LOL...we bring up Dylan at the same time.

Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison have admitted as much.

And they convinced him to "Go Electric".

No doubt about it, the two put the blood in the water and much greater music flowed from the well. (I LOVE mixing metaphors).

BTW...speaking of Dylan, I consider The Band (based on their first two albums) to be second only to The Beatles.

We have similar tastes. The Band's 2nd album - "The Band", aka "The Brown Album" - is probably my favorite album of all time. Their 3rd album (Stage Fright) doesn't get much pub, but it's not that far behind the first two in quality, imo. And their live Rock of Ages is as good any any of them (but I put live albums in a different category).

Do you like Robbie Robertson's solo releases? They come out once every 7 years or so, but they're pretty darn good. ....although nowhere near as good as what The Band put out.
