 Y’all gently caress with Bobby d? The voice of a generation? The man with the golden voice, honeyed and smooth like your first expensive cigarette of the day? Do you agree that it is best to pretend you are bob dylan and say THINGS with his goofy emphaSIS that sounds simultaneously absurd but also extremely compelling? Would you say that you personally have a favorite bob Dylan song or album? Would you share it with the class? How many copies of his acclaimed Christmas album, Christmas In The Heart, do you own? Are you more into the old folky stuff or the electric stuff, perhaps the more country/rootsy stuff? Are you one of those disgusting, dog-rear end freaks who like Christian Dylan? Lord I hope not. What about his physical appearance? I think we all agree that his look from Freewheeling Bob Dylan is the most iconic but maybe you prefer his modern appearance where he looks like an undertaker, mortician or other death related professional. Have you ever seen him performing on his neverending tour? I hear mixed things. My fiancé saw him when she was a teenager and said it was the most disappointing show she’s ever been to. He contains multitudes. I’ll answer the above questions for you now. quote:Y’all gently caress with Bobby d? quote:Do you agree that it is best to pretend you are bob dylan and say THINGS with his goofy emphaSIS that sounds simultaneously absurd but also extremely compelling? quote:Would you say that you personally have a favorite bob Dylan song or album? quote:Would you share it with the class? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iIS6ZZ9RVA I’ll answer the other questions later probably.

When I was in junior high I was living in tokyo and going to international school, and we went to Hiroshima on a school and went to a memorial statue of a girl and we all sung Blowing in the Wind together, it was real goofy. Bob Dylan is awesome though and Highway 61 Revisited is an amazing album. Also the Walk Hard parody is great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u5x9pdInTU

I am a huge fan of Bob Dylan's music and words. I think it is good to set his words, persona and hype down for a second, and realize that if you listen through his discography you hear so many amazing musicians by their own right that sprawl across genres and scenes and generations. It's just wild. Actors and hollywood types too, like Sam Shepherd. "To Make You Feel My Love" as performed by Adele is probably the most recent time he was right in front of a national audience unnamed. And his recording style was very simplistic without much pre-production, reportedly. You are hearing the best musicians getting creative with his simple song structures on the spot. His songs are like playgrounds. I always notice in these threads Dylan's biggest detractors are usually shadowboxing with aspects of Dylan hyped most by others, putting words into the mouths of others, letting out their own intellectual insecurities. I just try to find positive in music for the most part, it's way more enjoyable than being some crusader for What's Good.

Besides his awful holy roller period, the dude has just always had a fantastic live American sound and makes you want to really listen to the story he is telling. His bootlegs are actually good and complete alternate takes on great songs that totally change up the feeling and even meaning of his words. When you realize how much stuff he fully realized and then threw away it really shows the respect he had for the listener. Anyway, he has made a little something for everyone and has a variety of great eras like Bowie. Don't watch him live anymore unless you want to be very disappointed : (

I saw him in a smaller joint in 2019 and it was good. His voice has gone lower and more of a growl, kind of Louis Armstrong-y tbh. There are some gem songs in the Holy Roller period!

Bob Dylan is fine. He had that great hype or confidence of a young person who is just pouring with energy, and I can respect that; it reminds me of a younger me, if it makes sense. Unrelated kind of, but my Spotify playlist has lately been suggesting songs that I first gave a chance and I'm not gonna even google him and might sound like a complete tool but at least I'm honest when I say I have no idea who is Rodriguez. At first I thought those were some Dylan songs I didn't know but very soon he's lyrics and "wit" became intolerable and I suggested Spotify to not suggest his songs anymore.

Dylan's fits on his album covers: first one is terrible. Oh my god what a dork. that hat loving sucks, collar sucks. Improves on the second. Then great until Nashville Skyline

Before my time and not really my jam anyway. I appreciate his talent and place in the American musical pantheon though. Kind of like Prince, same deal.

I remember when I was a kid there was some article in the newspaper about this wild new Napster thing and how the epidemic of music stealing was going to destroy the industry and it had a quote from Dylan that was something like "I dont think it matters because there hasn't been any music made worth paying for in the last twenty years anyway" which was pretty lol

Without Bob Dylan we wouldn't have Jimi Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower, one of the best performances ever. So respect to him for that.

he came out with 12 records in that time period though. I disagree anyway because Groove is in the Heart was definitely worth paying for. Cafe Barbarian fucked around with this message at 17:01 on Aug 30, 2023 |

im not huge into him but there are certain songs/albums/periods i like a lot, especially desire and the whole "rolling thunder review" period. i love the songs from that time but also that method of touring i found really inspiring, a huge kind of variety act and performing almost entirely in small towns. of course business-wise that tour was a huge disaster and a lot of the artists involved ended up kind of miserable. but ive been thinking about it ever since i saw the documentary about that tour. whether that kind of thing would be viable in the 2020's and how to make it happen here's one of my favorite performances from that period, this live version of Isis is incredible imo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cii3aF2a8oE

If I had to pick one Dylan album to have someone listen to in 2023 it would be Time Out Of Mind. Talk about atmosphere and great production without being "overproduced". Really takes off for me starting at 'Standing in the Doorway' and doesn't stop until the album is done.
