It's called : Bob Dylan Biograph. Its all his hits and other tracks from his beginning till 1981. Some songs I've never heard before like Masters Of War,Percy's Song, Tombstone Blues,and Grooms Still Waiting At The Alter. He got it from a charity shop so it's not a recent collection. I love it though ! Hurricane isn't on it though which is my favourite track by him.
Just back in from pub so I'll play tomorrow I'm half pissed ! Dylan is a genius !
It's not on this collection.Have you heard a track called Masters Of War ? A great song and I keep playing it. Also there's another track called ISIS but not sure its about the terrorist mob ? Bit before their time so probably just a coincidence. Quinn The Eskimo is on it which I never knew he wrote.
I'm still in shock about Grendel saying Bowie is overrated. If he says so is Dylan I'll probably have a stroke !
Masters of War is off his "Freewheelin'" album. "Isis" is actually a girl's name. Released in the 70's so nothing to do with the ISIS we know today! Keep listening to Dylan. You'll eventually love his stuff as much as me! By the way, have you ever listened to much Leonard Cohen? Similar stuff to Dylan but in his own clever style. Great, deep gravelly voice!
I'd like to give Grendull a friggin' good slap! Twat!
I had a Cohen album years ago and it was good but have to start listening to his stuff again. I can't believe I didn't listen to Dylan though as his songs are so powerful with stories behind them.No wonder he got the Nobel prize !
Music is subjective so what one person likes someone else doesn't. I dislike jazz but that doesn't mean jazz is crap.
You're right. Jazz IS crap, but not just because you don't like it.
The girl in the flat above me has always got rap on and at times really loud. I dislike rap so I stick on some heavy metal which has at times got her to turn the rap crap off ! On a lighter note I'm just back in and got the Dylan CD on again. I'm bloody addicted now !
Listening to the words this morning of Masters Of War they should get Tony Blair and George Bush to play it and cringe in shame !
I can't stand rap, either. If I wanted to listen to bad poetry, I'd go to the local amateur poets society meetings.
Like I wrote earlier I've got into Dylan's music late but what I've listened to so far it's all been good. As for Buckley is he the one that died young ?
My dad loved his music and as a kid I recall he was always playing/singing to Nat King Cole,Jim Reeves,Perry Como,and others from that era.When he passed away I kept some of his collection as he had moved on to CDs.And on the odd occasion have played some of it especially Andy Williams.Bloody love Williams ! And even my son likes him too which shows music especially good music lives on through the generations.
Yes, Tim Buckley died in his late 20's, accidental drug overdose I think. Dylan was my first introduction to modern music. Before that I only heard 50's music, my father liked Connie Francis and Lonnie Donegan. When I first heard Bob Dylan ("The Times They Are a'Changin", I think), it opened my eyes and ears and I started listening to all kinds of music. Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits was the first record album I ever bought. After that I bought his two earlier albums, which I really liked. Here's a Phil Ochs song:
