Bob Dylan

The kings of Tyrus with their convict list
Are waiting in line for their geranium kiss,
And you wouldn't know it would happen like this,
But who among them really wants just to kiss you?
With your childhood flames on your midnight rug,
And your Spanish manners and your mother's drugs,
And your cowboy mouth and your curfew plugs,
Who among them do you think could resist you?

Been getting into Bob Dylan lately. What songs are an absolute must listen?

what's he doing in that picture?

typing up other people's lyrics?

Listen to albums man.

>The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan
>Bringing it all Back Home
>Blonde on Blonde
>John Wesley Harding
>Blood on the Tracks
>Desire
>Love and Theft
>Modern Times
>Tempest

These are probably his most Yea Forums albums. Two must hear songs not included are Changing of the Guards and Like a Rolling Stone. Then listen to the rest pre-1978 and post-1997 (just skip the middle period for now).

I wouldn't skip Infidel.

What about Time Out of Mind? Blood on the Tracks, Blonde on Blonde, John Wesley Harding, and Time Out of Mind are all great.

I agree, just that I was trying to keep the list as brief as possible.

>randomly skipping Highway 61

That wasn’t random, I think Blonde on Blonde improves on it. I’m not just naming every great Dylan album, I made a list that showcases a variety of his styles.

Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands is Dylan's best song, but you forgot the best lyric:
With your sheet-metal memory of Cannery Row
And your magazine husband who one day just had to go
And your gentleness now, which you just can’t help but show
Who among them do you think would employ you?
Now you stand with your thief, you’re on his parole
With your holy medallion which your fingertips fold
And your saintlike face and your ghostlike soul
Oh, who among them do you think could destroy you?

Wow that’s so logophilic and not to mention erudite, no wonder he won the Nobel Prize over the comparatively noob and dare I say plebfully coherent list of actual authors.

>no Highway 61
>three post-90s albums but no Time Out Of Mind
I know something is happening here, but damned if I know what it is

Visions of Johana

>songs
Zoomers were a mistake

vapid poetry set to vapid music

folk is fine when it originates organically from a culture, but when folk becomes implanted memories of a culture used as a marketing tactic to get rich off dumb boomer hippies, it's not. the only difference between dylan and mumford and sons is how they are marketed and what specific consumers they were manufactured for, listen to classical

Start with his early acoustic folk albums
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
The Times They Are A-Changin
and then his most important electric albums
Bringing It All Back Home
Highway 61 Revisited
Blonde on Blonde
Blood On The Tracks
also his performance of Masters of War live at Brandeis University is kino
I know he has masterpieces on his other albums but I think these ones are the best introduction to Dylan
