What are You’re Favourite Bob Dylan Songs?
-
Joe, I think Street Legal is an underrated album. Love Señor, Changing Of The Guards & Where are you Tonight? I agree about Serve Somebody. He did some unforgettably moving songs during his religious period.

Thanks for your reply John,
Harrison & Dylan did a recording session together in 1970 playing each others songs. It hasn’t been officially released yet but there is some cool performances. I agree his performance of If Not For You is wonderful.

I must say we were really spoilt for good music in the nineteen-sixties. We had the British Invasion, but we also had Bob Dylan, and what an awesome and prolific writer he proved to be. Both the Beatles and The Rolling Stones had their own particular camps, with some crossover, but no one was more polarising than Dylan. People seemed to either love him or hate him. Initially he had a huge Following from the Folkies of the early sixties. However, many of these fans deserted him in droves when he “sold out” and went electric in 1965.
I am one of the fans who was starting to really get into pop music when Dylan’s “Like A Rolling Stone” erupted onto the airwaves, bringing Dylan’s music to a more diverse and universal audience and at the same time, the debate over Dylans singing escalated, as did the worth of his latest sensation, “Like A rolling Stone”.
After the initial shock, I decided it was a brilliant recording and so began my love affair with Dylan music. I liked all his sixties albums, but my favourites would have to be –
Highway 61 Revisited – 1965 and Blonde on Blonde – 1966. However, there is much that I liked on his “Nashville Skyline” and “John Wesley Harding“ albums. Of course there were also highlights with all his other sixties albums though.
My love affair with Dylan began to fade by the mid seventies.

Howard Right on, one of my favorites along this one. A hard rain gonna fall

Yep! Everyone must get stoned, especially at a Rolling Stones concert!

Howard spot on. The thing that makes Dylan so special. He knew what he wanted to do. It was going to shock everyone. But he believe in it and did it. Especially in those days when the record industries dictated what you were going to do. Dylan stuck to his guns and change the world of folk music. He had an association with Johnny Cash and did a song on the Nashville Skyline. Girl from the North Country. They were both Rebels and made it worked for them. Amen to that…

Howard great Stones video. Hey at Stones concerts and all concerts. The good old days.
