Are there any others?<br /><br />Don't start with a best of. Get Blood on the Tracks, Desire, Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde, or Freewheelin'. They've all got loads of famous songs on them.<br /><br />My favourite is probably the Basement Tapes. Next week it might be Love and Theft though.<br /><br />anonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652993327243709277.post-49163323591258536702010-04-28T03:45:54.637+09:302010-04-28T03:45:54.637+09:30Hwy 61 is a pretty accessible album.

Depending on your taste in music buy first from the 1960s if you are into the mellow thing. <br /><br />I could go on but there is so much great stuff to cover that I'm overwhelmed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652993327243709277.post-15823345875573354172010-04-27T23:34:59.243+09:302010-04-27T23:34:59.243+09:30i remember being interested in dylan in early high...i remember being interested in dylan in early high school... i went to the record store (already dating myself). Comparing the various Dylan disks they had, I looked at the track listing and saw a ton of great songs on self portrait...so, it seemed like a great place to start! It was quite a while until I was ready to give old Bob another try... but very glad I did!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652993327243709277.post-26378811621872475082010-04-27T23:25:03.055+09:302010-04-27T23:25:03.055+09:30The one that really turned me on to Dylan (around ...The one that really turned me on to Dylan (around 1974) was the UK double album 'More Bob Dylan Greatest Hits'. So many stunning tracks that I had never heard before, and such variety. And later when I began to drift away following Under The Red Sky, etc., it was 'The Bootleg Series Vols. 1 to 3' that recaptivated my heart with its even more astonishing quantity and range of great songs and performances.Brendan Barryhttp://homepage.eircom.net/~brendanbarry/dylancovers/index.htmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652993327243709277.post-9492948526446199542010-04-27T18:11:22.661+09:302010-04-27T18:11:22.661+09:30Blonde on Blonde is my favorite album of all time,...Blonde on Blonde is my favorite album of all time, amazing writing and when it's over I'm left wondering where the time went and wanting more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652993327243709277.post-5314792673507651032010-04-27T16:35:02.254+09:302010-04-27T16:35:02.254+09:30my first Dylan album was Blonde on Blonde, after I...my first Dylan album was Blonde on Blonde, after I heard that I was addicted!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
