the "Blood on the Tracks" alblum was his best.
She was with Big Jim/But she was leaning to the Jack of Hearts.
And Idiot Wind the best song...
I couldn't rate one as best - they are all so different. The first was my favorite, though. I remember listening to it over and over and over (stoned on grass of course) for hours on end the first day a friend brought it over. I just could not grasp that anyone could paint pictures with words like that; capture feelings and emotions like that. So stark, yet so rich and beautiful.
Tambourine Man is the most impressive, remarkable and memorable poetry that I have ever heard. That's just my personal feeling and opinion of course. I'm not saying it is the greatest ever written.
Oh, Joan Baez should be compared to Karen Carpenter or someone like that - not a poet like Dylan. Did she even write anything?
the "Blood on the Tracks" album was his best.

Oddly enough, I heard "Shelter From the Storm" on the radio this morning and had the exact same thought. |
"Like A Rolling Stone" is best rock song ever. Al Copper had expected to play guitar but discovered Mike Boolfield was handling the guitar. It was a kharma as Cooper's organ is spellbinding on that track and really put the exclamation point on a true masterpiece.
I once had a room mate who was also a Dylan fan. We argued constantly over that. I always considered "Desire" his best album; my room mate insisted it was "Blood on the Tracks."
We never changed our minds. :0)
