Really got into Bob Dylan around 2009, with Blonde on Blonde as my favorite album. Really like anything from him over the first decade and a half of records ('62-'78 or so), though his 2020 album was really, really good, too. I also think his '80s stuff is terribly underrated.
Favorite songs are Isis, Changing of the Guards, and Like A Rolling Stone.
What is your favorite Dylan song? Favorite album?

I agree about his 80's output. He said in interviews that he purposely put out bad music in the 80's, but I mean I guess I can see that but I still think it's good.
But of course my favorites are your typical 62-69 Dylan.
5 Songs:
Love Minus Zero/No Limit
Don't Think Twice It's Alright
Girl From The North Country (Freewheelin version)
Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues
Rainy Day Women #12 & 35
5 Albums:
Nashville Skyline
Bringing It All Back Home
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
Blood On The Tracks
Blonde on Blonde

Hadn't heard that about his '80s stuff, but I remember him saying the '70 album Self-Portrait was purposely bad, hahaha. It's...unique. But I don't mind it. |

Self Portrait was definitely him trying to bomb. I think maybe his 80s output was, as I've heard it put, he was felt out of place like a relic of the past. It wasn't until the early 90s he felt really motivated. I can't remember how much involvement he had in terms of writing the Wilburys records but those were both good. |

Yup, I’ve heard him say that the ‘80s was the decade of…a word that starts with M and rhymes with what you’d have if you mixed “Max Caster,” with “PlayStation,” but took out “Max” and “Play.” With Michael, Madonna, Reaganism, Young Republican Alex P. Keaton-types, the ‘60s activists were kind of left in the dust by the 1980s. Wilburys stuff was awesome. What did you think of his Born-Again period? To me the comeback seemed to be with Time Out of Mind in 1997. He’s been the “wise old man” ever since. I know that the ‘80s ended with critics coming back around to him with Oh Mercy and the Wilburys, but Under the Red Sky, Good As I Been To You, and World Gone Wrong seemed to be a return to hate from the critics in the early 1990s. MTV Unplugged too. I think the 30th Anniversary show at MSG got good reviews, though. But like I said, TOOM was a huge return and deservedly so. |

The Born Again triliogy of records I like 2 and 1/2 I'll say. It started strong because Slow Train Coming is the best of the three to me, and I wish he would have kept that funk/gospel sound throughout the three. Shot of Love was my least favorite of the three. Dylan going Christian didn't really affect his career the way it did say Little Richard. Richard was at the top of his game when he ditched Rock. Dylan you could argue it helped him along his journey. But then again he went back to being Jewish after three years. What do I know. I agree with Time Out of Mind. It's fantastic and brought Dylan back. It's a great record. |

Guns N' Roses version of Knocking on Heaven's Door. Dylan is insufferable and sounds like a dying rat when he sings.

My family gives me crap about Dylan's voice a lot because they know he's my favorite, but I actually like his voice up to the mid-'90s or so. But if you go see him live now, he is truly insufferable - that's the perfect word. Don't ever waste money on a ticket to see The Never Ending Tour. I did see him once, when my obsession was high. It was early November 2009 in Bloomington, Indiana, and in a way there's kind of a museum-like atmosphere to the whole thing. I think everyone is excited to be in the same room at the same time with a guy who impacted music and even civil rights so much. At the same time, you're listening to someone who just can't "go" anymore, or even come close. It's really, really, really bad. |
