    no dylan top ten list is complete without tangled up in blue.

    honorable mention: "shelter from the storm" and "it ain;t me babe"
    I don't want to be hostile. I don't want to be dismal. But I don't want to rot in an apathetic existance either.

    Tough one. I love Dylan, but I'm not as familiar with his entire catalog as I am with Zep's. I'll give it a shot though.

    All Along the Watchtower - this is such a good song, that it sounds great almost no matter who does it.

    Tangled Up In Blue

    Like a Rolling Stone - obvious choice, but obvious for a reason - it's just one of the best songs ever

    Ballad of a Thin Man

    I Shall Be Released

    Visions of Johanna

    It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding

    Masters of War

    Love Sick

    Hurricane
