Bob Dylan is unique, a one off, irreplaceable, the likes of whom we will never see again. Those who are not "blessed" to "get him" I think misses out so much. No one comes close to his lyrics, delivery, story telling. His albums are for the "clarity of the lyrics" he comes to life on the live stage. Hope you finally "get him " ...

Bob Dylan in the 60’s was the coolest dude ever. He influenced so many people, wrote great songs, made three perfect albums in a row and looked cool doing it. Get with it Joe. Buy a mono copy of Blonde On Blonde and soak up over 70 minutes of perfection.

I never get tired of listening to Bob Dylan’s singing. While some other singers with “perfect voices” I can’t stand listening to them very long because they are empty of feeling or truth. Bob Dylan makes you feel his emotions and see colorful images.

He’s the greatest writer in the history of rock. It’s both about the lyrics AND the music, but also about phrasing. Wether you like his voice or not is a question of hearing HOW he sings. I love his voices. He has always sung different.

Some people say Bob doesn't have a good voice. Try to sing like him, you'll finding it more difficult than you think. I've never heard any vocalist change their vocals from song to song more than Bob. There's a lot to understand about Bob's vocals in relation to the lyrics. I love Bob Dylan and all of his band change ups, Bob is a great composer. Blood On The Tracks I love as much as Blonde on Blonde.

One thing that set Dylan apart from other folksingers is that he spent a few years singing rock & roll before discovering folk. Also, he later said he had a "violent, angry emotion" running through him at the time he recorded his debut.

One review once said ‘Dylan demonstrates the difference between a good voice and a good rock’n’roll voice’. Blonde on Blonde to me shows his vocal control, self confidence, rocknroll arrogance, and he sings drawn out words like someone on an acid trip would hear them going though the same experience

Nashville Skyline is my all time favorite Bob Dylan album with with Blood On The Tracks coming in a close second

It took me a while to get him. I think it was bringing it all back home when I got it.

Dylan changed my life and was one of the main reasons I got into music and started playing guitar. I've seen him live twice when I was 14 and 20. I used to listen to his 60s albums over and over in my teens especially Highway 61 Revisted, Freewheelin' and Blonde on Blonde. I first heard Blood on the Tracks when I was 13 and it floored me.

The Live 1966 album was the one that clinched it for me with Dylan. I admit being slow to fully appreciate him, but that album was a revelation to me.

I worship Bob Dylan..He is the G O A T…with no equals…I have been a fan since 1965…I am looking forward to watching these videos..very cool👍❤glen

I didn’t get Dylan til I was 32, when I heard BOTT and New morning. Now he’s my favorite artist. Warning, deep rabbit hole ahead’

already love this & haven’t even watched it yet. can’t wait for this whole series to unfold. Bob is my favorite artist of all time. super excited for Joe to get to albums like Oh Mercy + Love & Theft.

Stones listography on October 20th?! C'mon boys! This is the moment we've been waiting YEARS for. It could be the vid that blows this channel up!!

Wow, this is fantastic! Big props to Joe for being open to explore in such depth my very favourite artist, Bob Dylan….and to be joined by the ever articulate Dylan namesake! So excited to watch this series and to chime in. I have been pushing in my modest way for Joe to better appreciate the Bob, so I am very respectful of his willingness to tackle this Everest. Such a great surprise and treat! And co-host Dylan has already expressed very well why Dylan is so important and valued…and absolutely the seeds of a unique interpretation and appreciation of traditional working man folk is clear on the very strong first album. To really explore this (and other) periods, you should also listen to adjoining Bootleg Series releases…in this case Volume One, the first disc…to hear many Dylan authored songs that weren’t included for whatever reason on Bob Dylan the album. Revelatory and essential. This is going to be great! Thank you Joe! Cheers, JPE

loved this ... keep rolling like stones with this format!

my dylan journey started in the seventies ,, with desire then blood on the tracks which sealed my love for bob ,, didnt take to his sixties stuff to begin with,, but it didnt take long , just had to have every record good or bad ,, awesome artist .

There's hope Joe! I didn't start enjoying Beatles, Stones or Dylan until I was in my 40s. Now I love all of them too bits!

REALLY excited for this

This is a great idea for a series. I definitely have great artists I just don't get.

i was not a dylan fan growing up as my bro adorded him!!! But he has for sure grown on me!! Im still not totally there yet , but i seem to appreciate him more and more!!🐯🐯

I am kind of in the same boat as Joe, although I've come to appreciate Bob's music a lot more. My revelation was hearing Sign on the Window on Spotify and instantly falling in love with it. I went and immediately purchased New Morning to listen to that song and the other songs on it. I then decided to listen to 2 records that were considered some of his best, that being Blood on the Tracks and Desire. While, they both had some great songs on them, these albums didn't captivate me enough. I will still have to revisit them and give them another listen. I tried Nashville Skyline, which I enjoyed very much and purchased. Tried John Wesley Harding but did not really enjoy it because I am not a fan of songs that start with a loud harmonica sound. I have recently tried Planet Waves and I think this may be my current favorite album of his. I guess my point, you have to try his different albums and some you may like and some you won't.

Awesome new series. Looking forward to this.

This is going to be fun to watch this journey unfold AND with a superstar guest to boot! Look forward to seeing your discussions and seeing how Joe reacts to the entire discography, especially since I am on my own journey through it myself (I've made it the late 00s so far). Dylan is the perfect guide and if he can't help Joe love Bob, no one can.

I don't think there will be a revelation here. I'm 67 and have been listening to Bob Dylan's music since I was 6 years old when one of my big brothers brought his debut album home. As a 6 year old I was amused by Dylan's down home affectations on Talkin' New York and the part in Freight Train Blues where he holds a note for a long time. Baby, Let Me Follow You Down is fun and catchy and Song To Woody is sweet. But I'm having a hard time imagining Joe enjoying the rest of the album, based on his comments about Maggie's Farm. How Dylan differentiated himself in those days was through his grittiness. The Kingston Trio and Peter Paul & Mary had these beautiful harmonies but Dylan sounded rough-hewn, more burlap than silk. And his fans took this, I assume, as more real, more honest. But man, that was his act. He pretended to be a hobo, riding the rails like his role model, Woody Guthrie. The sound of his early albums is intimate, person to person. And this seems real. But his songwriting is full of obfuscation, except for rare protest songs like the Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll and Hurricane. Anyway, if you love him, god bless. But I have never developed a deep appreciation for his music, however much I've tried because of how hyped he is, and I don't think that that makes me a lesser person. His music has no charm for me, simple as that. I could explain more but this post is too long already.

First album I heard from Dylan was bringing it all back home….being a new listener at the time, I remember liking subterranean homesick blues and mr tambourine man but the song I think that made me realize what Bob was all about was its alright Ma, I’m only bleeding. I now love Bob Dylan there’s a certain suspense I get every time I hear a new album because I want to know what he has to say. It took me awhile Joe but I think you can get there

Already a fan but appreciation level increased while watching live broadcast of The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration. Clancy Brothers etc with When the Ship Comes In, Lou Reed with Foot of Pride, June Carter Cash & Johnny Cash doing It Ain't Me Babe ... lots more. Knew was witnessing something special. Goosebumps!

Great Idea for a Podcast, and I hope Joe finally gets Bob in the end... I think the right albums to convince him, will be albums like "Desire" and "Slow Train Coming", where the arrangments and productions aren't as stripped down as usual (but not as overproduced and soulless as his 80s lowpoints)

Great idea Joe 👍 Love it. Eagerly awaiting the next ep! Also agree that context is a factor that should be a consideration 👌

I also never quite managed to swallow the full magnificence of what constitutes classic Dylan. When I was growing up as a teenager The Traveling Wilburys was very much a thing that I gravitated towards. ELO’s Afterglow while not a great box set was the first set of music that I can recall buying with my own money. And still to this day the loss of Tom Petty as an artist has had a profound effect on me beyond no other. Back in those days I also loved George and was delighted by my discovery of the Beatles catalog, but I never really ever did the same with Dylan. I too love his “Like a Rolling Stone” his best song, IMO) while my favorite Dylan album to this day and I in fact consider it to be my favorite album of all time is “Blood on the Tracks”. Released in 1975 the year of my birth, I’ve never heard it’s equal as an overall listening experience. I also too quite enjoy “Nashville Skyline” that album is a total hoot and not without its own pathos … being a long time Nickel Creek fan, I love Sara’s take on the Dylan penned tune “Tomorrow is a Long Time” and at almost 50 now I’m still discovering great tunes like just earlier this year and Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” I now find that to be a brilliant song. So bottom line is have fun on the journey Joe. And same goes to us all, on this continually blissful acquaintance and discovery of perfect and ebullient music.

Joe is the most fascinating person on this channel. I don’t agree with him about Sonic Youth and such, but of the three TLM hosts, he’s the one most willing to get out of his comfort zone, to stretch himself, to challenge his preconceived notions. He’s also the only one of the three who seems like to appreciate soul and R&B, but we’ll save that complaint for another day (how about a P-funk catalog dive?). Looking forward to “Bringing it all Back Home” (currently going backwards…).

Joe, I think this is a great idea! But I'm not entirely sure that starting from the beginning and moving forward listening to one studio album after another is the easiest way to go. I don't know if you're going to be turned on to the "Times They Are A Changin'" and "Another Side Of Bob Dylan" albums until you're already "getting" him. And that might feel frustrating for you. I was one of those listeners who originally thought the Byrds' versions of his songs were more pleasing to the ear. Then I took one listen to his "Mr. Tambourine Man" and it was over. His versions just blew theirs out of the water. I think one of the main obstacles in discovering Bob is that there is SO MUCH of it. Perhaps, instead of listening to albums, you should try listening to individual songs first. There's "romantic" Bob: Tomorrow Is A Long Time Boots Of Spanish Leather Mama, You've Been On My Mind I'll Keep It With Mine If Not For You There's "heart-breaking" Bob: Don't Think Twice (It's Alright) Let Me Die In My Footsteps Moonshiner Simple Twist Of Fate There's "not sure what the best adjective to use here" Bob: He Was A Friend Of Mine Bob Dylan's Dream Mr. Tambourine Man There's "odd" or "amusing" Bob: Yea! Heavy And A Bottle of Bread Talkin' Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues I Shall Be Free Highway 61 Revisited Isis There's "F-you" Bob: Positively 4th Street Idiot Wind There's "where in the hell did this come from?" Bob: It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) Desolation Row Visions Of Johanna Last Thoughts On Woody Guthrie Tangled Up In Blue There's "dropping pearls of wisdom" Bob: Blowin' In The Wind The Times They Are A-Changin' Subterranean Homesick Blues There are many other Bobs, as well. Just watch the movie "I'm Not There," one of the most inspirational movies I've ever seen. I also wonder if it would be a better idea to listen to some of his "Bootleg Series" albums prior to his studio albums: Volume 4 (Live 1966), Volume 5 (Live 1975) and Volume 6 (Live 1964) are excellent entries into the music of those eras.

Does not liking Dylan make you a bad person? No. But, it calls your musical taste into question. At least, you're working toward self-improvement. 😅😄😂

I could listen to Positively 4th Street all day.

Joe this is an incredible idea. Being from Minnesota Dylan and Prince are revered and introducing the topic you wear a Purple Rain shirt!! But you dont have to love him. Your ears hear what they hear. His voice is obviously a hindrance to some. I find his voice so unique that its refreshing. Just the lyrics to Like A Rolling Stone alone make him a legend!! Proud of you for trying!! Best music channel on You tube in my opinion!!

Watching "Don't Look Back" and "No Direction Home" is what made it click for me. Seeing him as the flawed and sometimes petulant man of the moment rather than rock star emeritus was what did it. The end of "Don't Look Back" (I think, it may be NDH) has the damnedest version of "Like a Rolling Stone". One of the most badass rock n roll things I've ever seen. Thank god it made it on videotape.

Cool series! I fully agree with Dylan that "The way Dylan sings really connect with me on an emotional level". Bob Dylan is my favourite artist of all time, and like Dylan says in this episode, I think his debut is too often overlooked and brushed away as something unimportant, but I think Dylan is as good at interpreting songs, as he is writing them. By the way, I like Empire Burlesque, not necessarily the arrangements, but I think the songwriting is strong, apart from Clean Cut Kid (which is in my bottom 5 Dylan songs).

I am a big bob fan love his voice and all his changes

dylan with a head east shoutout ,what a great band!🐯

Absolutely agree on Dylan as a great vocalist. Words are just syllables for so many singers; Bob Dylan sings every line, self-penned or cover, like he *means* it. It's never just empty sounds. Also: "Moonshiner" from BS1-3 is to me absolute proof that he is a technically good singer as well.

i have been waiting for this moment my whole life, i can see my life changing already no seriously excited for this series!

I'll never LOVE him but I respect his songwriting talents and the massive influence he's had on music. I did score Highway 61 Revisited at 4.5 stars, which is fairly rare for me honestly.

Dylan mentioning the almost folk/punk feel of this first album got me to thinking about when I was in my 20s and beginning to dip into the blues. I would hear guys from Sabbath, Metallica, Megadeth, and, of course, Clapton and Page etc. talk about how heavily influenced they were by '20s, '30s blues players. I would kind of roll my eyes, and then go back and listen to Charley Patton, Blind Willie Johnson, Robert Johnson, of course, and I'll be damned if I don't hear it. Looking forward to upcoming episodes. Thanks guys.

lol the White album was my first deep dive into the Beatles as well when I was a kid, I agree that it shapes your life in a very unique way

I'm just a minute in and I know it's gonna be the best video ever. Suerte Joe! Te va a encantar!

Great idea for a show! Really liked Dylan’s praise for the first album. I totally agree that the energetic performances make it stand out. I always enjoy listening to it. Looking forward to Joe’s reactions!

This is an intriguing idea! Might have to give it a try. Kudos to you, Joe, for giving this topic a go!

Very cool theme with a different twist to your show. I am looking forward to your journey. :)

Glad you are doing this, Dylan is a great addition to your musical appreciation and who better to highlight all those nooks and crannies than a guy called Dylan. Ace stuff, I’m hooked. 👍

Hey, as a big Dylan fan, this is a good new idea! Enjoyed the first, looking 4ward to more, cheers!

Dylan is also a painter and for me his songs are like paintings - they strike you in a visceral way - or they don't. Trying to break down his music verbally to say why someone "should" love like it is a fool's mission. Dylan's music has been with me through the arc of my whole life. Hard to imagine a world without it. It doesn't make someone a bad persosn if they don't appreciate his music. Art is subjective after all. But I do feel sorry for those who don't - has the world of his creativity is a deep wonderful cavern to explore.

I've just started another run-through of Dylan's discography myself (listened up to Street Legal before but will go further this time) so this is perfect timing. Joe's also doing an amazing job as a host and is the perfect subject for this concept (possibly the most open-minded, or open-earred, of the boys)

Joe, this is great! As a Dylan fan, I sure understand those who don't appreciate him. Voice, production, frequent changes in direction. But there are those of us who appreciate him being who he is and not cranking out the same thing for the past 40 years. And lyrically, there is no one who comes close. Joni Mitchell is the best complete package but she can't compare lyrically and as a cultural icon. But I love this interview and can't wait for future episodes.

I'm not a huge fan but I respect his career and actually like his vocals. He is one of the greatest songwriters for sure. My favorite album of his is "Slow Train Coming".

I love this idea for a series

Great reaction guys.. Bob is the G.O.A.T..not those sports guys!! Shakespeare with a guitar!!

Interesting idea - my feelings are probably similar to Joe's here. I don't love his voice but I do not have a problem with it either (I used to really not like it, but I've grown to appreciate it to some extent). Just listened to The Minks' album on bandcamp, can definitely recommend it to anyone into americana or alternative rock. Good stuff indeed.

My favorite thing about Bob is the variety of his sound. I love most of his different sounds but I’m excited for you to (hopefully) find at least one album you fall in love with. What made me go from liking him to loving him was probably the first time I heard the Nashville Skyline album.

When I first heard "Like a Rolling Stone" I thought it sounded weak. My exposure to music was just too limited at the time. I was more oriented towards things like Van Halen and The Cars. Love it now though.

Really looking forward to this! Joe appears open to dispelling his own prejudices, perceptions and myths surrounding music. I see this in the diverse styles of the artists and bands he respects and discusses. Ever-changing open-mindedness is the key to growth. He’s putting in the work. Happy you’re giving Bob Dylan a real chance to wow you (or make you laugh, cry, or contemplate.)

My favorite Dylan moment was on his radio show when he played " You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory " by Johnny Thunders & commented .. " I wish I wrote something that good " .. Humility is a virtue. Seeing him live in 1979 made me a fan.

Dylan clicked finally for me just yesterday. I just think his songwriting is outstanding and that it has plenty of beautiful and fun music to get into. Highway 61 Revisited did it for me, but Desire is also a good start.

Best of all time in my book. My wife and kids can’t suffer him 😂. Great idea for a series of vids. The first album is definitely underrated in his discography. I think it’s better than a lot of his other 60s output. I’d put it ahead of Nashville Skyline and maybe even Another Side and John Wesley Harding.

If "The Lonesome Ballad Of Hattie Carroll" was the only song Dylan wrote he would deserve to be remembered.

Yes you can cause he’s the goat 🐐

Wow, what a undertaking. I’m 60 For the life of me I’ve been trying to get into Bob Dylan. as a teenager. I tried to get into him when blood on the tracks came out and desire at that time. I even remember watching the hard rain special back in 1976. It was on TV. I had a poster of him on my wall. I just thought it was something I’m supposed to do like this guy because the Beatles liked him and I was a big Beatles fan, but I just couldn’t continue. I understand his importance in music history and I respect it but I just don’t get it. The only album I can tolerate all the way through is Nashville skyline.

When I was 10, 11, 12 years old, Bob Dylan was probably my all time favorite artist, even over The Beach Boys and The Who (the madness of youth). Today, I can't dispute that many of his albums are 5 star experiences "objectively speaking", but with some exceptions, I don't find myself wanting to listen to them as often as most other artists I loved at that age. At this point, I very much enjoy a classical music type experience from pop. Of course albums like Sgt. Pepper, Pet Sounds, and Quadrophenia records deliver that in spades with all the baroque instrumentation, rhapsody-ish song structures, and in the case of Quadrophenia literally having leitmotifs like a 19th century opera. With Dylan it's obviously a lot more derived from folk and blues, which I don't think appeals to me as much anymore. But who knows, my taste could easily shift again back to that sound.

Wow! Interesting to follow this series of the Dylan discography. Artist in the folk scene that were bigger in 1962: Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Peter, Paul & Mary, Dave van Ronk to mention a few. But Bob was unique in writing his own sharp lyrics in a very fast way - almost like AI today. 😅 You must listen to the bootleg to hear more of hisnsongs from these years. ❤

Wow...this is a great idea. Song To Woody is wonderful on this album. Also Talkin Blues style song taps into great tradition of this style Woody Guthrie made famous.

Good on you. I would suggest listening to covers of his songs. His songwriting speaks for itself, but sometimes I need to hear the song sung by another artist before it really hits me.

Looking forward to this. I absolutely don’t like Bob Dylan, but we will see….

I think Dylan's Unplugged turned the switch for me. I liked some of his songs before, but the MTV Unplugged album was just the epitome of cool.

LUV that you guys are talking Dylan on this video, I just covered Eat The Document on Gen-X Muse and I am preparing to discuss the "Judas" concert from '66 to follow that up, I love this period of Dylan, but I have always loved and appreciated Dylan's acoustic stuff, maybe more than the electric stuff at times, but I wasn't one of these idiots from back in the day that acted like my childhood was robbed when he went electric.

I've recommended it to you before, Joe, but I'm predicting you are really going to like Planet Waves compared to some of Dylan's denser albums. It is a really fun listen, and The Band's playing is fantastic.

Totally agree with fellow RI native here that Dylan is more than a songwriter. I think people who know a lot about popular music/rock and also aren't big Dylan fans, tend to appreciate the lyrics and the influence of Dylan. But I think they might put him in that box and that's what closes them off? Like Dylan Sevey, I also think his voice has so much emotion in it and people underestimate the music. Lot of people look at say All Along the Watchtower. They understand it's a great song, with great lyrics, and he's a great songwriter and oh by the way isn't the Hendrix's version so much better. And the Hendrix version is great no doubt, but that stripped down version on Harding is a different aesthetic choice that conveys the apocalyptic vibe just as well. I'd say better for not being as obvious. Anyway I'm clearly rooting for your breakthrough! Just that I see a lot people who are very very knowledgeable about music create lots of different conceptual boxes to understand it all and then put Dylan into one in a way that cuts off the way they hear it. Dylan actually wrote a poem about he always thought Joan Baez's music was too pretty to be good until one night when he got drunk and his defenses were down. That poem is kind of like the reverse of how most people do it. All right. I'm on the edge my seat.

BTW, Joe I think you will enjoy the deep cuts more than the 'hits'. I was floored when I heard the 1st eight albums when they came out on CD, and I played them almost into the ground. I have a feeling you will be a big fan of Freewheelin and Bringing It All Back Home when you get to those.

I like Bob as much as the average Joe, which I guess is more than you (even though that is your name). I have a couple of hit packages and a few stray CDs. My favorite is Love & Theft. Oh Mercy has some pretty good stuff too. Looking forward to this series.

Love this episode idea/series. I do like Bob but not over the top crazy about him. Like some of his early acoustic songs. Prefer his electric period. Some albums more than others. His later period stuff not so much. I think those are for the OTT Dylan fans. His voice is shot. Saw him twice live. First time was Dylan with new band, Jewel opened. It was the good Dylan and you could hear the lyrics and knew what songs he was playing. This made me appreciate him more. 2nd time was the Joni, Van, Bob tour. Joni stole the show. Dylan #2, Van #3.

"I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children"; "And I'll stand over your grave until I'm sure that you're dead"; "And there ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe, I'm on the dark side of the road;" "Two men died 'neath the Mississippi moon, somebody better investigate soon"; etc., for starters.

The first album is worth a listen especially for his version of House of the Rising Sun which will make you hear all other versions in a different way.

As a Rock and Roll fan appreciating the evolution of Rock , you will find a large influence from BD in your journey .. EX: when Bob came on the scene it was popular to be a handsome clean cut man with a great voice ...ha ... Bob was a scraggley kid with a yodel like hillbilly voice , but he knew how to courageously ''deliver'' the words and this got the attention of that early crowd .... The folk scene (early 60's) then is worth researching as a historical reference due to how it will be changed ...... IMO

Hi Joe, In my opinion if you love Gene Clark "no other" to bits as you said, it's impossible you might not like some of Bob Dylan albums, namely Nashville Skyline, Blood on the tracks and Desire, unless you don't like the person itself

Love his 70s stuff, the rest, odd exceptio,n, not keen. So much music, so little time to struggle.

joe you got BENGAL cred!!🐯

Looking forward to your talking heads 're-education' also

Jesus Christ this is going to be insane I love it ❤

Bob Dylan changed everything. I've seen him 26 times from 1989 to present. Anyone who claims to like music should get it. Fuckig rock star that made me think and feel.

i don't think you can learn to love dylan, but i think you can learn to like him. i bought "blood on the tracks" because i thought i needed a dylan disc in my collection, and i do love "tangled up in blue". and it's a really, really good album. it probably wouldn't even crack my top 100...200...but it's got great songs on it (nobody can deny dylan's wordplay) and every once in a while, i might pull it out. and it's good enough that if I ever came across another one of his landmark albums, like "blonde on blonde," that if the price was right i'd buy it.

most people embrace the sophomoric or benign like ' IMAGINE' or 'BOHEMIAN RHAPOSDY' for others DYLAN sang his words his way, real and raw, but if you fail to realize he was the greatest artist of the 20th century, it doesn't mean you can't have good taste in other things

Bob of course is one of the greatest lyricist ever, he is definitely very special kind of musician " King of Folk Rock"! I actually love his voice , his flat, nasally, off key thing works perfectly for certain songs! For me, it's all about Bring it on Home, Highway 61 Revisited and most definitely Blood on the Tracks (one of my all time favorite albums ever)!

Will you chaps be reviewing the new Stones single? Just heard it and, putting the slightly lame sounding backing vocals to one side, I really like it!

He’s an acquired taste. It’s so odd because I’ve been listening to Neil young and Joan baez. Can’t wait to listen to this podcast! Ray Carter.

Yeah, I’m not an all-time Dylan fan, mostly actually because it’s hard for me to be able to completely separate him and his work from the questionable (to say the least) stuff that he’s done in his life. As an artist, he’s absolutely important and legendary am for all of his influence and impact, and for that I do respect him a great bit. That being said, I can’t really say that I like most of his material except for the classic period and Blood on the Tracks.

You have to have a certain affinity for folk, country, and americana in order to like Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead, etc. They were an acquired taste for me.

Next time Joe will have to get Dylan to learn to love Pet Sounds and fix that 3/5 score

Excellent concept. IMO this is about as good as this kind of channel can get. Full of doubt, but with courage. IMO the episode really starts once DS starts talking in depth about 'Freewheelin"; very good.

Joe, what in the world is on your wall behind the globe?

Kram could do this for Billy Joel. Strap him down like Alex in A Clockwork Orange

Loving Dylan is as natural as mothers milk.
