    Is blowin in the wind...

    Some people hate him but hes arguably one of the greatest song writers of our generation...

    What's Bob Dylan's best song?

    My personal favourite is Changing of the Guards...

    What I'm interested in now is seeing a bunch of women cooking, sleeves rolled up, butter going everywhere, these chicks are kneading dough, tossing pancakes, there is flour, ghee, star anise, some chick just doing jam and potting it with disks of grease proof paper with sticky fingers and they all have different shades of lipstick and biggish asses, and they are like laughing, and some other one is baking a sponge, **** **** **** **** **** **** **** plenty of counter space, very pretty clothes, damn damn damn damn

    Ballad of a thin man and just like Tom Thumbs blues are 2 of my favourites.

    Lay Lady Lay is a more popular one. Has always been a favourite of mine.

    Best set of lyrics to ever be written


  • Registered Users Posts: 555 ✭✭✭JeffreyEpspeen


    I Want You, Jokerman and Not Dark Yet are good tunes.

    Well obviously it's Must Be Santa

    And how could I forget Sara!

    So easy to look at, so hard to define...

    He also mentions another great song within that song...

    'Writin' "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" for you.'


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,840 ✭✭✭✭Rothko


    Dark Eyes is a very underrated song of his too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,104 ✭✭✭piplip87


    Masters of war for me. I think it's sobering and lyrically one of the greatest songs ever written. Like many Dylan songs however I prefer a cover.

    Eddie Vedder's version is brilliant.

    The new one "A murder most foul", is excellent lyrically, not the best singer though.

    Not a great singer tbf but people like his voice anyway...

    I heard Things Have Changed for the first time a few days ago and have it on repeat since. I’ve never listened to him much, his delivery is very interesting, he puts emphasis on odd syllables which gives the tunes an unpredictable feel. Cool lyrics too.
