I wanna get into him I only know the times are a changing song and love it

Are you interested in just songs or albums too?

I wanna start with songs but I’m open to albums too

Let me give you a list of Bob Dylan albums you should check out for sure cuz he got a lot and a few of them are not it.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
The Times They Are a-Changin'
Another Side of Bob Dylan
Bringing It All Back Home
Highway 61 Revisited
Blonde on Blonde
Blood On The Tracks
Desire
Infidels
Oh Mercy
Time Out of Mind
Love and Theft
Tempest

not a fan of john wesley harding?

Good album but his prime imo was from Freewheelin-Blonde On Blonde. Would you consider it essential listening?

Listen to Lennon b****

not essential but if i was giving as big of a list as you id include it

op just asked for songs but the most "classic" is definitely

Freewheelin
Bringing It All Back Home
Highway 61
Blonde on Blonde
Blood on the tracks

oh bye bye miss american pie 🎶

You're right. As a fan of Dylan though, I want someone who really wants to get into Dylan more to listen to more then just his prime and Blood On The Tracks. Because Oh Mercy, Time Out Of Mind and Love & Theft are all great late career albums.

i havent heard Oh Mercy yet, gotta peep somewhat soon

You’re missing out
Political World one of his best post ‘70s tracks

These are some of my personal favorites! Hope you enjoy @op getting into Dylan is a very rewarding experience fr

Some of my favourite songs are Hurricane, Lay Lady Lay, Tangled Up in Blue, Let Me Die in my Footsteps, Just Like a Woman, Simple Twist of Fate, Mama You Been On My Mind, Don't Think Twice It's Alright, I Shall Be Released, Knockin On Heaven's Door, Like a Rolling Stone, It's Alright Ma I'm Only Bleeding, Desolation Row, All Over Now Baby Blue, With God on Our Side, Queen Jane Aproximately, All Along the Watchtower, Tomorrow is a Long Time, Ballad of a Thin Man, Shelter From the Storm, Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands, You're a Big Girl Now, Not Dark Yet.

And that's still leaving so many out

Blood on the Tracks, Highway 61 Revisited and Bringing it all Back Home are the best three albums to hear first imo.

it doesn't include a lot of the things that make Bob great but at the same time it's totally a classic album.

His deep cuts are just as good as his essentials

But essentials are:

Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright
Simple Twist of Fate
Mr. Tambourine Man
Idiot Wind
It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue
Tangled Up in Blue

lmao

Man. His discography is so amazing

aight @op youre in for a real good treat but boy oh boy its p much impossible to pinpoint all of the essentials from him

to me, this track is the easiest entry point into Dylan's music. after six-minute singles, after songs about war and politics he had a phase of relatively easy-going country tunes that were both profound and musically amazing. this is one of the more popular ones, primarily because of its use in The Big Lebowski. I'd suggest going easy because his discography is to say the least vast

can't go wrong with this one, a very popular song and really just goes to show how masterful he is at making hits

and here's one not on any albums but I think it captures that sardonic and humorous side of Dylan very well. also a good entry point into his earlier stuff musically speaking

let me know what you think

missing out big time, one of the best-sounding albums from him for sure
