username Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 In order of release:- The Freewheelin- The Times They Are A Changin- Bringing It All Back Home- Highway 61 Revisited- Blonde On Blonde- Blood On The Tracks- Desire- The Basement Tapes (just phenomenal stuff with The Band!) - Oh Mercy- Time Out Of Mind- Love And Theft- Modern Times- Together Through Life- TempestThe entire Bootleg Series are fantastic as well! I love volume 4 and volume 8 in particular. But they're all very very good! I've always felt Nashville Skyline is a bit underrated as well. Nice album!

To me it's by far his best album, followed by Blood on the tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it's by far his best album, followed by Blood on the tracks.The songs are good (although neither one is particular standout to me) but I hate the voice he uses on that album. Besides, I decided to stop at ten. There are others I like.I nominate Blonde on Blonde for the most overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) I nominate Blonde on Blonde for the most overrated.An album that includes Visions Of Johanna and Just Like A Woman simply cannot be overrated.There isn't a bad song on there! I mean... One Of Us Must Know, Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat, I Want You, Stuck Inside Of Mobile... Those are all absolute masterpieces imo.

Guest Len B'stard Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 To be honest all the ones i've heard are fuckin' A+ albums, can't fuck with any of em though i haven't ventured far past John Wesley Harding, i liked Nashville Skyline having heard it once through and i've heard one of other of his albums straight through and thought it was a good solid album which was New Morning. I think i might've heard Blood on the Tracks one through too but generally speaking from debut to John Wesley Harding are my area of expertise when it comes to Dylan and they are all fuckin' fantastic Sounds like high praise for such a load of albums but they seriously are.I think his debut don't get enough love.

Sad Eyed Lady is the only really good song, and even that I'd say doesn't break Dylan's top 20 songs, not by a long shot; Stuck Inside... and Visions are decent too, and a 3-4 others are passable but the rest of the album is crap.

dalsh327 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) My problem with Blonde on Blonde is that Rainy Day Women borderlines on a novelty song, but it should be listened to as a whole. It's one you'll eventually like again.Blood on the Tracks is like reserve wine - you have to let that one sit and age. It's something that resonates at an older age.Best album overall for me is Hwy 61 Revisited.I took a liking to the Witmark Demos when they came out.Surprised no one brought up the Xmas album as their favorite. Planet Waves is pretty underrated. Basement Tapes is more of a Band album, but love the Complete Basement Tape bootleg.

Out of Dylan's more famous songs it's by far the worst.But it's also one of his most clever songs. Everyone gets the "everyone must get stoned" part, but not what the song's really about. It has some of the "Hwy 61 Revisited" freewheelin' chaos to it. I just think for the mood of that whole album, it didn't fit in. It was a hit for him, and as Axl said "I want a fuckin' hit" when Bob asked Axl to cover KOHD. Why GNR never did Dylan's 30th is a shame though.

The Real McCoy Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Not trying to derail the topic, but I never "got" Dylan. I don't know if I just can't stand the guy's voice or what, but I'll almost always prefer a cover version of his songs by someone else over the original.Am I missing something here?

His voice changed quite a lot as he got older. Give Modern Times or Time Out of Mind a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luciusfunk Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I've only listened to Highway 61 Revisited and Slow Train Coming. I prefer the latter. I know that's not a popular opinion. I'm just not a huge Dylan fan, though I did name my son after him. I love Hurricane from Desire though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Bob Dylan is the most consistent when recording great albums. He had to write intentionally bad albums to keep people from thinking he is a genius. His works from 1961 to 1969 was phenomenal. I have been collecting his discography over the years and I am almost done. His work from John Wesley Harding and on to Tempest is often overlooked because people just focus on his folk and folk turned rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GivenToFly Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 I've been really into Street Legal lately.AND THERE'S NO TIME TO THINKSuch an underrated record (and song)! I bump that one mainly in fair weather, though. Looking forward to summer. I'll always associate that album with living in NYC in the summer. That tune in particular really speaks to me.I wish Dylan was on YouTube. Fun fact: the first time I heard that song I was taking a shit.

Georgy Zhukov Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) Changing of the Guards was epic first time hearing it.New Morning is one of his underrated albums. He just kept things simple and still wrote brilliant songs.I have been driving to and from work listening nothing but Bob Dylan. All of his studio albums. Been fun. Too bad Dylan has never been released on CD because I have everything but that. I know it is suppose to be his worse album but to be frank, Dylan's worse is the best most artists can do.

I think it's not the most coherent album he's made, but I do enjoy it a lot! There's supposed to be a European CD version under a slightly altered title, but I haven't ever come across it.

Lithium Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Blood on the Tracks is like reserve wine - you have to let that one sit and age. It's something that resonates at an older age.Not really. It's been my favourite Dylan album since I was like 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
