Top five Dylan songs::

Scratchin a Letter

1.It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
2.It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)
3.All Along The Watchtower
4.Shelter From The Storm
5.Things Have Changed

Ridin The Wave

definitely one of those lists that chagnes by the day.....

right now through it's:

1. senor
2. don't think twice, it's alright
3. tangled up in blue
4. girl from the north country
5. subterranean homesick blues

three songs which were really difficult to cut from my list of 5:

1. lay lady lay
2. most of the time
3. i shall be released

two songs that he performs that i'm not so sure he wrote, but love his versions:

1. the boxer (which i think is a simon and garfunkel song originally)
2. man of constant sorrow (possibly his song, possibly the stanley brothers)

tough to narrow down five songs when he's written about 8 million of them.

According to itunes it is:

Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest
Not Dark Yet
I Shall Be Released
Cold Iron Bounds
Queen Jane Approximately

BetterManningNYG

when somebody has released 32 studio albums, it becomes very difficult to narrow everything down to five songs.

i'll give it a shot anyway, even though i'm sure my thought process will change entirely at some point within the next five minutes:

1) queen jane approximately
2) sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
3) don't think twice, it's all right
4) just like a woman
5) shooting star

deadmosquito

the times they are a-changin
blind willie mctell
like a rolling stone
a hard rain's a-gonna fall
my back pages


damn that is one difficult task.... i guess that's my top 5 as of this second.

off_the_record

this is virtually impossible, but i'll take a stab at it

1. stuck inside of mobile with the memphis blues again
2. ballad of a thin man
3. don't think twice its all right
4. all i really want to do
5. with god on our side

justam

He has so many great songs. I can't narrow it down to five. I just can't!

red mos

oh man, only 5 hmmm

In no particular order:
Positively 4rth street
Lay Lady Lay
Sarah
A hard rain's agonna fall
Tweeter and the monkeyman (It's one he wrote with wilbury's but it's a Dylan classic in my book!)

I'll go ahead and just do some honorable mentions cause this was so hard to do
Sad eyed lady of the lowlands
Bob dylans dream
My back Pages

You think "The Boxer" is originally a Simon and Garfunkel song?

Are you human?!? Who doesn't listen to S & G enough to know that?!?! :eek:



My top 5 Dylan right now..

orig_long red

1. Girl from the North Country
2. Seven Curses
3. Idiot Wind
4. Bob Dylan's Dream
5. Spanish Boots of Leather

SlowFade

wow......talk about hard choices, but if I had to pick....

1. Visions of Johanna
2. Love Minus Zero/No Limit
3. The Wicked Messenger
4. Tangled up in Blue
5. Ballad of a Thin Man

hippiemom

I'd have a hard time picking a Top 50, much less a top 5, but here's the first 5 to pop into my head ...

1. Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands
2. Visions of Johanna
3. Chimes of Freedom
4. Idiot Wind
5. It's All Over Now, Baby Blue

StoneG82

1) Things have Changed
2) Idiot Wind
3) Lovesick
4) Desolation Row
5) Positively 4th Street

this changes almost daily.

I'm a huge fan of "Things have Changed", though. One of the greatest songs ever. Totally underrated. same deal for "Lovesick", and much of Time Out of Mind. At the end of the day, I think it's my favorite Dylan record.

Obviously me. I listen to their stuff, but I don't read liner notes or anything, so I wasn't sure who the original writer was.

Nice name by the way! (<--I'm being serious, even though it could come across as sarcastic!)

It changes constantly, but right now:

Mr Tambourine Man
It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
Knockin' On Heaven's Door
Tangled Up In Blue
Stuck Inside ...

Oh and my list has changed to everything on the "Rolling Thunder Revue" live album. Especially "Tonight i'll be staying here with you". Love the song even more now..
