Dylan´s Blonde on Blonde.

Doesn´t mattet if youre 18 or 81.


At some point on the life of a music enthusiastic, this album will be at the top....

Dylan should be on top!

(at least above Brown... thats for sure!)

Glad we all agree...


rock and roll is almost dead!

1994 Kurt Cobain kill himself and released the best MTV unplugged ever. Blur´s Parklife is a masterpiece. Oasis released their excellent debut. Beck makes everyone who likes music curious and excited about him with Mellow Gold. Portishead makes the stunning Dummy. Manic Street Preachers makes their ...

i can´t believe that i forgot Mr. Hank Williams.


now i have one of my favourite artist of all time...


WHAR: You NEED to hear that song. Its definitely a modern classic (and don´t miss Mississippi and Cry a While too... in fact, buy the album!)

wehitandrun is not a dick at all.


in fact, although i do think that I Want You is much better than Alibi, we agree in many things........ except for this song and that orange early 80´s album!

oh, and i hope that they don´t reissue the Basement Tapes.

WE NEED TO LISTEN TO THE WHOLE GENUINE BASEMENT TAPES!

'I´m Not There', 'Sign on the Cross'....


Amazing stuff.

please Columbia please!!!

New Morning is beggin for a SACD released.



maybe then most people will see what a classic Dylan record this is...

'High water risin' - risin' night and day
All the gold and silver are being stolen away
Big Joe Turner lookin' East and West
From the dark room of his mind
He made it to Kansas City
Twelfth Street and Vine
Nothing standing there
High water everywhere'

Which one do you think its best?

Berry, Buddy Holly, Woody Guthrie?

Any other?


my favourite is Berry. By far...

let´s wait Dylan´s next 3 records...

>KOA, ATUB, and B&C also deserve to be considered among his finest records.

i never said it didnt.

> It implies that he went downhill after that

i didn´t say that.

01. My Aim Is True
02. This Year´s Model
03. Imperial Bedroom
04. Trust
05. Armed Forces
all the above are classics

06. Get Happy
hope one day i´ll figure what makes me dislike this record the way i do!

(never listen to Almost Blue - so i´m not goin to rank it)

two great AND similiar songs. COUPLES!!!

no problem at all


btw,

welcome King Hoarse.

The "lame intro" alone is better than the whole Alibi song

'I see every human kind
And still the truth is distant
I see every evil men do and desire
Got to be more then just a soul for hire'

Great lyrics; Mysterious, dark and sexy melody; Good singin´;...
nothing wrong with it.



oh, and please don´t come sayin´ that it doest fit with the record mood.

wehitandrun: btw, did you received your copy of the monumental Blonde on Blonde?

Tart is definitely in my top 10 Costello songs.


(And in a recent thread - made by the most intellectual elviscostellofans.com poster - i pick its first lines as my favourite Costello first lines)

Sadly, i´ve never been in a Costello concert, and neither listen to any of his 2 last records live (except 3 or 4 songs in the tv). Im curious: which one is better when played in concert? i believe that most people will say that the songs from WIWC is better (just because the studio record is much s...

first of all i like to say that i am not, by any means, a purist.

that said,

as much as i love Alibi i think that I Want You is a better song.
(much better in fact)

>"Alibi" and "I Want You"


same kind of songwritting.


nice choice

and the greatest couple of all time:

Jackson Monk and wehitandrun
