Your Favorite Bob Dylan Song

[lazarus]

Like A Rolling Stone



but I like the Stones version of it better

That's like preferring U2's version of Paint it Black.

 

[U2Larkin04]

damn, this is hard, i like Tangled Up In Blue, The Hurricane, Subterranean Homesick Blues, Blowin In The Wind, and so many more

- Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again
- Mr. Tambourine Man
- Like a Rolling Stone
- The Times They Are A-Changin'
- The Hurricane
- Tangled Up in Blue

Ok, so it's 6. Shoot me.

That's like preferring U2's version of Paint it Black.

just about everybody has mentioned my favorites


dylan

Yep. And one song is just impossible. Some music magazine just made a list of Dylan's 100 Best Songs and even then there wasn't a single bad song in that list.

As for my favourites, here are a few:
- Tangled Up In Blue (The Bootleg Series' version with Bob's buttons from his denim jacket rattling on the guitar)
- Like A Rolling Stone
- Ballad Of A Thin Man
- Desolation Row
- Most Of The Time
- Love Sick
- Rainy Day Women Nos. 12 & 35
- The Times They Are A-Changin'
- If Not For You (again The Bootleg Series' version)
- Positively 4th Street

And then there are lots of other songs I haven't even heard properly (bought the Biograph boxset just a few weeks ago).

And yes IWB, that was exactly lazarus' point.
If it isn't, I'll repeat his post as it would be mine (except that I don't think the version by The Rolling Stones sucks, but it isn't as good as the Dylan original either).
