Bob Dylan has gone through different phases and eras, if you will, but has continued in his tradition of beautiful writing of both music and lyrics throughout. What are some of your favourite Bob Dylan songs or albums, or just favourite lines from different songs? I have many so share some of yours and I'll share some of mine.

Dude, I like a ton of his stuff as well. While he went through a time in the 80's where he moved in a direction away from his folk roots and drifted more towards rock&roll and even gospel where I didn't like the music as much, however you still have to respect the man, especially in those times as he was doing what he needed to do. The people were crazy about him and they were convinced they had him pegged but they didn't and he had to stick it to them by throwing a total spin in his sound and in his career and moving in an entirely different direction that he knew people wouldn't like. The guy's a hero.


myLot reputation of 83/100. jimbo45 (9380)  6 years ago

he knew that he could do what he wanted and to a large degree he still does.full power to his elbow.h,s like the present day shakespeare and in 400 yrs his work will be studied in schools.living legend.


myLot reputation of 85/100. kazookulele (139)  6 years ago

absolutely. he's still got it, have you listened much to his new album "modern times?" It's really good. It has a bit of a tom waits sound to it. Are you familiar with Tom Waits?


myLot reputation of 83/100. jimbo45 (9380)  6 years ago

sorry to take so long to get back on this but i think i was having problems getting back to old discussions.ive got modern times but ive been so busy that ive not had time to sit down with a big spliff and listen to it.im not that familiar with waits but i dare say that he must be good to if modern times has that sort of grain.i will get back to you in due course.probably sit down on xmas day when all that xmas crap is on tv,and the family have gone and listen to it then

My absolute favorite Bob Dylan song is Visions of Johanna. Probably becuase there is some meaning behind it for me. Some others that I love are:
Blowin in the Wind
Highway 61 Revisited
Like A Rolling Stone
Tangled Up in Blue
Shelter from the Storm
Subeterranean Homesick Blues
Rainy Day Women #12 & 35

None have touch me more than "Band of the Hand", it wasn't one of his best or chart toppers but it really gets to me even to this day.

Down these streets the fools rule
There's no freedom or self respect,
A knife's point or a trip to the joint
Is about all you can expect.

They kill people here who stand up for their rights,
The system's just too damned corrupt
It's always the same, the name of the game
Is who do you know higher up.

Band of the hand

The blacks and the whites,
The idiotic, the exotic,
Wealth is a filthy rag
So erotic so unpatriotic
So wrapped up in the American flag.

Witchcraft scum exploiting the dumb,
Turning children into punks and slaves
Whose heroes and healers are rich drug dealers
Who should be put in their graves.

Listen to me Mr. Pussyman
This might be your last night in a bed so soft
We're not pimps on the make, politicians on the take,
You can't pay us off.

We're gonna blow up your home of Voodoo
And watch it burn without any regret
We got the power we're the new government,
You just don't know it yet.

Band of the hand
Band of the hand
Band of the hand

For all of my brothers from Vietnam
And my uncles from World War II,
I'd like to say that it's countdown time now
And we're gonna do what the law should do.

And for you pretty baby,
I know you've seen it all.
I know your story is too painful to share.
One day though you'll be talking in your sleep
And when you do, I wanna be there.

For sure I would pick "Knockin' on Heaven's door." Woot woot. I just love that song, the lyrics themselves are fantabulous...but the way he sings it makes it even more fantabulous. It's a yummy song if you ask me!

Tangled up in blue
Hurricane
O Sister
Hard Rain
Everything on his new album Modern Times is fantastic!


Bob Dylan's Modern times is a classic!

myLot reputation of 85/100. kazookulele (139)  6 years ago

I agree, Modern Times is a great album. And speaking of tangled up in blue, Blood on the Tracks is probably my favourite Dylan album.

Not a huge Dylan fan except for the entire album "Desire". That just slays me. Must be that gypsy violin. My Dylan song? "Mozambique". Brings back some fond memories.


myLot reputation of 85/100. kazookulele (139)  6 years ago

Fair enough. Desire is a great album. "Hurricane" is simply amazing.
