Bob Dylan

fretfriend · 10-19-2005, 12:17 AM

He is labled one of the best poets of all time if you have anything more to say plz do. I want to know all about him.

Merridew · 10-19-2005, 01:36 AM

listen to Hurricane by him, its amazing, not to mention a true story too

JonM · 10-19-2005, 08:43 AM

Yup. He's good.

~~EightMilesHigh~~ · 10-19-2005, 10:06 AM

Uh, fanboy here?

In my opinion, he's tied with The Beatles for greatest songwriter of 20th century. His lyrics are so stunningly real. Everything makes so much sense and is so relevent.

And he's got so many great songs. Mississipi, Tangled Up In Blue, Blowin' In The Wind, It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding), Masters Of War, Bob Dylan's 115th dream, A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall, If Not For You, Hurricane, I Shall Be Released, Gotta Serve Somebody....

He's amazing. He seems so humble, too. Cool guy. One of my biggest role models.

thickasabrick · 10-19-2005, 02:47 PM

Yeah Bob Dylan is definitely (in mine and many other peoples opinion) the greatest songwriter of all time. I'm listening to him right now actually. If you haven't heard the song The Times They Are A-Changin', I suggest you listen to it. He is amazing.

Gypsy Campervan · 10-19-2005, 03:01 PM

Anyone what 'No Direction Home?' He seemed really fake.

Broken Arrow · 10-19-2005, 03:28 PM

Why is that?

thickasabrick · 10-19-2005, 04:12 PM

Really fake? Bob Dylan?

robo2448 · 10-19-2005, 08:34 PM

If you want some background info on him, I wrote a profile for another site a while ago that might help a little- http://entertainmentforums.greatboard.com/viewtopic.php?t=221

Reading it again, it's not very good but it should give you some info. His book, Chronicles Vol, 1, and No Direction Home (the DVD) are awesome. And then you get to the music. I'd get Highway 61 first if I was you, even though I prefer Blood on the Tracks. Highway 61 is a great introductory album.

thickasabrick · 10-19-2005, 09:44 PM

I also suggest Blood on the Tracks for an introductory album.

Those songs give me chills every time I listen to them. They back up the claim that he is the lyrical master.

My favorite part of "No Direction Home" was when you see him taking pictures of the journalists. Quite funny.

That's actually from another d0cumentary called Don't Look Back, which I recommend to all Bob fans.

Kurtz · 10-20-2005, 10:26 PM

I'm really starting to get into him, mainly because of No Direction Home.

He's incredible.

I bought Highway 61 Revisited as my introductory album, I can't put my hands down on it. My dad's a huge fan, so I'm gonna ask him for recommendations for Bob too.

Ishy · 10-20-2005, 10:50 PM

hes so awesome man i enjoy every bit of his music his song "Like a Rolling Stone" is so real so original

~~novembercocaine~~ · 10-20-2005, 11:48 PM

he is awesome, he gave the beatles marijuana

Robert Crumb · 10-21-2005, 12:50 AM

Bob Dylan beat up Batman in hand-to-hand combat.

Walrus Gumboot · 10-21-2005, 08:49 AM

A few minutes ago I was in a state of hypnosis from Desolation Row

I always took him for granted, but now I see the light

robo2448 · 10-21-2005, 06:00 PM

Anyone in here like Love And Theft? It's from 2001, but it's still an excellent album. I own No Direction Home, I feel like watching it again sometime this weekend.

Ulysses · 10-21-2005, 06:40 PM

Great lyricist, great ability to tell stories, he influenced the Beatles and they influenced him, he got them into marijuana. They were into Purple Hearts and the like and he said marijuana was better because it was natural. They soon changed their mentality in regards to the drug. John Lennon was stoned when he wound the tapes on backwards and produced the song Rain. Very nice.
