The Greatest Hit 2.0 - 'blimey I haven't heard them for a while!'

They'll have been shiny happy people as they sold them to you, not realising it was the end of the world as you knew it. You'll have gone for a drive and asked yourself "what's this imitation of life?" Have turned around and made a stand in the shop. They'll have had a bad day in there and wondered if you paid with strange currencies.
There. Everyone else can fuck off with their puns. -

We all enjoy these pun trains. Now because of this, everybody hurts. -
This one could have been a Monster, too.

No I said I did it all

When you said that, I fear you may have misstiped. -
You're a monster

Bit of a Stumble there Reg, I already did that one. And it’s hardly The Worst Joke Ever.

Yay! I can be the miserable badger this week posting making sure everyone knows just how much I dislike him!

I've done this enough to know that my favourite Dylan track is pretty much locked:
Then I think I'd probably have Blind Willie McTell, the hugest inexplicably-omitted-from-an-album track ever. Bob on the piano, a metronome also on the piano and Knopf on acoustic guitar all busy bottling lightning, then presumably Knopf bottling it during the final track selection process for Infidels:
Third place goes to another rarity :eyes:, which Youtube isn't being so kind with - Seven Curses from The Bootleg Series 1-3.
So not greatest hit at all, just favourites, but that's pretty much how I've played both threads from the start. -

Enjoy! -
I could probably narrow my fave Dylan songs to 15 or so, but some obvious ones first:
"Plus he wore shorts like a total cunt" - Bob -
It's Summer Days off Love and Theft. Close the book

Hard agree, hence why my choice is this:

Always a fan of this one, probably/maybe not my decision but dropping anyway:

Motorpsyco Nightmare from another side of dylan.
Love that wee story.
In fact the whole of side b of that record is excellent, my back pages, I don't believe you, ballad in plain d and it ain't me babe.
Be difficult to pick out a favourite as too much to choose from.

I like Subterranean Homesick Blues. I’m a fan of Like a Rolling Stone. But there’s only one winner here, for me, and it’s The Times They Are a-Changin’.

+ The Best of the Official Bootlegs
The Bootleg Series Vol.1-3 (Rare & Unreleased 1961-1991) (favourite track: Blind Willie McTell. Seven Curses too, which completes my top three Bob along with Johanna and McTell)

A quick glance suggests I did Oh Mercy and Another Side the dirty. Rough & Rowdy Ways goes into the 5th tier with Murder Most Foul smashing any individual track he's recorded since Mississippi. -

Young Dylan looked like my old mate Neil, who was a bit of a wideboy knob and didn't release any music. Like Dylan.
Howdy, Stranger!
