I was named after this badass [img]http://glitterfromdross.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/bob-dylan.jpg[/img] If you don't know who Bob Dylan is then let me be frank. Bob Dylan was a musician most popular in the 60s and is known for his incredible use of symbolic meanings and lyrical messages. He has released 54 albums to the day, and is still recording! (Although most people don't really like his new stuff). All his albums are as followed: [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/2d8evn.png[/IMG] And Bob Dylan started the Beatles on pot [quote]It was Bob Dylan who turned The Beatles on to pot, on 28 August, 1964, during their first visit to New York. Dylan visited the English pop stars in their suite at the Delmonico hotel on Park Avenue and (Paul McCartney told Barry Miles) Ringo took Dylans' profferred reefer and - not knowing that pot etiquette dictates that the skinny joint be passed around - smoked the whole thing. From that day, any mention of 'high' or 'grass' or 'smoke' in a Beatles song - from With A Little Help From My Friends to A Day In The Life - is always intentional. Paul has described Got To Get You Into My Life, from Revolver, as "an ode to pot". The Fab Four were all puffing away, night and day, by the time they came to make Help at the height of Beatlemania during the Summer of 1965. By then, according to John Lennon: "The Beatles had gone beyond comprehension. We were smoking marijuana for breakfast. We were well into marijuana and nobody could communicate with us, because we were just glazed eyes, giggling all the time." In October, 1965, The Beatles were invested by the Queen as Members of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire and calmed their nerves by sharing a furtive joint in the mahogany-lined washroom at Buckingham Palace, before receiving their medals from Her Majesty. Or so John Lennon claimed in an interview in 1970; George Harrison's more recently revealed memory, is that, actually, it was a straight cigarette. Harold Wilson, the Labour Prime Minister responsible for rewarding John, George, Paul and Ringo for tipping the balance of trade, may have embraced The Beatles - or tried to cash in on their popularity - but it quickly became apparent that the British Establishment did not take kindly to long haired, gaudily-garbed pop stars who smoked pot.

Favorite album?
Favourite album is Blood On The Tracks - that's as a whole though. My favourite individual song is Mr. Tambourine Man. Or Hurricane.
[QUOTE=dirty harry;22707507] Mr. Tambourine Man. [/QUOTE] Wasn't that done by The Byrds?
If a new movie about Dylan was made, Andy Samberg looks just like him. [img]http://jeffreysnodgrass.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/andy-samberg-2006-mtv-movie-awards-arrivals-uprntu1.jpg[/img]
Genius.... My favourite album of his is surprisingly enough one of his newer ones.. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/71/Moderntimes,Bobdylan.jpg[/img] He had a confused period in the 80s, its quite sad actually.. but his music in those days was still reminiscent of his greater days. He is old.. but his musician-ship is at his greatest RIGHT now, thats my opinion His 60s stuff is absolutely timeless.. he had some really nice stuff in the 70s too, Basement Tapes were released.. New Morning, Blood on the Tracks Great stuff :v: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzoKhYrZt2U[/media]
[QUOTE=Siminov;22707524]Wasn't that done by The Byrds?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Tambourine_Man]"Mr. Tambourine Man" is a song written and performed by Bob Dylan and featured on his 1965 album Bringing It All Back Home, produced by Tom Wilson (see 1965 in music). The Byrds also recorded a version that was their first single on Columbia Records and the title track of their first album, and which reached #1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the UK Singles Chart.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Siminov;22707524]Wasn't that done by The Byrds?[/QUOTE] No but they did a nice cover. [editline]08:59PM[/editline] I can't believe this thread doesn't have more replies.
Not many of the younger generation are true dylan fans... Pretty ridiculous but hey no point complaining, we aint missing out on anything :smug:
Highway 61 Revisited is probably my favourite album of all time. Hell, it's even one of my friends favourite albums and he only likes rap and modern pop. Blonde on Blonde is awesome too. The Pat Garret & Billy the Kid soundtrack is great as well, very relaxing music.
I was named after him also. But not Bob i was named Dylan because of him. I love his music he is a great artist.

Tangled Up in Blue has always been one of my favorite songs.
[QUOTE=Ant1;23154359]Tangled Up in Blue has always been one of my favorite songs.[/QUOTE] Good song
I'm gonna listen to the official "bootleg" recordings soon. Anyone else listened to them? They're supposed to be awesome. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67GPfhoV8yc[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkk2sEAs7Vo[/media]
[QUOTE=Akayz;24207320]I'm gonna listen to the official "bootleg" recordings soon. Anyone else listened to them? They're supposed to be awesome.[/QUOTE] Which ones you planning on getting? The only ones I don't have are the Rolling Thunder series and Tell Tale Signs.
Tell tale signs is fantastic, it is about his career in the past 20 years, but i plan on listening to the whole series
[QUOTE=Akayz;24218891]Tell tale signs is fantastic, it is about his career in the past 20 years, but i plan on listening to the whole series[/QUOTE] I'm still warming up to his more recent stuff, I really liked the stuff he did with The Band in the 60s and 70s so Rolling Thunder Revue will probably be the next bootleg I'm getting. You should find A Tree with Roots if you have the time (and patience for lo-fi), some great stuff on there he did with The Band that made up the Basement Tapes.
The Basement Tapes is amazing... Glorious times... I really love his newer stuff. Time Out of Mind, Modern Times, Love and Theft, all are fantastic. His voice has changed a lot but it doesn't make the music bad at all. He still has it in him, and that is what i get from his voice recently. Together Through Life is a breath of fresh air that was popular worldwide. It is an album i am listening to a lot more often.
My parents took us to a Bob Dylan concert at a baseball stadium. I had no fun, his song were long and boring, and a bunch of drunk 80 year old men kept screaming and shouting "WOOOOOOOOO! EEEEEE!" Worst concert experience of my life, excluding Hannah Montana... Screw you grandma. I didn't want to come with them. You could have saved money by not buying me a ticket.
Yeah, unless you're a big fan of his, his concerts aren't anything too special anymore.

Ask your grandmother's opinion on the concert rather than complaining about 'experiences'. It is like me going to a noise music concert, which i dont plan on doing. :psyduck:
New Album to be released in October. [img]http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/fead15361f91f9a6d5ceecd815fde45d/3071117.jpg[/img] The Bootleg Series Vol. 9: The Witmark Demos: 1962-1964 Gonna be AWESOME
