I just came across this list of Bob Dylan’s “30 Greatest Songs” that The Telegraph in England published in 2013.
Do I agree with this list. Of course not. I bet you don’t either.
The list does includes some songs that are on my own list including “Visions Of Johanna” and “Subterranean Homesick Blues” and “I Shall Be Released.”
But “Make You Feel My Love”? Yeah I know Billy Joel covered it (if we were in the same room you’d read the sarcasm in my voice) but come on!
Anyway, check it out and see what you think.
Here are a few of their picks.
“Visions Of Johanna”:
“Ain’t Talkin'”:
“Subterranean Homesick Blues”:
“Cold Irons Bound”:
“Ballad Of A Thin Man”:
“Shelter From The Storm”:
“I Shall Be Released”:
“Blind Willie McTell”:
“You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go”:
“Scarlet Town”:
“Masters Of War”:
