Even though every last note of "Blood On The Tracks" has been etched in my brain for years, the album does nothing for me. Nor does "Desire." Instead, I would add "Highway 61 Revisited" to your list, and the wackiness and hard edge of "Planet Waves."

You're nuts. "Blood on the Tracks" is his best... imo, of course.

I owned "Blood on the Tracks" for many years. But everytime I played it, every line in "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts" made me wince. Same goes for "Idiot Wind." Maybe Bob's using too much metaphor? The short songs like "Meet Me in the Morning" and "Buckets of Rain" I have a little more tolerance for.

I realize that my distaste for "Blood on the Tracks" is bucking the tide and different from most other Dylan fanatics. Give me the "rock" Dylan who wears his 1950's influences on his sleeve, rather than the "contemplative" Dylan, who's marriage is falling apart around the time of "Blood on the Tracks."

Same reasoning for why I prefer Bruce's "Greetings" or "The Wild, the Innocent..." to "Tunnel of Love."

OK - here is the package i am sending. YGTRM, i might suggest you fill in the corners with iggy and VU and a few other dylan nibblets, but this is all i had time for late last night:

Dylan:
Freewheelin (+ starbuck's extra bonus track, emmit till)
Live 66 (disc 1 only - no time to burn disc 2)
Highway 61 Revisitied
Blood on the Tracks
Desire

Cash:
American Recordings I
American Recordings III: Solitary Man

VU:
The Velvet Underground

planet waves??? whose idea was that? we don't want to scare this boy off yet. great album, but you have to learn the letters before you can learn how to read.

i had no idea about iggy. i'm so sorry! i would have included "the stooges" and "raw power" had i known!

i confess - i don't like white light/white heat that much. sister ray is a great song, but about 13 minutes too long. it gives me a headache! and i would have include VU & Nico but i lost the damn CD! still have the case, however. anyone seen it?

let's not forget, TB is a virtual "american recordings" virgin as well. all of those albums are just as essential.

Yes, Iggy's girl is stunning. Her picture was in a Rolling Stone feature on the Iggster last year and I was knocked out. She's half Irish, half Nigerian. I bet if she turned around we would find her to be quite, er, what's that word again?

If TBS says that he doesn't have any MC5, NY Dolls, or Ramones...I think we're allowed to hang him, and then leak cell phone footage of it onto the internets.
