AWIMB Bob Dylan suggestions - WES's review

[World's End Stella]

If you want the seriously good stuff, I can give you that. I just assumed other people would do it.

I mean, Tangled Up in Blue is pretty good.

Please do although I was never a fan of Tangled Up in Blue.

I've got all the main ones, It's All Over Now, Baby Blue, Lay, Lady, Lay, A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall, It Aint Me Babe, All Along the Watchtower plus the obvious Rolling Stone, Times They are a Changing etc

I'm not really sure how one would go about not being a fan of Tangled Up In Blue, tbh.

I mean, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts aside, there isn't a bad song on the whole album, is there?

Yes. 'Idiot Wind' being the prime example of the Bobular Nasal Art.

Well, now that you mention it I may as well say that the problem here is thee notion of the playlist. Dylan should be enjoyed by the album, not some random selection. Blood on the Tracks, Desire, Highway 61, Bringing it all Back Home and most important of all, The Freewheeling Bob Dylan.

Playlists can go whistle. Obviously its fine to skip Lily, Rosemary and the JAck of Hearts.

In general or simply in relation to this artist / a single artist.

Bit too modern a concept for you Pedro?

It is a bit, yes. It was bad enough when CDs arrived and destroyed the notion of a song closing side 1 and opening side 2. Now you have people letting a piece of software choose random songs from an artist. It is obviously worse with someone like Dylan's who has a huge back catalogue but the principle itself is concerning.

Imagine leaping from Highway Patrolman to Glory Days. It is just several kinds of wrong.

Presumably you walk out of any concert when an artist doesn't play songs in album order then?

I went to see Blur a number of years ago... was when the "best of" had come out, they played the whole album in the order they appeared

Well that is a live show and therefore totally different. One expects an artist to create a set list that makes sense and creates an atmosphere. One also expects them to create versions of the songs that work in the set list.

Either way, it is the artist dictating the selection, not a machine.
