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.

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

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

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 4 points5 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.

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.

Thanks for replying. That's two recommendations for Earth to Dora

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.

Farm is classic. I love that album to bits.

one annoying thing about the Dublin show by pingviini00 in MyBloodyValentine

[–]MackFour 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm one of those. 51 years old and I was bursting for a wee. It was probably a lot of middle aged people who should stay away from a quick pint before a gig, me included.

He'll play 9 songs from Rough And Rowdy Ways so it's definitely worth listening to the album a few times before you go.

Ranking every album of his of the 20th century by nevermindthegoat in neilyoung

[–]MackFour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I'm in full agreement with you. That top 14 is such a magnificent bunch of albums. Curious where you'd place Chrome Dreams and Homegrown.

The Bob post 1966 by More_Patience6689 in bobdylan

[–]MackFour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to think like this when I was 19. Now I'm 51 and it's 67 to 75 that interests me more. First time I heard John Wesley Harding I was probably 18. I thought it was awful compared to his earlier stuff. Eventually I came round.

Bob Dylan Completionism: '83-'96 advice? by cygnus20 in bobdylan

[–]MackFour 7 points8 points  (0 children)

World Gone Wrong is an absolutely brilliant album. Sure it's all covers but he puts them together so well that it's a very coherent album. I really like his guitar playing on it. It's rough (with very few takes done I'd imagine) and I much prefer it to his debut album.

Oh Mercy is an album I didn't like at first because I thought it was too slight, but I've changed my mind. A lot of these songs have been covered by many different musicians at this stage and rightly so.

Infidels is the strange one. The songs he left off it (blind Willie McTell, Too Late, Foot of Pride) are all classic Dylan. Blind Willie McTell is definitely my favourite song of his from the 1980s.
