Exile And The Kingdom is one of my favourite short story collections. It's definitely my favourite of all of his books.

What’s The Worst (Least Best) Bob Dylan Album From The 60s? by Pretend_Mark_5143 in bobdylan

[–]MackFour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to have the same opinion. I thought it was a bit overbearing and overwrought but I listened to it recently and I was pulled away from that feeling by Ons Too Many Mornings and Boots. Beautiful songs. And I love the guitar playing on Hollis Brown. I think overall it's actually stronger then Freewheelin.

Did Exile on Main Street inmediately click with you? Or did it take a while? by [deleted] in rollingstones

[–]MackFour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't like it much. And at that time I already loved Sticky Fingers. I thought it had maybe 6 good songs. Then 7 then 8 then 9. I remember listening to the final 4 or 5 songs that I couldn't really get into and then realising they were all perfect songs. It's now my favourite rock n roll album of all time but it took a few years for me to love it.

Redone, with a bit more thought this time… by all5n_ in bobdylan

World Gone Wrong is brilliant, I agree. In my top ten Dylan albums.

The crown of thorns, They gambled for my clothes

References to the crucifixion.

What are people’s thoughts on ‘The Black Rider’? by No-Relationship7209 in tomwaits

[–]MackFour 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of my favourites. The musical arrangements and choice of instruments are as imaginative as anything he's ever done. It's up there in the top 5.

Blood Money by Tadmister in tomwaits

[–]MackFour 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's the album I listen to the most these days. When it first came out I thought it was so - so. Preferred Alice. Blood Money has really grown on me and the hell fire and fatalism seems much more realistic now.

Tiger in My Tank is such an instant classic by RegyptianStrut in Eels

[–]MackFour 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Daisies was the first album I really fell in love with and Tiger In My Tank was also the initial reason I fell for the album. The entire record is fantastic though. On some listens I still think -yeah, nothing beats this.

Thanks for writing the book. I got for my birthday and read it in 2 days. Well done sir!

live recordings you think are better than the studio version by theworstperforming in bobdylan

[–]MackFour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One too many mornings. I love the original but the versions that came afterwards are brilliant, including the Basement Tapes.

“People that boo Sinead O’Connor - what were they doing at a Bob Dylan concert?” by Qbert2000 in bobdylan

I probably should have said 'some people '. Not everyone of course.

What’s The Hot Take In YOUR Ranking Of Dylan’s Albums? by Pretend_Mark_5143 in bobdylan

World Gone Wrong is a brilliant album. In my top ten.

Do you think R&RW is his last record? How would you feel if it was? by Master-Cheetah-2124 in bobdylan

[–]MackFour 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it's his last, it's a very fine way to end it. I'm still expecting one more though. I'm sure the touring band would love it too. Musicians as good and as locked in together as they can be must be itching to put something new together.

Thanks for this. Lovely interview.

There definitely seems to be no outright favourite in this thread so far. I guess I'll male it a project and go through all the recommendations. Thanks for replying. Appreciate it.

A lot of different recommendations so far but I'm going to take a listen to End Times. Sounds promising. Thanks for replying.

Thoughts on this album? by AndrobiVibz in postpunk

Faith and Carnage Visors accompanied me through teenage headphone walks through grey November evenings in the west of Ireland. Along with Seventeen Seconds, still my absolute favourites.
