[Music] Pick one song by Bob Dylan.

[Del Fenner]

And in a bid to go back upmarket after the spoof record thread, let's hear it for your top number from the acid pen of Robert Zimmerman.

Feel free to also nominate your favourite performed by another artist.

 

[Bladders]

Lily, Rosemary & The Jack of Hearts

 

[Tom Bombadil]

 

[1234andcounting]

Hurricane - maybe

But probably Like A Rolling Stone as it is one of the great songs of all time.

 

[Surf's Up]

Visions of Johanna

 

[Ali_rrr]

It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding).

 

[keaton]

Positively 4th Street

 

[catfish]

Lily, Rosemary & The Jack of Hearts

You beat me to it.

 

[Don Quixote]

Desolation Row

 

[Daffy Duck]

The Times they are a'Changing. My all-time Dylan favourite.

If I could choose a second, it would be Make You feel My Love.

 

[studio150]

Very much depends on whether the song is a Dylan track, or a Dylan song covered by others. While the songs may be good, personally have never got on with Dylan's voice, and believe covers are better (in most cases).

If Dylan - Hurricane

or

Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower

This version of 'I Shall be Released' - http://vimeo.com/27547430

I prefer the lyrics compared to the other version you'll find on compilations etc.

 

[spring hall convert]

Isis

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

You're a big girl now

 

[No. 25]

Sad eyed lady of the lowlands

Closely followed by Tangled up in blue or Idiot wind

 

[Nitram]

Tangled up in blue

 

[Gulls and Rooks]

Idiot Wind

 

[Stato]

I have to agree with Don Quixote.

Whilst Desolation Row has taken a long while to work its way up to the top of my list gradually passing more obvious choices like 'The Lonesome Death of Hattie Caroll', 'Like A Rolling Stone', 'Subterranean Homesick Blues', & 'My Back Pages', now it has caught my imagination, it won't let go and just fascinates me every time I hear it. Not many songs get websites dedicated to them:
