Re: It's Bob Dylan's 70th Birthday

^ Hey! WTF? Who hijacked my thread? (First, I mean…)

Barolojoe, belamo, was it one of you? I can't believe you guys, but no matter, it's too late now, the damage is done!

But as far as David Yaffe's 'interesting' (as I said) two-part list in The Village Voice is concerned, it was not a 'popularity list' that had nothing to do with 'judgement,' as one(or both) of you said. Don't confuse The Village Voice with the grossly inferior Rolling Stone (magazine, that is), which had such a list (and selected Like a Rolling Stone as Dylan's Number 1 Song of All Time, or some shit).

While it was indeed David Yaffe's 'judgment' that these seventy songs (out of Bob Dylan's more than five-hundred total) deserved to be specially noted on the occasion of his seventieth birthday, the list was clearly in alphabetical order ('A-Z,' as the title states). Hence, Ballad of a Thin Man was not in some supposed 'top five,' while Like a Rolling Stone was relegated 'to number 29' (again, as one or the other of you said).

Either both of you two, supercilious geniuses need to have the prescrptions fixed on your pince-nez (or lorgnette, depending on what century you think you're living in, respectively) or neither of you bothered to click the two links I helpfully provided to have actually looked at either part of the list (or, worse in my opinion, understood what you may have seen or read).

In any case, keep your 'flames' and your hautiness to yourselves, 'I don't need them anymore…'

Now… Hilarious Dylan Covers Números Drei y Quatre, wie folgt…

Live at Madison Square Garden, December 30, 2010…

^ I think it's hilarious cos of the way the cameraman seems, at times, to get distracted by the lights and balloons… Hmm… Night before New Year's Eve… Wonder why…​?

^ This one's funny cos of the way Trey over e-nun-ci-ates the words – and don't nobody get me wrong… I fucking l-u-r-v-e Phish!

'To Death, Man… Seriously!' (As a true Phish Phan once told me at a concert…)

Right, they're in alphabetical order. I confess to my superficiality.


Nevertheless I'm not wholly satisfied with Mr. Yaffe's judgement
(and I mean judgement - always, I never talked about "a popularity list").

For example Hurricane - one of the strongest Dylan songs - is not included.
Otherwise one-dimensional, sentimental junk from 'Nashville Skyline'
('Lay, Lady, Lay'; 'Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You' ) is listed... tztz...

In what way is quality related to the times in which musicians and their audiences live?
And what's the point of discussing what musical piece of crap goes before another?

Ok, I'm getting off of this thread...
 
Re: It's Bob Dylan's 70th Birthday

love hearing the covers of his beautiful songs, made me realise how bad his voice is
 
Re: It's Bob Dylan's 70th Birthday

:##:

^^^ And that, of course, is not The Byrds, doing Mr Tambourine Man

But here, at least, are the last two, surviving members of the group, Roger McGuinn and David Crosby (and some other guys, in 1990)…

Oh, yeah! Hilarious Bob Dylan Cover Number W/E…

Who asserted that these were the Byrds in # 34 (except the Youtube-member fpetrozz) ?


Obviously some medium gifted amateurs - about as talented in
making music as a certain Village Voice critic in writing & judging...

Every great artist with such an immense & creative output over the decades
like Bob Dylan has the right to deliver also some minor works once in a while.

As the above mentioned 'Lay, Lady, Lay' or 'Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You'.

Nice & harmonious weepies, without doubt. In terms of fatuity & narrowness
those lyrics have nearly no rivals in about 50 years of rock & songwriting history:

So I'm still wondering how they could have made it to the selection of the
best Dylan songs of all times from an so called expert critic... :^o

While the Them version of 'It's all over now, Baby Blue' is still
the most-noticed one - two other suitable variations of this
song: from the sixties Psychedelic Band 13th Floor Elevators,
and Eric Burdon's Animals...

Favorite Bob Dylan song?

Pick a song from the poll or specify which one you like in a comment.
 
Re: Favorite Bob Dylan song?

Have his hit's from very early on---Positively 4th St---is a person fav. I live a block away from it.:p
 
Bob Dylan is a legend! Most people in my generation (I'm 24) don't even know who Bob Dylan is. So sad considering that he might be on of the most prolific song writers in American history.
