Wow! So what do you think of these albums? Do you love 'em? Hate 'em? And, also, why?

And what do you think of the fact they were dropped the same day? Pretty cool, right?

Oh and which is the greater album in your opinion?

Happy birthday to both, even though I've only heard Pet Sounds. Blonde On Blonde is a hard one to get tracks from on YT.

I strongly urge you to buy it.

Yeah, pet sounds is amazing, just outside my top 100. Whereas Blonde on blonde is a work of pure genius! In my top 15! Just classic after classic after classic!

This. Also buy it, because it's fantastic.

Anyway, I have to go with Pet Sounds. Blonde on Blonde is brilliant in its own right, but I think it does suffer from minor amounts of filler (not to mention too many fadeouts, which always bugs me).

Love it!! Obviously Pet Sounds is my preference, but Blonde on Blonde is definitely my favorite Dylan album (it's in my top 30... I think...)

What the fuck is this?!?!

"Visions of Johanna" alone is greater than any song on Pet Sounds. Okaaaayyyy, maybe "God Only Knows" and "Caroline No" come close... But "I Want You", "Stuck inside..." , "Visions" are all super über classics!

Blonde on Blonde is a 10 and so is Pet Sounds, ... But Blonde On Blonde is a better 10.

I'll abstain from voting because I haven't heard Blonde On Blonde (similar issue as JMan on this one)
but Pet Sounds is brilliant.

If I was able to get every track from Highway 61, which I will relisten to in the future, Imay find every one on YT despite the company allowing multiple tracks on YT or not.
