Bob Dylan is cool. He writes some awesome lyrics. "Shelter From The Storm" is one of my favorites.

 

[Dylan_Chica]

yes "shelter from the storm" is great, as are all his other songs, though i like the version used on the "best of" cd better than the album version, the mixing is much better and the acoustic guitar work is awesome

 

[meebs]

Yeah he is pretty cool.

I listen to him passively cos my Dad is a fan, and into him a little bit. So is my sister.

I have been a Bob Dylan fan since the 60's...even went to the first woodstock!!! and hung out at Filmore East in NYC...where they all played at...

I can't think of the name of the song but I think it's the only Dylan song in the movie "Dazed and Confused". HELP???!!!

the song's name is "hurricane", it's one of the most amazing songs i've ever heard. it's about the black boxer ruben carter who was falsely accused and framed for a triple murder by white racist cops, it's a true story and the case even got a second trial because of the song, but unfortunately carter lost to the racist pigs again. the song greatly displays both dylan's amazing lyrics and songwriting talent as well as his social conscience, and if any of you haven't heard it yet you should.

Thanks!! I can't ever remember the name of it but it's my favorite by far.

I think Masters of War is a brilliant song. I love the lyrics

I also like Blowin in the Wind, A Hard Rain's a Gonna Fall, and Like a Rolling Stone.
(and Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 is hilarious )

good choices
masters of war is a very strong track, brilliant lyrics which are very gripping and i can only imagine the impact this song must have had on people in the early sixties.
blowin' in the wind is incredible, a classic in it's own right with a good melody, great lyrics and even better message. eternal song.
a hard rain's a-gonna fall, interesting pick! one of my favourites actually, i love the lyrics of this song, very metaphorical and good.
like a rolling stone, another classic with brilliant lyrics and the whole feel of the song just makes me smile.
rainy day women #12 & 35 is hilarious yes, i think it's a really funny and good song as most of the highway 61/blonde on blonde era songs are, i could listen to these two cd's till my ears break, i know every crazy lyric by heart, lol. good list!

I love Dylan. Have a ridiculous Dylan collection. My favorite tunes of his include "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright," "Tangled Up in Blue," "Isis," "Maggie's Farm," and many many more.

 

[GodscousinTed]

I'm quite the Dylan fan myself, my favourite songs would have to be:
-"Tangled up in Blue"
-"Desolation Row"
-"Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)"
-"With God on our Side"
-"Idiot Wind"

 

[Tigress_86]

Do you mean "Nashville Skyline"? I think that is the one with Johnny Cash...or it may be "New Morning" One of them has Bob singing in a "normal" voice, which is rather amusing.

 

[intricatic]

Bob Dylan just rocks my socks.

Mozambique is awesome, Hurricane, Motorpsycho Nightmare, Slow Train [the entire album, not just that one song ].....

 

[Sign Of The Fish Burger]

Dylan was the first person I ever saw in concert. My parents took me when I was 11

no it was recorded about the same time as nashville skyline i think, but this one is like a studio session with bob and johnny cash and also carl perkins. anyway it is a lot of fun.
