What's your favorite Bob Dylan period?

And why.

Mine, the 60's. Without a doubt. The most creative period, his voice was at it's best, as was his playing. There's a lot of folk in his music there. Over time the folk element got pushed to the background a bit more. Although he does manage to recap it on certain albums. Still, the 60's for me.

60's for same reason, although I think his voice was at it's best in the mid 70's. Ever listened to the Rolling Thunder Revue(Bootleg Series #6)? The note he hits on the "I can hear that lonesome whistle blow" line in Tonight I'll be Staying Here with You is awesome.

Awesome poll. Nice to see someone else with Dylan love.

I'm going with the '60s period. You can't beat stuff like "Highway 61 Revisited" and "Freewheelin'". He has a TON of great songs from that period.

The '70s were also a great time for Dylan. He released a lot of great albums and songs from that decade as well. The '80s and '90s had their strong points, but not as many as the '60s or '70s.

I think it's a bit unfair to categorize Dylan by decades. He was drastically different in 1965 and 1963. You could seperate him in a hundred different eras because he was constantly evolving his music.

60's. Because I like the most songs from it.

"All along the watchtower..."

I like the 60s classics (Highway 61 revisited, Blonde on Blonde), but for me the '74 Blood on the Tracks is my favourite. I think the stripped down acoustic based songs bring out the genius in the lyrics better (Simple Twist of Fate, You're a Big Girl Now, Tangled Up in Blue). Great stuff! B)

Bob Dylan was at his best in the 60s i think.

[barhazan]

the John Wersly Harding (however you spell it) period.

The one where he could actually sing.

Oh wait, that never happened. Last option for me. Awesome song writer, but I just don't like his voice.

Definately the 60's

Anybody watch No Direction Home last night?

It was pretty good.

[Rumin]

Didn't catch it last night, but I'm going to watch Part 2 tonight and probably buy the DVD.

The four people who voted "Don't Like Dylan At All" should really check him out. Read his lyrics, at least.
