In Blue
It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)
A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall
Visions of Johanna
'Masters of war' is my favourite Dylan track.
Highway '61 Revisited
Only cos that's what I started with
You could go chronological and start with his Woody Guthrie folk stuff
Will do.
Started listeneing to Blonde on Blonde last night, but switched it off after a few tracks as I wasn't in the mood for it, I'll try it again later.
Start at the beginning. Or with Freewheelin', close enough.
Really?
Totally agree with it, love the anger and all that... but he's written many many better songs
Yes he has written better songs (Like a Rolling Stone, The Times They Are A-Changin' etc.), but my favourite song isn't the best song. Make sense?
No
Weirdo
Weirdo
I can kind of understand this, as Brownsville Girl is one of the best songs he has ever written (albeit with Sam Shephard), yet comes from one of his worst albums.
Ditto!
Ok, mate...lets see if we match on this...best song from each of these albums?
Like a Rolling Stone or Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
Tangled Up In Blue - Yep
It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) - Yep
A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall or Masters of War
Visions of Johanna - 4th Time Around
I wouldn't fight you over any of them though.
I can't choose between the first four songs on Blood on the Tracks
Simple Twist of Fate, Tangled Up in Blue, You're a Big Girl Now, Idiot Wind... now that is storming out the fecking traps

Incredible album.
I have the acoustic demos as well done a couple of days before the album was recorded, with some of the lyrics a bit different.
Idiot wind is my personal favorite. One of the best songs he's made.
I was going to put that in but I left it at studio albums. Must dig out Time Out of Mind though, I've had that for years and hardly listened to it.
I wouldn't disagree that it's probably the technically the best song but I like some of the simpler ones better (I think).
my top 10 Dylan songs
A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall

Desolation Row
Knockin' on Heaven's Door
Rainy Day Women
Spanish is the Loving Tongue

The New York sessions version's great too
As hate songs go it's got to be the greatest ever, maybe along with I Am The Resurrection
Good song, but still, we get the message.
Desolation Row
I Want You
The Hurricane
Tangled Up in Blue
Simple Twist of Fate
Idiot Wind
Stuck inside a Mobile
Visions of Johanna
Tambourine Man
Subterranean Homesick Blues
Though I have basically just said the first ten off the top of my head. And I've Freewheelin' and Street Legal, can't remember all the songs...
That's much too hard - like the 100 top films that I said I'd do in a moment of weakness then had to boil my brains to do it any kind of justice.
Off the top of my head...
Masters of War
Love Sick
A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall
Tangled Up in Blue
Idiot Wind
Like a Rolling Stone
Subterranean Homesick Blues

What the feck is that? Simple minded cretin.

It was the influence of the 'Tangled'... if any excuse is admissable

You should listen to Costello's I Want You. Blistering hate mixed with psychopathic jealousy...perfect for all you scorned lovers out there!
