Favorite Dylan album of the 60s?

Are you kidding? It's brilliant, his second best. His continued experimentation from the last two albums is great. I don't think there's any filler at all, there's so many great classics on the record. To quote Bill Wyman of the Stones: "Dylan swaggers, brags, sighs, loves, loses, smiles, grieves, pleads, lusts, swoons and trips — and that's just on 'Pledging My Time' and 'Visions of Johanna.'"

It's a tad overrated and probably my least favorite of his from the 60's next to his debut. I can definitely see it's appeal, though. I just don't like it as much as his other albums from that decade.

I have to be in a very specific mood to listen to it.

Same for me too; a few minutes after voting I thought, crap, Highway 61 Revisited can't be ignored, it probably should win just for 'Like a Rolling Stone' alone. I mean, they could substitute a defibrillator for a set of headphones with that song on repeat and you'd get the same result.

What would you consider filler? I admit side 3 has its weaker moments, but maybe the "dragging on" contributes to that atmosphere, you know, it enhances the mood you have to be in to listen to the album.

'Queen Jane Approximately' :wub: (edit: general statement, I know my Dylan tracklists)

Experimentation? Are you kidding me? He plays practically the same melody in every song. And he really needs to learn when to cut a song short. Really, even the best songs, I felt, were just dragged out for the sake of them being longer.

It's a decent album, Dylan's just done so much better.

Dylan rocks so much. He's got loads of amazing albums so it's pretty hard to choose, but I went with Freewheelin' cause Masters Of War is one of my top 5 favourite songs ever.

Another Side of Bob Dylan is perhaps one of the best albums I've heard the whole year... I love the library.

Another Side is actually 3rd on my list, only outdone by Highway and his self titled. It's an excellent rekkid.

I can't get over the fact that Neil Young wrote Cortez the Killer when he had diarrhea.

Shit, when I have diarrhea, the last thing on my mind is the fucking Aztecs.

True genius, that man.

Dylan is cool too, but he cannot write songs when he has diarrhea.
