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.

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

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....

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?

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)

Subteranian is a good snap shot for what he was and was good for at that time.

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.

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 :)

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

...shouldn't "pritt-stick" be replaced with something generic like "glue-stick"?
I had to go look up "pritt-stick" for de-rising purposes.
