BQ: Any Dylan quotes you'd like to share?
BQ2: Which band tomorrow?
BQ3: Ever have an encounter with one of The Shadow People (I'm freaking out about it)?
Songs:
Idiot Wind - hard to go against the iconic "LARS" (an old standard of mine, which I even performed at my H.S. reunion) but he includes himself in the lambasting with Idiot Wind - last line "We're idiots babe, it's a wonder we can even feed ourselves" - which a lot of people seem to overlook.
"Tangled Up In Blue" - no contest - one of his very best ever. Hurricane purpose driven and good, but . . .
"Blowin' In the Wind" - covers larger issues. "STOF" is a great song and much more complex, in concept and execution, but got to go with the greater good.
"Ballad of a Thin Man" - no contest. "LLL" shows a vocal talent ("singing") that many people don't think/realize Dylan has/had, but is far below BOATM in all other respects.
"It Ain't Me Babe" - I like SFTS better in many ways, but I think IAMB is more iconic, for lack of a better word.
"Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" - just plain fun - important in music. COTG is perhaps too complex, although, as usual, I do like it.
"Masters of War" - perhaps his greatest angry song, great concept. GSS is not a favorite of mine.
"All Along the Watchtower" - call this one almost even - more gut level/darker than the more complex MTM.
"The Times They Are A-Changin' - no contest.
Albums:
"Another Side of Bob Dylan" - a more definitive direction for him.
"Blood On The Tracks" - I generally consider this his "best" album.
"Bringing It All Back Home" - more great songs and more of a concept.
"Highway 61 Revisited" - if I sat down and played these two, it would be the one I was listening to at the time. BOB is more mature, H61R is more spontaneous.
"Desire" - surprised myself here. JWH is one of my favorites (as are many others), but Desire won the coin toss (thinking about the songs).
Members:
Dylan - no contest (with anyone)
BQ - "I always thought I might want to be a doctor. Where else could you ask a woman to take off her clothes and send a bill to her husband?"
BQ2 - Hendrix
BQ3 - haven't bumped into one yet - see them out of the corners of my eyes sometimes, I think, maybe.
