Blood On the Tracks. Only a truly destroyed heart can produce art of this purity and transcendence.

Blood on the Tracks for me. I was in a really bad place when I first heard it, feeling really alone and empty. Hearing it was like I had encountered a warm fire. or had a good talk with a loved one. I felt the warmness of humanity once again. Music can be so wonderful.

The Dylan album that really grabbed me is not necessarily an album. It is the Vol. 1 of the Bootleg Series. I listened to that stoned for the first time and suddenly became aware of how powerful Bob Dylan was. How in the world could somebody be that good.

Thanks for the reviews guys. You're feeding my obsession. Probably my favorite musical pastime other than enjoying the songs is discussing Bob Dylan albums. It's an endlessly entertaining pastime. 😎

highway 61 revisited is perfection. My favourite album

The additional songs on Times they are A-Changin are criminally underrated. North country blues, ballad of Hollis Brown, boots of Spanish leather are some of his earliest masterpieces.

I really enjoyed your conversation - great intelligent discussion. As a Dylan fan since the mid-sixties, this gives me a lot to think about. Thanks very much and keep up the good work!

John Wesley Harding by far the most underrated and most beautiful album of his discography. Planet Waves also great record

My favorite Dylan album is the one I am listening to at any given moment.

Really great and entertaining video, guys. Considering you just deep-dived into all his studio albums, you should definitely consider doing a video ranking of the bootleg series, which have arguably become as essential as the original releases.

Blood on the tracks broke my heart , and than it healed it. Good job.

I can't rank Dylan's entire catalog. But I love his work and I'd rank these ones as his best: 10) Oh Mercy! 9) Time Out of Mind 8) Nashville Skyline 7) Desire 6) The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan 5) John Wesley Harding 4) Bringing It All Back Home 3) Highway 61 Revisited 2) Blonde On Blonde 1) Blood On The Tracks

A true sign of admiration, dedication and education into great music is diving this deeply into Bob Dylan's discography and giving your well reasoned opinions to the world. Thanks for sharing your views. I haven't listened completely to as many albums as both of you have, but from what I have heard my top 10 are: 1. Highway 61 Revisited 2. Blonde on Blonde 3. Bringing It All Back Home 4. The Basement Tapes 5. Blood on the Tracks 6. John Wesley Harding 7. Freewheelin 8. Another Side of Bob Dylan 9. Oh Mercy 10. Desire I

Fourth time I watch this. Tremendous job. I thank you. It has made me check out some Dylan records I never paid too much attention to.

Phew what a task! Well Done. I will listen to a few of your recommendations that have evaded me, even though I am old enough to remember my older brother buying "Like a Rolling Stone/The Gates of Eden"!

Being divorce blood on tracks does it for me for real

This was a great watch, just subscribed. Highway 61 Revisited will always be number 1 for me, and nice to see Street Legal get some love. 👍

I would say Blood on the Tracks is his most perfect album. It flows so well.

Blood on the Tracks. Possibly my favourite album of all time

Great to see the listings again. Haven’t been able to get into his work because I can bear his voice in small doses, like you said.

i dont know how one could rank dylan albums. it would seem to me that you would have to rank albums within a particular genre. so i could see ranking the first 10-12 albums, when dylan was dylan. his six albums from freewheeling thru blonde on blonde is by far his most productive era. the era in which he will be remembered. or put another way, if he didnt have these 6 albums, he would not be the superstar that he is

Such a great video, I've just subbed. There were some choices there i wouldn't have expected but throughout you guys showed great knowledge and passion. It's pretty amazing to think how Dylan has been recording for 6 decades and a lot of us watching this video will feel something or have an opinion for every album he's put out (not even going into the Bootleg Series, which has been brilliant). I don't have a list but top ones would definitely be (in some order) Bringing it all Back Home, Highway 61, Blonde on Blonde. Great to see Street Legal, Oh Mercy and Time out of Mind getting some love, they are all classics too, and John Wesley Harding always holds a special place for me

Enjoyed your rundown and sure I could quibble over some picks but hey it’s all good. One factual issue, you might want to check when Dylan began recording in Nashville. Only other point I’d raise is for those of us who lived through Dylan’s entire career there’s a huge separation between the albums that defined a generation and those that turned personal. It’s tough rating them in the same list because they served such vastly different purposes and had vastly different impacts. Thanks for putting this together it’s a great overview and conjures all kinds of emotions and memories.

Great lists! I wish you included The Basement Tapes. Those recordings with The Band are my favorite Dylan incarnation. I really wished they went into the studio and recorded the 10 best arrangements.

Love Bob Dylan. My favourites in no particular order: Street Legal, Desire, Blood on the Tracks, Saved, Shot of Love, Blonde on Blonde, Infidels, Highway 61 Revisited, John Wesley Harding

Great reviews guys, it's fascinating to hear rankings of Dylan's albums and as you say there are so many nuggets and gems, even the weakest album of his has plenty to enjoy. The difficulty in generating a list like this is how to compare a consistently good album against a weaker album which has some great songs on. You have to follow your heart on a subjective mission like that. Your review has me itching to re-visit some of his albums which I haven't given much air time to. I've never enjoyed Oh Mercy! for example, having found the sound and production too glossy for Dylan. And despite being a massive fan I have never made it through all 30 of the songs on Triplicate, he was trying our patience and thank heavens he rewarded us with R&RW. As I watch more and more people on KZfaq reviewing Dylan I am comforted by the fact that many people are singing the praises of his 70s work, I'm not sure many people agree with me, but Street Legal is my all time favourite, a stellar opening track, wonderfully consistent throughout and a great closing song too. Having heard your comments there are a few albums I think, whoa, what am I missing? I never had much time for Nashville Skyline (maybe because I'm British and we're not really so much into country) and Infidels and Planet Waves (as you comment on the latter) both sound like Bob guesting on someone else's album and so don't rate highly for me. As for putting Down in the Groove last Jason, his version of Shenandoah gives me a lot of pleasure! Thanks for your efforts.

Nashville Skyline #3? Pretty minor Dylan, but a pleasant listen.

For me, 'The Freewheelin- Bob Dylan' is the best. It's the album that introduced him to the world. A stunning achievement of sheer brilliance.

Enjoyed that chaps ,nice list.....pleased to see 'Oh Mercy' getting some love ,underrated.....

SLOW TRAIN COMING, NO.1, I just keep goin back t that record,its fantastic

Guys, I loved this - I'm a Jason, too. I'm a hugggge Dylan so appreciated the work you've put in. I have some different opinions on some things, but that's what it's all about, right? I also agreed with you on a lot. I'm doing a Dylan series myself atm, where I go deep on each record. Not looking forward o trying to rank them at the end 😬😬😬

Highway 61 was released the same month as Help by the Beatles and released before Aftermath. It is LIGHTYEARS ahead of those other excellent albums. And it is still his objectively best writing and cocky performing. A tie with Blonde as number one for me

Bringing it all back home at #8 was rough but that's the thing with Dylan, there's so many favorites to choose from for everyone. Nashville skyline needs more love, gets so overshadowed in his catalog. Thanks for the list guys - cheers James from Canada

Tempest is a brilliant album. Paid In Blood is one of greatest songs he has written.

My late father and mother had great taste! My dad bought me the blood on the tracks when I was a kid for him & I to enjoy. My mother had 45 of lay lady lay. I discovered the whole lp to Nashville skyline in 2014 . Love the whole thing as I love the single. Great video guys!

Two kids ranking Dylan. I bet he would have loved it!

Very well done . I liked your thoughtful overviews of his albums . I have been listening to Dylan since my early teens in the 60s . He was always an interesting alternative to the music of the Beatles , Stones , Animals , Beach Boys , , and Dave Clark 5 that ruled the airwaves at that time . My top 10 list in descending order , starts with the best Dylan listening experience for me : Blood on the Tracks . It’s perfect . Highway 61 Revisited Desire ( the gem for me is Isis ) Oh , Mercy. ( and he left Dignity and Blind Willie McTell off of the album ! ) Blonde on Blonde Bringing It All Back Home Time Out of Mind Modern Times The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan The Times They Are a Changing Cheers !

Great job listing the fantastic Modern Times so highly. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who recognizes its brilliance.

great video! Mercy is so underrated. Daniel Landois production is amazing. Glad you had it so high!

Hey guys! Thanks a lot for the effort!! Had a great time listening to your choices. Though we all know its impossible to rank albums , what about ranking songs?? Its even more impossible hahah, but i feel that we can describe ourselves better by selecting songs rather than albums. Do we like better thunder in the mountain or spirit in the water? Do we prefer subterranean or she belongs to me? ive made up my mind or false prophet? I think we can say more about who we are by selecting tracks! It wouldnt be about whats better but what do we like more. Sorry for my english big hug from Madrid

Thank you for the insightful commentary!

Thanks for the positive review of Street Legal. It encouraged me to listen and I was also impressed with it, Senor, Is Your Love in Vain, New Pony- The dark side of the Byrd's Chestnut Mare, or, We Better Talk This Over which is an inspired Bluesy country song with fine guitar and piano Dylan's voice is strong and inspired bluesy and soulful and the backing singers embellish the songs with a touch of gospel. I had avoided listening to it because it was given a fairly harsh review by others.

I only truly started getting into Dylan at the very start of 2022. He's practically all I've been listening to all year, and I've still only heard maybe half of his discography! Seeing him live in October and I'm beyond excited! Desire and Blood on the Tracks were the two albums that really hooked me, which has certainly coloured my top 10... 1. Blonde on Blonde 2. Blood on the Tracks 3. Desire 4. Highway 61 Revisited 5. The Times They Are A-Changing 6. John Wesley Harding 7. Oh Mercy 8. The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan 9. Time Out of Mind 10. Planet Waves

Great video guys love you’re in depth opinion. For me being 42 Time out of Mind is up in my top three.

Great work guys. I think overall I was probably more on Jason's page though I thought you both made some good points. A lot of my favourite Dylan records are the slightly overlooked ones and I'm not a big fan of his latter-day albums. Just for the record, Greil Marcus DID write a book just on Like A Rolling Stone. Cheers, James

Blonde on blonde in the best album of all time in my opinion

Another excellent effort, guys! Of the studio material, I'd have to go with these as my top five: 1) Blood on the Tracks 2) Blonde on Blonde 3) Highway 61 Revisited 4) Bringing it All Back Home 5) Freewheelin' For some reason, I always found 'John Wesley Harding' and 'Nashville Skyline' a little weird...it's not that they are bad albums per se, they were just a little jarring vs what I was expecting... Of the later material, my favorites are: 'Desire,' 'Oh Mercy,' and 'Love and Theft.'

Ah Man, Bob's Christmas album was for charity! It's actually pretty good. I listen to it at least once a year.

Blonde on Blonde was the bomb. Fantastic and desperate poetry. "Inside the heat pipes just cough. The country music station plays soft, but there's nothing really nothing to turn off. (note the blurring and indefinite meaning) Just Louise and her lover so intwinned. And these Visions of Johanna that conquer my mind." Interesting to hear the alternate take on this too. Freewheelin' Bob Dylan must be mentioned. Especially when you listen to all the recorded tracks not used on the album for one reason or another.

Please do one of these on the Tragically Hip. Gordo is gone, but they will always be one of my all time favorite bands.I will never forget the first time I heard them on the radio when I was living in Virginia. They played Blow at high dough. I was hooked. I bought the album "up to here" that night and have been a fan ever since.

Glad to see Street Legal getting good reviews. I have Always loved it but normally not well reviewed

Really enjoyed this. I've seen Dylan 175+ times. First time at the Last Waltz plus all of the Warfield Jesus shows in 1979. I'm always blown away when younger people can get into post-2000 Dylan. One note, the writing on Desire sounds a little different because (except for Sara) the songs are co-written with Jaques Levy the playwright (Oh Calcutta). This was a fun watch. Thanks!

Well done to you both. Dylan, the Shakespeare of our time.

Very surprised how the younger folk regard "Nashville Skyline." Both put it in the top 5... I'll have to listen to it with fresh ears. probably because it sounded so 'western' to me, so country, that it didn't hit me forcefully at the time. Of course, that album, along with the preceding one "John Wesley Harding" (which was recorded bare bones without overdubs at the height of Psychedelia & quite an ear-opening experience - - even Hendrix thought so, going on to covering one of the songs "Watchtower" - - also, please re-listen to "Frankie Lee & Judas Priest" - - that has always been the standout track for me on that album) was pointing the way forward & gave the industry an entire slew of solo singer/songwriter albums with that country-rock blend & bands like America & the Eagles, etc. etc... Dylan has always been prescient it seems, getting there before anyone else. You may not know this, because both of you state you like the album for its Nashville musicians playing on it - - Dylan's first recording with Nashville musicians was on "Blonde On Blonde" (with Robbie Robertson from The Band as the go-between). The musicians working in the studio didn't know Dylan from Adam & the first thing he had them do was wait until after midnight while he finished writing a song, "Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands" & then this was the first song they recorded, they thought he was bonkers because the song just goes on & on when they thought it would end after 4 minutes, then 6 minutes, then 8 minutes, that's why they seem to crescendo more & more on the chorus as time goes on, they kept thinking, okay, here's the big finish... but it wasn't. He still had more verses to sing.

Good list, good analysis and good discussion. Blood on Tracks for me. It towers for me, but 2-7 are an ongoing argument with myself. Great job!

I naturally started mostly grouping favourites into eras. Also for me, Dylan is all about the songwriting, so it only made sense that the covers albums would make their way to the bottom of the list, regardless of how much I might enjoy them. 1. Highway 61 Revisited 2. Blood on the Tracks 3. Blonde on Blonde 4. Bringing It All Back Home 5. The Freewheeling' Bob Dylan 6. The Times They Are A-Changin' 7. Another Side of Bob Dylan 8. Time Out of Mind 9. Modern Times 10. Oh Mercy 11. "Love and Theft" 12. Desire 13. John Wesley Harding 14. Nashville Skyline 15. Tempest 16. Rough and Rowdy Ways 17. New Morning 18. Planet Waves 19. Street Legal 20. Bob Dylan 21. Together Through Life 22. Infidels 23. Slow Train Coming 24. Shot of Love 25. Saved 26. Self Portrait 27. Empire Burlesque 28. Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid 29. Under the Red Sky 30. Knocked Out Loaded 31. Down in the Groove 32. World Gone Wrong 33. Good As I Been to You 34. Shadows in the Night 35. Fallen Angels 36. Triplicate 37. Christmas in the Heart

Blonde On Blonde, Basement Tapes and John Wesley Harding are my favourites, great video!

As much as I love Bob Dylan, I've tended to stick to the "cream of the crop", for the most part, in his staggering discography over the years, and so have overlooked some of his less celebrated albums, especially the covers records. I probably should finally get around to those neglected works (New Morning and Planet Waves, for instance). For now, however, here's my Top 10 favorite Dylan albums: 1. Highway 61 Revisited 2. Blonde on Blonde 3. Blood on the Tracks 4. Bringing it all Back Home 5. John Wesley Harding (shocked to see this classic so low on Jason's list) 6. Love & Theft 7. The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan 8. Oh Mercy 9. Time Out of MInd 10. Desire Other solid Dylan albums that I'm relatively familiar with, which is to say, I haven't played to death, for better or worse: The Times They are A-Changin', Nashville Skyline, Slow Train Coming, Infidels, Modern Times, Rough and Rowdy Ways (I agree with you both, this one may climb into my Top 10 down the road as I get to know it better).

Sitting down to watch this, wrote out the list of all Dylan's albums, got a column with Jason on it and a column with Kramzer, ready to go!

Glad to hear i’m not the only one in love with Nashville Skyline! As someone who isn’t a huge fan of pure country music, it is a perfect album that I wish was 3x as long. My favorite Dylan album, with Highway 61 close behind.

I love that yall both had Nashville Skyline in the top 5. My personal favorite.

39 albums is truly a lot... and then all these outtakes on various compilations and the bootleg series... Some stuff on there outshines most of his official albums... He's truly one of a kind!

You two guys are really good. This is the first clip I've watched by you guys. Very well thought out reviews, no meandering thoughts or rambling. Short, clear essays on each album - that is not easy to do. Bouncing off each other. But I think you missed a few albums; granted some of the worst like "Dylan", "Hard Rain", "Dylan & Dead" .

Went back and checked out this video for fun. The album descriptions are so brief! I guess they had to be. And Jason's voice sounds so nasally. I guess he got a new microphone later which was a big improvement. Anyway, good video.

Hi Guys, I was just wondering if you've done van morrison albums yet? I'm a great fan of your videos

i loved that. thanks..... saw bob 1984 in munich... that was amazing !!

Damn, I really love "good as I ve been", "shot of love" , "world gone wrong" and especially "planet waves".

Here’s ten of my favorite Dylan records 1) Together Through Life 2) Modern Times 3) Oh Mercy 4) Desire 5) Infidels 6) Blood On The Tracks 7) Slow Train Coming 8) Love And Theft 9) Bringing It All Back Home 10) New Morning

Hi, I'm back to watch your videos to update my top 10 Bob Dylan and Neil Young, as far as Bob is concerned the top 10 is as follow.... 1) Highway 61 revisited 2) Blood on the tracks 3) Blonde on Blonde 4) Bringing it all back home 5) Nashville skyline 6) Desire 7) The freewheelin 8) The times they are a changing 9) John wesley harding 10) Oh Mercy Have a nice 2022, hopefully better than the 2021! I hope to see Frank Zappa and Van Morrison next year!

I’ll take time to listen this Excuse me! It’s great to have made this listing Thanks👏👏💥👌❣️

You mentioned an album in early seventies basically by the music company. Was that a “bootleg” album? I have an album from that time -double album, no label, no song list, completely blank. One song with Johnny Cash, Quinn the Eskimo (sp). Ever heard of it? Unsure of any other tracks only played it once. Thanks kirk

I didn't see The Basement Tapes listed here. I know he recorded this with The Band, but I thought it was part of his discography?

This was a great way to spend 45 minutes. You lot get me thinking and the biggest take from this is to give Nashville Skyline a closer listen. It's always seemed peripheral to me but when I hear how much it appeals to you both, I know it's time for me to re-evaluate.

I saw a blurb the other day (March 1, 2021) where Dylan said that "Shot of Love" is his least appreciated album.

Been a huge Dylan fan practically all my life. When I was 18 I treated my parents, brother and sisters to a Dylan concert in Philadelphia as a Christmas present. That was when he went on tour a year or so after Bangladesh in the mid-70's. I've seen him a few more time since, too. I agree with most of what these cool guys have said, including Nashville Skyline being the best country album of all time. My favorite? Hard to pin down, but Blood on the Tracks is in the top 3.

My first ever album was Another Side, with a couple of Byrds covers, so his voice was a bit of a shock, but nearly 60 years on, I still love the songs. BOB, Desire and Blood do it for me.

Count me as part of those who consider "Bringing it all Back Home" Dylan's #1 album - an uninterrupted stream of brillant, moving, groundbreaking songs, equal parts folk and rock 'n roll, marvelously sung, played and recorded - in a single day.

You kids have great ears! Bravo!

So much of Dylan's sound comes from the side players and bands he used. They pretty much created the Dylan sound together. For instance Sly and Robbie are all over Infidels along with Knopfler and Mick Taylor and give that record its sound. This may sound weird but I've always been more interested in the people who play around him and how they fleshed the songs out than Dylan alone. Much of the genius in the Dylan records I most enjoy is in his choice of the players for the material. Good point about Springsteen Street Legal connection, also with Shot of Love, Chuck Plotkin produced, and Desire to lesser degree. I think that may be why he has stuck with his band now for so long. He finally found the groove he was looking for whereas before there was always a lot of going for a new sound on each album which was kind of cool also.

Your channel is bringing old music to my taste. I mostly have Radiohead and tool on repeat 🤓

“Time Out of Mind” is in my top 5 for Dylan. It may be the best album for old guys ever made! 👴🏻 🤘🏻

20. New Morning 19. "Love and Theft" 18. Oh Mercy 17. Planet Waves 16. Nashville Skyline 15. Saved 14. Rough and Rowdy Ways 13. Freewheelin' 12. Another Side of Bob Dylan 11. Desire 10. Modern Times 9. John Wesley Harding 8. Times They are a-Changin' 7. Steet Legal 6. Infidels 5. Highway 61 4. Blood on the Tracks 3. Time out of Mind 2. Bringing it all Back Home 1. Blonde on Blonde

What a amazing world we live in...at the moment, thí month i'm listening to Antonio Vivaldi s arias and doing a Bob Dylan thingy and listening to 2 books online, so much...but i remember when we had less a lot less and that was good also...how ever for me a freewheeling for the songs but mostly as a 14yr old it was the cover...made me relize the endless possibilities of life...also another side...well it was so amphetamine...and chimes of freedom has a magical thing to it that i still love today....greetings from Vietnam

Good to see high ratings for Planet Waves and Modern Times. Interesting to see Jason putting Street Legal so high -- this album was widely overlooked for a long time. The most interesting thing is how much you both like Nashville Skyline, which was considered a massive disappointment by most fans on release in 1969. An example of an album becoming more appreciated outside the context of its time. Hard to disagree that Rainy Day Women is arguably the flaw in Blonde On Blonde. Ironically, it was the final song recorded at the sessions. My question: if you were going to resequenced Blonde On Blonde, what should the opener be?

Kramzer I have no issue with you putting Oh Mercy that high, it’s one of my favorites of his. I would place it top 10 for sure

1-blonde on blonde 2-desire 3 -blood on the tracks 4-bringing it all back home 5-highway 61 honorable mention for planet waves, surely not Dyaln at his best but it holds a special place in my heart. also, funny how self portrait isn't at the bottom of your list, being a record made as bad as possible quoting Dylan himself, he said he wanted to give his audience the worst possible experience while listening to music.

#3 "Blonde On Blonde" #2 "Highway 51 Revisited" #1 "Blood On The Tracks" And my #1 Dylan album is my #3 overall favorite album, maybe because I lived through a lot of it, especially "If You See Her, Say Hello".

I've still got 13 of these albums left to hear (the 1983-93 albums, Christmas In The Heart and the 2015-20 albums), but right now my top 10 would be: 1. Blood On The Tracks 2. Highway 61 Revisited 3. Blonde On Blonde 4. The Freewheelin' 5. Bringing It All Back Home 6. Desire 7. John Wesley Harding 8. Time Out Of Mind 9. Another Side 10. Nashville Skyline (or maybe Love & Theft, not totally positive)

Born mid 70s, and for some reason - my Dad had the Albums - I managed to listen to them in chronological order up to Desire and Blood on the Tracks. That's some body of work. Came free to me. But I've bought since. That's how stuff works sometimes, I guess.

Bob IS one of my all time favorites. He has gone through so many style changes through the decades. I got in to Bob late in the game. I am not loyal to one decade or style from him. But I think you will find his 60s output rates pretty darn high on my list! I like his "finger pointing" style. I do like some of his 80s "high gloss" output. No problem with the "Christian" Dylan period. Not crazy about his output over the last decade or so. But anyways, let the games begin!!.. 01. "Blonde On Blonde" (1966) 02. "Bringing It All Back Home" (1965) 03. "Highway 61 Revisited" (1965) 04. "Nashville Skyline" (1969) 05. "Blood On The Tracks" (1975) 06. "Planet Waves" (1974) 07. "Infidels" (1983) 08.

Blood on the Tracks is also my favourite album of all time, no question.

Have to do this ranking too. It`s going to be hard.

Dylan's piano playing on New Morning is a revelation.

Highway 61 Revisited for me. And there IS a book on Like a Rolling Stone--a good read.

Should of had basement tapes if going to have Xmas and cover albums and some of your list shocked me? I never thought anyone would of had Nashville Skyline so high and above Freewheeling that has some of the greatest songs ever made. But cool analysis and really know your stuff and cool people my age actually like and know about Dylan properly! With me my list changes all the time and sometimes I go ages without listening to him at all but then become obsessed again. If I had to choose the best songwriter of the 20th 21st century it would have to be Dylan even though he hasn’t always performed them or produced them the best at times ,he still has the greatest catalogue of songs and if he had the looks and voice of Elvis and kept his attitude innovation rebellion and songwriting he would be almost to good for this world and been number one non stop!

If you enjoy the 3 religious albums you must listen to the Bootleg Series Trouble No More. Live versions of these songs and others. His singing in that period may be the best of his career. His back up bands were excellent. The 81 tour with Al Kooper was top notch. High energy versions of Shot of Love Songs. The band he had around the period of Saved kicks ass. Jim Keltner on drums and Tim Drummond on bass put out an incredible groove and Bob's vocals are powerful. I found the performance on Saved flat but these songs live rock.

I really enjoy Kramzer's vibe, even though I think I agree with his taste the least often! Been cruising through y'alls rad content starting with the Beach Boys stuff!
