Best Dylan Song

[Jaguar]

Clearly a very self-explanatory poll.

You can list a top three or top five in the thread, if you choose.

My favorites:

1. Like a Rolling Stone
2. The Times They are A-Changing
3. Don't Think Twice, It's Alright
4. Forever Young
5. All Along the Watchtower

Oh, man! Tough, tough, tough. Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 isn't on the list. Hard to include them all.

I have a soft spot for Lay Lady Lay, though.

I do love Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, but Subterrian Homesick Blues is my favorite.

All Along the Watchtower would be the best for me but then I don't know too many of those listed above.

How the f*** can one pick one best Dylan song? One best Beatles song? One best Sinatra song? One best Elvis song?

Just from your list there are at least seven that qualify. Just one? No way...

[Verto]

Bob Dylan is grossly overrated: decent at best.

That said, I think Lay Lady Lay, Knocking on Heaven's Door and Blowing in the Wind are his best.

Tangled Up In Blue.

Oh, and Gone With The Wind.

Forever Young. Black Crowes do that one great in concert. Version on the Last Waltz is pretty cool too.

I also love Babe Let Me Follow You Down, though thats not actually a Dylan original.

[cubbyphan1138]

I Shall Be Released should have been an option too. Better than most of the songs on that list actually.

I prefer Hendrix' version to Dylan's.

[Mr. President]

I voted for The Times They Are a-Changin', but I actually like the Byrds' version better. It sounds younger and angrier.

Sara,
Tales of Yankee Power,
Idiot Wind

What kind of list is this???

[Blaupanzer]

It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
I Shall Be Released
All Along the Watchtower
Desolation Row
The Times, They Are A-Changing
Post Cards of the Hanging
Tom Thumb's Blues
Tangled up in Blue
Masters of War
Just a good start on the best of the best. I was aware from the beginning of his career, when he was trying to be the next Woodie Guthrie. Some great stuff, even if he never could sing a lick.
