What's your favorite Bob Dylan song?

[SingsInFrench 262]

Hurricane is one, but it's hard to pick one favorite.

^great song, Hurricane gets my vote too.

[nurktwin 2,143]

I've always liked "Tangled Up In Blue", so that's #1 for me. But I also love a song Bob wrote and never recorded as far as I know. George Harrison later did about 4 or 5 different versions of the song and when Bob heard them, he asked George where or how he came up with that song. George replied, "you should know, you wrote it" and Bob didn't have a clue and never remembered writing it. After George covered it, so did The Nurktwins. The song is called "I Don't Want To Do It".

So hard to pick. Love "I Don't Want To Do It," but I'm going to go with song that Bob wrote and both George and Bob recorded: "If Not For You."

Here you go Rick, a rehearsal of the song you like. Seems like Bob forgot the music and lyics and waited for George to take the lead. Enjoy.

So hard to pick, but from a viewpoint of a flow of pure music, Visions of Johanna.

[Sweet Little Queen 242]

Blowing' In The Wind

[agirl 0]

"Knockin' on Heavens Door"

[Trishia4 28]

"Tangled Up and Blue"

[TomFest 576]

So many brilliant songs. How about "Like A Rolling Stone"? I always loved "Positively 4th Street". Of course the Heartbreakers covered "Rainy Day Women". Always a crowd pleaser. Or Jimi doing "All Along The Watchtower". Or the Byrds doing "Mr. Tambourine Man" or "My Back Pages". Yeah, that one. :-) And on and on.....

There are so many gems it's hard to pick one. I love Tangled Up In Blue, too. In fact I heard it

on the radio today!

That video is awesome, Benny!

"Blowin' In The Wind" and "The Times They Are A-Changin'"
