Buy Dylan new addition to the Bootleg series...Voulme 8. This guy has more bootleg albums than people have actual albums...crazy.
Wow. A seriously impressive list. "Hurricane" over a lot of other near-classic material is a ballsy choice. "Ballad of a Thin Man" might be #1 in my head. Great compilation, though.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed with your list. One quibble, though: Wedding Song ahead of Like A Rolling Stone?
ReplyDeleteHey there! Nice list. I recently made a similar list at my blog. I'll have to check more closely to see where we overlap.
