I can see where his voice can be irritating at times, but as a lyricist he's hard to beat.  Definitely have to be in a Dylan mood to listen to him.  I've seen him live a number of times, some good, some not-so-good.  My personal faves are "Blood On The Tracks" and "John Wesley Harding".

I hear ya, you either like his voice or you don't. I like it. And of course his lyrics are beyond compare. You have to be 'in the mood' to hear a lot of things..certainly not just Dylan. I've only seen him once, it wasn't bad at all. He was drunk off his ass by the end of the set (opening for the dead) and rocked.

"Blood on the Tracks" is a fucking great album in the true sense of being a cohesive album. I love the original recording of "All Along the Watchtower" (from John Wesley Harding) just as much or more than Hendrix's rendition of the same song. There are so many great songs by him on most of his other albums that it's hard to know where to begin...and OMFG "Hard Rain" is one of his greatest live albums!

Check out Before The Flood, his live album with The Band backing him up, it's great, I think his best live release......I've heard that he was gonna release some live stuff from the Rolling Thunder Revue, the live version of "Isis" from that tour is sick.....I heard Mick Ronson (Bowie's guitarist from circa Ziggy Stardust-era) was in the band for that tour.

Subways--"Rock & Roll Queen"

Saw Flaming Lips on Letterman last night.  I liked them much better when they were a drug-damaged punk band, not a bunch of whimsical art fag rockers.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth (1988)...sonically tight and kinda all over the place at times, it's easily their best rock album. Steve Shelly's drumming (during the good portions) make drum "gods" like Neil Peart envious. Upbeat and innvotive as well as tight. Nirvana owed something to certain riffs from it. My favorites on there are Teenage Riot, Silver Rocket, The Sprawl, Eric's Trip, Total Trash (until it starts meandering for 5 minutes..) Rain King, and Kissability.

Yeah that's a great one, considered by many of their fams to be their "psychedelic album".  I like Sister a little better, I think it's a little more concise, but it's more of a collection of songs than "Daydream Nation", which I think has kind of an undercurrent running through the whole album.

Yeah, Sister is just as good if not better! Good and raw and damned good. Speaking of psychedelic albums by them, there's one that I heard that was really cool and over the top that way. Whatever one that was I'd have to say would be way higher on the psychedelic meter than Daydream Nation would be in its wildest daydreams. Damn...i don't recall the title of it though..it was perhaps an ep and i don't think there were vox on any of it....

How weird, I was just listening to Daydream Nation yesterday. We must be in synch.

I like that album. I think that and Goo are their strongest. But my personal favorite is Confusion is Sex, cause that was before they knew how to play their instruments.

Could that possibly be the one you can't remember the name of? I think it was their first album. It has an excellent cover of "I wanna be your dog" on it.

I like that one a lot too but no, that's not the one. This one came out on the later side & there were no vocals on it..or at least very minimal vox..
