This thread is starting to sound like the 'What is is with the Beatles' thread.

Congratulations for completely exagerrating the tone and content of what I said. Look through his supposed "dud" tracks - is he kidding? Some of those are amongst the best songs Dylan ever released. Also, as I said in my initial reply, start wherever you want with Dylan. This man completely writes off Self Portrait, which I think is a highly enjoyable album. Any artist with a discography that vast is going to have more than a few incarnations, and there are a plethora of potential starting places. The way he writes as though all non-Dylan fans should do it his way in order to get the full Dylan experience is idiotic, and (as the quote you took from me was in direct reference to the "dud" tracks) if people did it his way they'd miss out on some of Dylan's greatest tracks.

Wake up on the wrong side of the bed did we Xavy?

He is voicing his opinion! He's an idiot!

Oh, I think you're right! 🫢 The other albums he mentioned are apparently also movies, but the bottom of the barrel for Bob Dylan are regular studio albums as far as I know.

..anyway it's not about The Beatles, so it doesn't really matter. For the subject, I would've thought that "Highway 61" and "Blood on the Tracks" were better starters than "Bringing It All Back Home".

Anyways, I don't think that the way told on the site is good enough, mostly because I don't think there is a particular definitive way to get into him.

Also, I disagree with those who say he was a terrible singer. Maybe technically, but his voice just suits the music and the lyrics so well. Highway 61 Revisited has one of the best album-length vocal performances ever.

Listen to Nashville Skyline. He uses a totally different vocal style on that album. Use it as a gateway drug.

Wow that does sound totally different. Has a bit of a Kermit vibe going.

Almost...I would say by listening to other people cover his songs. Every Dylan cover I've ever heard I enjoy more than the original. The man is one of the greatest songwriters to ever live. But his voice is grating to say the very least.

His voice can grate cheese?

'Dylanophile' must be my least favorite word of the day. Also, most of the dud tracks are awesome

Songs decribed as "duds":

Dear Landlord
I Pity the Poor Immigrant
Shooting Star
Country Pie
The Man in Me
Pressing On
Meet Me In The Morning
Jack of Hearts
'Til I Fell In Love With You
Joey

The man is clearly not a Dylan fan. Just an idiot.
