Nashville skyline is one of my favorites easily the one I pick the most to play.

Only Dylan can make "Santa Clause is Coming to Town" sound like a threat.

Great and wonderful to hear you guys talking about these classic albums! Thank you both!

thanks gentlemen, got on this channel by chance. A nice trip through Bob's disco. greetings from the netherlands

Thank you N.Maslov and David for this excellent overview of Bob Dylans studio albums. I came late to this KZfaq video. Thank you.

I absolutely loved this convo guys and share a lot of your views. I'm in the middle of deep dive into Dylan's arc - absolutely love it. Great job. Subbed

I have an original Australian pressing of BoB (Blonde on Blonde) with the later withdrawn photo of Claudia Cardinale on the inside cover...also have original U.K. "BoB" with C.C photo. Love your channel,best wishes from Down Under!

A fantastic conversation for sure! A lot I didn't know about Dylan and now I should start checking out some of these albums that I kinda brushed under the rug! I have a new appreciation for them now! All the best guys!

Bringing It All Back Home deserved some discussion guys!

That was a fun watch. My personal favorite is Blood on the Tracks. There is a lot I have to get still, but so far, I like everything I have of his.

Really enjoyable conversation - thanks both

Great video. I totally enjoyed it. I purchased the red box set this week and look forward to jumping in. Thanks guys! 👍

Guys so damn good I learned a lot. My discovery of Dylan I credit to my boss Sue at Borders in 97 she played Blonde on Blonde and Desire man I was hooked ever since and Time out of Mind just came out I had to get it cd and vinyl Dylan is a treasure awesome video guys. Lovellandrew

I have been excitedly waiting for this video...My intro was Like A Rolling Stone as well. Then bought the Highway 61 album.The B side was Gates Of Eden which led me to buy Bringing It All Back Home next..then Freewheelin and then Blonde On Blonde the following year..Which is my fav Dylan album. My top ten..Blonde On Blonde,Blood On The Tracks, John Wesley Harding, Highway 61, Freewheelin, Bringing It All Back Home, Infidels, Love and Theft, Another Side Of.. and Times They Are A Changin’..great, great, video...glen kellaway

I love the bass playing on John Wesley Harding.

I would love to have been in that conversation with you both...talking Dylan is my favorite pastime...besides vinyls, books, DVDs, concerts...i want it all. Blonde on Blonde is my forever favorite (I do give love to Planet Waves ♡) Thanks

Best '80s record was 'Oh Mercy'

I'm really enjoying the Dylan conversations that seem to be going around...I'm about to go down one of my periodic Dylan rabbit holes, as happens once a year or so, every time a new box set arrives...I actually skipped the last bootleg box but just ordered the mono LP box after seeing Steve Carlson showing it (I spent my stimulus check on a new synthesizer and had a couple hundred left over so what the heck). Thanks for the stroll through Zimmy land.

Blood On The Tracks is my favorite Dylan album but my introduction was his first greatest hits album. I really enjoyed your album discussions. I have every Dylan album except his last Columbia release and New Morning. It sounds like I really need to get New Morning soon. Great job guys.

Nice overview of Dylan’s studio albums. I sort of stopped listening after “Infidels”. I grew up with his stuff from the first album on. I have Together Through Life, Modern Times & Tempest on CD but they never really inspired me to get any of them on vinyl. Blonde on Blonde my all time fav, though his entire catalog through Blood On The Tracks may be the best series of albums ever recorded by a single artist. Thanks for taking me back down that road.

I'm doing a Dylan deep dive, and so finding this discussion was really timely. During my dive, I have identified three Dylan voices - the original, the one that emerged during 'Nashville Skyline,' and the gruff, growly voice that emerged during 'Time Out of Mind.' Which only goes to show how distracted I have been because the guy who does the Classic Album Review on KZfaq has identified eight, including quoting someone describing his latter day voice as a cross between Tom Waits and the Cookie Monster. What I don't understand is that everybody said that his voice changed after his bike accident, but his bike accident was before 'John Wesley Harding,' where it hadn't changed. Actually, with 'Shadow Kingdom' (after this show went out), Dylan has ramped up his 3rd/8th voice and made it really expressive and colored. I like natural voices, and I like Bob's voice(s). What I have noticed about critics of his voice and Neil Young's voice, is that people are selective. They love 'Knocking on Heaven's Door' and 'Southern Man' and totally forget that they cannot stand their voices. I think the voice thing is just a go-to. The thing I have noticed about Dylan is that almost every song is voice-chorus, voice-chorus, until the words run out, except on 'Blonde on Blonde,' where he branches out a bit. Perhaps they just don't like his songs. One quibble: you like 'Street Legal,' but you don't mention 'Senor'? Sorry, you drop a point there, down to 99%. I can't believe you dropped that ball.

Some years ago I heard a guy on BBCR4 talk about song writers and about 15 minutes before the end he was asked about Dylan and he sounded shocked to be interrupted being questioned about someone he said was a fake, that he never listened to Bob, the interviewer spent 11 minutes giving this guy a concise breakdown of why Dylan matters and it really shut the fucker up, I understand that people don't like Dylan, I get it, but if I talk about his lyrics to none believers they get it, I grew up in a house which played Dylan, difficult to pick one all time fave, perhaps impossible, each of his albums live tru my life and I continue to tap into them when my life needs healing, when my head needs sorting out, recently the MBMT release was organism experience for me, I love the original album, so to have this was so fucken wow, also the Delux of the Cutting Edge, last year as we entered lockdown I experienced a massive wave of emotional despair mainly because my beloved Tower records was closed, but then RARW arrived and instantly the clouds parted, and my mood shot back up, I only had 3 albums in 2020 Dylan, hotspot and storm damage, thanks for this video, Dylan had the voice change following the bike accident,

This was a great Bob Dylan discussion. I love to learn about him. I wonder if I have any "Dinger Dinger" records in my collection? 🤗

In 1975 I bought my first Dylan album. Actually, I bought most of his available catalog , at the time, but the one album that I remember most from that is Blonde on Blonde. My Dylan recordings currently stop at Time Out Of Mind. Thanks, Chris

Dylan is to John Lennon - as Mozart is to Salieri makes the better movie. Phil Oaks never felt like he was in competition with Dylan. Lennon was on top of the world; as a Rock Star and "voice of his generation" when he first heard Dylan and it exploded his world. He realized had to go back to the drawing board and that even with all his fame and money he would never be Dylan. I don't think he ever got over that.

Ding, ding, ding, from me for “World Gone Wrong”.

Singular he is the greatest talent in musical history. I don’t have all his albums but I’m getting there

Gonna watch this tonight. You and I should do Springsteen's catalog.

Best hearing Like a Rolling Stone on the radio 55 years ago. And most bands would be lucky to have one classic record, or two, or three.....

Gents, sadly skipped over Oh Mercy; shame. For me its a Top 5, superb Lanois production, great songs ; rewind and do it again !!

The quote of the video, “You gotta put this with the Shaggs.”

Nice job guys....no way anyone is ever is going to agree on the Top 10....but your choices are valid!

Favorite song: The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carrol Favorite studio album: Blood on the Tracks An album I like more than most people seem to do: * I put John Wesley Harding in my top 3 * I have a very very sweet spot for Desire (probably completing my top 3) * Also, I like Saved much more than Slow Train Coming An album I like less than most people seem to do: * I put Highway 61 revisited outside my top 5 * I dislike Love & Theft for a similar reason. 12 bar blues bore me out very quickly * I find the songs by The Band on the Basement Tapes out of place The best Dylan for me is the Rolling Thunder tour's first leg, released as the Bootleg Series 5. That's the record I listen to time and time again.

We all talking about this says it all. Genius.

Many, many time you can find a live recording that is much better than the released version. A couple of examples: "Under the Red Sky : Bob Dylan 1994 - Under the Red Sky" ,"Grateful Dead 7 4 87 (Set 2) W/ Bob Dylan - [4k Dgital Remaster] [Healy/Pearson Ultramatrix]" and "Possibly The Best Version ! I`ll Remember You, Bob Dylan, Rochester ,NY 22.10.1994" At the age of 13 and now I continue to say, where do these words come from? Bob saw the Red Skies created by the smelting. He then gifted us with a wonderful fairytale.

The woman pictured on the back of New Morning is the classic blues singer Victoria Spivey.

Big fan of Dylan! I have Blond on Blond with the rare female pictured. My favorite album!

Really enjoyed the banter and the light hearted approach to Dylan. I'm still catching up and about 24 albums in. I agreed largely with your best album choices and comments in general I just bought Shot of Love and yes it is v weak. I think Saved is ok and yes Slow Train Coming is excellent. I'm not religious but for some reason I like to hear good devotional albums with a sensitive touch, even when they get a tiny bit preachy. Love the George Harrison Krishna thing and Cat Stephens/Yusuf. I think Under a red sky is okay. Maybe i just bought it at the right moment. I also love JWH and Street Legal. Some critics are very sniffy about Street Legal but I just don't understand why... I also love Frank Sinatra and the old standards so it is intriguing to listen to Bob doing them. A bit hit and miss but I agree it seems natural and why shouldn't one of the best song writers of all time pay tribute the past masters of the song writing craft? Cheers

"The form of Shakespearean sonnets Shakespeare's sonnets are composed of 14 lines, and most are divided into three quatrains and a final, concluding couplet, rhyming abab cdcd efef gg. This sonnet form and rhyme scheme is known as the 'English' sonnet." Bob 'contains multitudes' . He has a song by that name in RRW album 2020. It is found in a poem by Henry David Thoreau. View the lyrics for Tangled Up in Blue. Bob is the One,

great review guys ,, i was just a lad when i was converted into a dylan nut in the mid seventies by desire , then blood on the tracks , awesome records ,, apart from a few bad misfires in the mid eighties ,, he really has released some brillant records ,, the big 8 0 next month 4 bob ,,,

Really enjoyed this thanks both, even though you didn't ding-ding Oh Mercy - a travesty! Take care Dale

times they are a changeing is a national treasure the title song alone is is a song with as much power today as it was when it came out .Dylan is an artist that when when you have any serious discussion ,his music has to be appreciated in the context of the times they were released, dylan s music shaped the times ,john wesley harding is a perfect example, the wild hair crazy clothes era was ending and dylan with his new look ,new voice brought in the new era rootsy, country, laid back dylan,ushering in the band,the country dead, country byrds, gosdin bros ect. my point to talk and understand how ptofound his music changed the industry you have to understand what was going in the country at the time. folk, protest, rock , psych, country, christian [ born again movement] ect dylan led the charge and when music became dull dylans music reflected this because his music became stale, then came,Time out of mind and again hes great and a new generation, my sons discovers him..I could go on and on but ill spare you my dylan rant. one thing ill say is phil ochs was great wounderful but not a dylan , where bob could pick up a scene he would leave it when it got old . Phil ochs was one dimensional and was not abel to change when the protest years were over. Bob changed every other year. One thing phil did have was an angelic voice, something dylan has never had,

Great video! :) BUT you should have talked more about "Oh Mercy" - an amazing album, and his best album in the 80s I think.

Sally Grossman is the woman pictured on Bringing it all Back Home.

The leopard skin pillbox hat theme re- emerged in 1997 when this dude in a leopard skin pillbox hat steps off a train and everyone's staring at him. I love Blonde On Blonde.

My personal favs: 1 - L&T 2 - Hard Rain 3 - TOOM 4 - TBS vol 8 - TTS 5 - TBS vol 13 - ASP

Movie where things have changed appears is called Wonder boys

I got into Dylan in 1993, here's my 10: Another Side Of Bob Dylan Bringing It All Back Home Highway 61 Revisited Blonde On Blonde Blood On The Tracks Street Legal Shot Of Love Empire Burlesqe Under The Red Sky Modern Times

Well that didn't take long. As I'm watching this (I know it's a year old but I'm a recent subscriber. Subscribed for your jazz videos and then was delighted to discover you're a Dylan fan too) the tv is on in the background. Just months after the news that Dylan sold the rights to hos catalogue, there's an ad for Budweiser using Blowin' In The Wind. No relevance to anything in the ad.

I think the second Wilburys album is a de facto Dylan album, or at least Dylan EP. Seems like he instigated a majority of those songs on Vol 3 for the Wilburys. I'd love you guys to do a deep dive on the two Wilburys albums and the other songs some of those guys collaborated on in the late 80s and early 90s.

Oh Mercy...u guy!

“Shot of Love” is a great album, one of my favorite Dylan albums. You definitely skipped “Oh Mercy”. That’s a great album.

Ian MacDonald wrote a stoopid thing about 'Things Have Changed.' Reading the lyrics he said it showed Dylan had got tired and cynical. But if it was written for Wonder Boys Dylan is writing from the pov of a jaded protagonist. That's a film overdue for a blu-ray transfer too.

So, what did you think of Rough and Rowdy Ways? It´s on my top 10.

I’m one that like this album .David.👉👍👈

i give you credit that you liked the 11/79 shows in california. it was brave of him to do those....shot of love and under the red sky are both better than self portrait however.

Highway 61 is one the best rock albums ever

The movie was Wonder Boys.

What Rolling Thunder show did you see Mazzy? It didn't come anywhere near San Francisco, or even California in either leg. East Coast, Canada in 75 then Florida and the south on the 76 leg.

I understand not saying much about Knocked Out Lady but I would have liked to hear you thoughts on Browsville Girl.

planet waves was rushed [4 or 5 days] and had no real producer. robbie said bob would not take suggestions from robbie.

a real discussion of dylans music should be with a group setting 4 to 6 people where there ages are little spred out for diff takes on dyians music.

DYLAN isnt all covers. sara jane is on it, yes?

Where did you see Rolling Thunder in 1976? They didn’t play anywhere near California on that tour.

How could both of you skip over "Oh Mercy" ???? Well it's of my faves.

Is it true that Dylan stopped smoking before Nashville Skyline, which may explain his "different voice"?

Can’t believe you breezes over Oh Mercy. 😞 About people complaining about Dylan... I hate when people demand anything of a musical artist. I love when an artist does whatever the f- they want, i.e. Sturgill Simpson.

dylan with a side of bacon....very tasty.....

How dare you compare Phil Ochs to Antonio Salieri! I keep Rehearsals for Retirement, live at Carnegie Hall, and Tape from California right alongside my favorite Dylan albums! They're lush, beautifully ironic albums with killer lyrics and, oh yeah, he could sing way better than Bobby ever could. Mazzy! Don't bring this guy back, because I don't want to have to boycott you!....number 1 Ochs fan

You guys only even mentioned Highway 61 Revisited in passing. Are you serious? WTF?

bob had blood spend up because he said it was too slow.

U R WRONG ON BLOOD. THE HAMMIL COVER IS THE LATTER ONE.

Freewheeling and Another Side Of Bob Dylan are my favorites of the first four. Self Portrait was one of my first Dylan records. I agree, what is this shit.

Agree with John Wesley Harding

I just can’t listen to the later albums with the shot voice.

Hey love Dylan love mazzy ! Self portrait is awful though Sorry 🙏🙏

Great job! Can you check out my Dylan covers and leave me your reviews! Thanks!💜😁👍

Dylans Great Richard Thomspon is Greater Any one Agree ?

You lost me at Self Portrait. Goodbye.

He doesn’t play guitar much anymore because he has arthritis in his hands.

Self Portrait was only good for laughs. Anyone who prefers that album to The Basement Tapes has very poor taste.

These two characters don’t have the intellect or musical taste to discuss Dylan.
