well i think you should own everything by dylan (;)), but you're missing a few necessities:

freewheelin bob dylan
the times they are a changing
another side of bob dylan
john wesley harding
nashville skyline
love and theft

and get your hands on anything he did with the band.

Definitely get these. They're classics.
Also, I'd recommend:

The Basement Tapes
Oh Mercy
Love and Theft
"Royal Albert Hall" bootleg series vol.4
"Concert at Philharmonic" bootleg series vol.6

You have most of Neil's best work, but I'd also pick up:

Comes A Time
Live Rust
Freedom
Ragged Glory
Sleeps with Angels
Prarie Wind

Can't go wrong with Dylan and Neil.

Buy anything of Neil's and you won't be disappointed. Except maybe for the Shocking Pinks album and the Bluenotes album. And Trans takes a little while to get used to (because of the vocoder lyrics), but there are some great tracks on there.

Also, since you enjoy Harvest and Goldrush, get all the CSNY stuff as well. Oh, and Buffalo Springfield. 60's pop, but a million times better than the Beatles.

Bob's pretty much the same. Get it all, except for that weird gospel style phase he went through.

Dylan- Freewheelin Bob Dylan

It is one of my favorites and has classics like masters of war and blowin in the wind.

Young-
Rust Never Sleeps
Comes A Time
Sleeps With Angels

He has many other great albums such as Ragged Glory but i did not want to bombard you with too many. Rust Never Sleeps is worth owning just to thear Thrashers alone. one of my favorite neil songs.

lampshade27 · May 2007

One of my favourite Bob Dylan albums is Planet Waves. The Band back him up and it's quite good. They did it right before the 'Flood' tour and you love that one, so I'd check this out.

daanarts · May 2007

my favourite Dylan records at the moment are Infidels and Street Legal... its not for everyone i know. but i love it.
If u want songs in particular to look for. Infidels- I and I.. and Street legal. .and no pay attention.. Where are you tonight. This song is a lost masterpiece that will drive any music lovin man out of his mind! absolutely brilliant song in the way Like a Rolling Stone is..its kinda similar

laudenum · May 2007

a cool disc by uncle neil is the dead man soundtrack. lots of feedback.
very melodic. depp reads a bit on it. and other short monologes from the movie.
pretty cool

p.s. definitely get Neil Young - the album can be a bit slow, but 2 tracks really stand out - The Loner and I've Been Waiting for You (aka. the stalker song). To this day the latter is one of my favourite NY tracks. Just listen to that stereo guitar solo - amazing. Almost as good as the piano in When You Dance (Jack Nitzsche, by the way)...

you are missing 3 major must have Neil albums:

1. Rust Never Sleeps (imo, his single greatest album. "Hey Hey, My My" and "Thrasher" are 2 of the greatest songs ever written.)

2. Live Rust (great, but probably not as good as Weld)

3. Freedom (2 versions of RITFW and the great tune "Too Far Gone" and an alternate version of another great song "Crime in the City")

other than Unplugged, I have not been a huge fan of Neil's stuff after Freedom, though I do like the song "Big Time" off Mirrorball.

also, you should get the double best-of album called "Decade" which has some of Neil's best CSNY songs.

Big Time is off Broken Arrow, not Mirrorball. You are right that it's a great tune though.

You don't dig Ragged Glory? Even with all the older tunes on there (Country Home, White Line, ect)? I dunno, I'll always take Crazy Horse over the faux Crazy Horse of the Restless.

I love the Last Trip to Tulsa. To me that is the money track on that album. An album that is generally not talked about much at all by most fans so good call on bringing that one up.

pdh1978 · May 2007

Yeah, Last Trip is a nice little ditty too.

I just got a copy of Chrome Dreams the other day and also the whole 6 volume (12 disc) set 'A Perfect Echo', which chronicles his live performances from the 60's to the 00's. Can't wait to have a listen to them.
