Your Favorite Bob Dylan Song

[prisz25]

I have so many but right now

Blowin' in the Wind
and
Like a Rolling Stone

Bob Dylan is the best!

Post yours!!!

This changes all the time for me.

Right now, I'd have to say "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" (both the acoustic, and the Rolling Thunder Revue versions)

But "Tangled up in Blue", "Desolation Row", "Like a Rolling Stone", and "Idiot Wind" are up there too.

 

[Jack In The Box]

Ballad of a Thin Man

 

[EdgeVox]

It's All Over Now, Baby Blue

Xavier

 

[VertigoGal]

Blowin in the Wind, Tangled Up in Blue, Shelter from the Storm

 

[the rockin edge]

With God on Our Side has my fav Dylan lyrics...All Along The Watchtower is probably my fav overall song, although that's probably because of all the amazing covers of it over the years

 

[IWasBored]

positively 4th street


all the other dylan songs that i like are songs i prefer when others cover them. (mike ness doing "don't think twice it's alright", u2 or hendrix doing all along the watchtower, the stones doing like a rolling stone, etc)

 

[If you shout...]

"If You See Her, Say Hello"

There's no need to explain, nor to qualify, nor to debate. Calling it a masterpiece is hardly enough.

 

[lazarus]

"If You See Her, Say Hello"

There's no need to explain, nor to qualify, nor to debate. Calling it a masterpiece is hardly enough.

Word up...I prefer the raw version on The Bootleg Series Vol.1-3, because the lyric change on Blood on the Tracks sounds totally awkward ("...who always has respected her/for doin' what she did" becomes "...who always has respected her/for gettin' out and gettin' free", or something close to that).

My personal favorite has been Jokerman ever since Dylan opened his Woodstock '94 set with it. The album version sounds a bit dated with the 80's production and Sly & Robbie, but I admire his foray into reggae, and all the live versions from that '94 tour just fucking kill. The lyrics are some of his most evocative too.

Like a Rolling Stone has to be my favourite song but Subterranean Homesick Blues comes a close second. Bob Dylan

Look out kid
They keep it all hid

 

[typhoon]

"Simple Twist of Fate"

 

[kosull]

"Simple Twist of Fate"

Lyrically, probably this. Musically it's a toss up between Like A Rolling Stone, Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues, and Highway 61 Revisited. (See a pattern emerging - best album ever!)

 

[patske]

Man in the long black coat, blind willie mc tell, desolation row and above all Ballad of a thin man..

"Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?"

 

[AcrobatMan]

lay lady lay

 

[barlowdog]

Like a Rolling Stone
Masters of War
Positively 4th St
You're a Big Girl Now
Subterranean Homesick Blues

 

[hiphop]

I Want You.. great song for the lyrics and harmonica.

 

[onebloodonelife]

Masters of War, the entire song has so much feeling...the live version on the No Direction Home Soundtrack

It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) is another favorite. I love this line: "You lose yourself, you reappear
You suddenly find you got nothing to fear"

 

[martha]

Tangled Up in Blue

 

[clifedge]

Like a Rolling Stone
Tomorrow is a Long Time

 

[LMP]

Like a Rolling Stone and Mr. Tambourine Man

 

[I'm Ready]

There are too many to choose, but I'll narrow it down to 10

-Idiot Wind
-Simple Twist of Fate
-If You See Her, Say Hello
-Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts
-Like a Rolling Stone
-Desolation Row
-I Want You
-Gates of Eden
