# Best song Dylan ever did.
And best video ever.

Woo!

# No and no, but they're both up there
don't actually know his best song, but I can think of a few better, but the best video ever is obviously Jocko Homo by Devo.

# I meant best Dylan video.
I really cant think of a better song by Dylan. Well, not one that he's done the best verion of.

# Like Leonard Cohen
Dylan's songs are great, but done far better by other people (generally musicians).

# Yeah I suppose.
Although there are some brilliant Cohen songs that I can only imagine him singing well. Like Sisters of Mercy and Suzanne. Oh and So Long Marianne.

But your point is valid if only for Hallelujah....

# Tom Waites and Suzanne Vega do an excellent version of that on a CD called Bleeker Street.
(, Thu 21 Feb 2008, 13:39, archived)
# Which one?
Edit: I just checke it out, it was John Cale and Suzanne Vega, but it is ace! I think I'll need to get myself that album!

# Soz - "Hold On, Marianne"
Far superior to the James cover.

Mind - so is mine, and I have all the musical ability of The Bible.

# Right.
I'm glad that we've finally got 'round to the subject of covers.

I am, right now, completely pissed off by that fucking Kate Rusby singing Village Green Preservation Society.

I don't want to sound like an old duffer but I haven't heard a SINGLE reference to The Kinks.

Why is this?

# I have to disagree
It's true, a lot of his famous songs have been done differently, and in some cases better, but there's a lot more to him than Tambourine Man and All Along the Watchtower.

I have 4GB of Dylan songs on my computer, with a lot of excellent songs I'd never heard before and some utter shite from the 80s (License to Kill, ugh)
(, Thu 21 Feb 2008, 13:56, archived)
# I Just Want To Be Friends With You, Knocking On Heavens Door, Highway 61, Stuck Inside a Mobile
all rank higher with me.

Subteranian is a good snap shot for what he was and was good for at that time.
(, Thu 21 Feb 2008, 13:38, archived)
# there are a lot of better dylan songs in my opinion
The Hurricane, Ballad of a thin man, Bob Dylan's dream, Tombstone Blues, Stuck inside of Mobile, Highway 61, Motorpsycho Nightmare...

Subterranean Homesick Blues is fucking ace though.

# To you and Hanke,
You both may be right. I have a real bee in my bonnet about Dylan since I saw him live. He was utter shite and I was never really his biggest fan before that anyway. Much prefer Neil Young :)
(, Thu 21 Feb 2008, 13:39, archived)
# bah, neil young went shite in the 80s, I much prefer his early stuff
Dylan is awful live these days, I got the dylan mtv unplugged dvd for xmas, and it was shit, properly shit.

However, I did also get the bob dylan at newport dvd which is really quite awesome.

# Youre not far off there.
But I am liking some of the stuff hes producing now though, not all of it, but some. Dylan was the biggest pile of shit Ive ever seen! He only played 3 of his famous songs and they were for the encore. Now dont get me wrong, I am not one of these dicks who goes to see people hoping for a greatest hits, but the fact is he was playing a lot of his really bad stuff that no-one knows.
(, Thu 21 Feb 2008, 13:47, archived)
# I'm not a great fan of his latest two albums
but some of his newer stuff is quite good, like Love and Theft, since he went back to bluesy stuff.
Meh, nothing's as good as it once was.

# best dylan song is It ain't me babe
best video ever is Soulja Boi.... no wait... no its not... best video ever is the entirity of Daft Punk - Interstella 5555

# As said before,
I meant best Dylan video ever, but I think youll find that the best actual video of all time is actually INtergalactic by The Beastie Boys ;)

Or it only takes a minute girl by Take That!

Don't Think Twice, it's Alright as my personal favourite
Hurricane, Simple Twist of Fate and Like a Rolling Stone also rank highly in my books

If you don't mind me saying, you should put the 'Subterranean Prittstick Blues' on white out of black in the gif image so it works better when it inevitably goes viral.

# thanks a lot!
but I don't know what you mean by "white out of black" could you clarify please?

Oh, I just realised what you mean.

Edit: I think.

Edit2: Do you mean, like the album cover?

Edit: Like that, you mean?

...shouldn't "pritt-stick" be replaced with something generic like "glue-stick"?

I had to go look up "pritt-stick" for de-rising purposes.
