    there might be a good reason for that..

    see..

    the 80's were like the holocaust of rock music.

    i could write a fucking paper proving that, but just to put it in a nutshell..

    they tried to kill bob dylan (converted that little jewish boy to christianity even ;) )

    Then there's hair metal, shit-pop, etc etc etc.. im sure no one's gonna argue that..

    but anyway,.. 80's producers made those records of Bob's... meaning that it's likely that the best music of the sessions could be left off the records due to their lack of sense.

    actually that article goes into some sort of detail about how Bob would come in and play the song and the producers would get their little 80's posse together and (this part's in my words) try their best to ruin it.

    He's back though, no worries :)


    So you're from Winston-Salem? I was born and raised in Kernersville and just moved to Fort Myers in January. What a small world. Out of curiosity, where are you going to school?
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    You started well with getting the Essential Cd's..that's how I started off with it. I would say the best 2 CD's to start off with are

    Blonde on Blonde
    and
    Blood on the Tracks

    I managed to get a 3 pack with them and Time Out of Mind. Man, I was hearing BD for damn near 4 weeks.

    I love another side of bob dylan....His jesus album "slow train coming" is actually really good, and did win a grammy.

    Blonde on Blonde-thin mercury sound
    Highway 61-buy it..it contains desolation row which is the greatest song ever
    Freewheelin-Classic folk..changed the face of music
    Another side-anti-protest record
    Time they are a changing-protest record
    America...the greatest Country in the world.

    I know it's not many peopls's favorite. But I think "Street Legal" is also very brilliant.

    And I don't know how anyone can say Dylan did nothing in the 80's, I mean, as mentioned before, you've got Oh, Mercy, and you've got "Infidels" and you've got "Empire Burlesque." All three great in their own way
