album of albums

thought i'd take 2 popular recent topics (the "album of albums" format and bob dylan) and put them together into something new and exciting that will probably get something like 2 replies and 4 votes.

 

me: 'blood on the tracks'. probably his most tightly constructed album, most emotional, lots of great songs, & his best vocals.

Tough one. For me it's really close between "Highway 61 Revisited" and "Blood on the Tracks" and my vote could change instantly, but I picked "Blood on the Tracks". Tangled Up in Blue settled it.

Highway 61 Revisited is easily on of Bob's best albums IMO.

Repeat that for me, pretty much verbatim. Earlier stuff is more "important," but this is his peak.

Bob Dylan has so many great albums that it's hard to choose, but at the moment, I'd say John Wesley Harding.

No collection is complete without Blonde on Blonde, but I picked Blood on the Tracks.

[Guest BAR]

Blood on the Tracks, no doubt.

interesting choice, why'd you go with that one?

[Henry Spencer]

I'm not really sure, to be honest. It's the only album of his I really sit down and listen to the whole way through, as opposed to, say, Blonde On Blonde or Highway 61 Revisited where I'll skip over several of the songs. John Wesley Harding doesn't have many highlights, it's just incredibly consistant.

 

Blood On The Tracks seems to the the consensus answer here, although I've only heard Idiot Wind and Tangled Up In Blue, both great songs. I need to pick up a copy of that, and it might change my mind.

Higway 61 Revisted. Indisputable Fact: Though not on the album I voted for, "Idiot Wind" is the finest moment in Dylan's career.
