jc4prez Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Yep - I was PiassonDoctor there and on a couple of other Dylan sites. I was on the pool as well, so was Froggie. I was on the Oh Shit! Not another Dylan Tribute record too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree is amazing the way Dylan has incorporated all these sources, I just think Modern Times is extremely lazy in comparison to Love And Theft. Modern Times has a few tracks with lyrics that just make my face contort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Modern Times has a few tracks with lyrics that just make my face contort. maybe bob's just getting old? (age wise, not old as in, you tire of his music and catalogue it away on the shelf to collect dust) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jc4prez Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 maybe bob's just getting old? (age wise, not old as in, you tire of his music and catalogue it away on the shelf to collect dust) I got ya. Possibly. That track from Lucky You was even worse then anything on Modern Times. I think he still has another good album in (if not great) I just think he needs to find a new band and probably go into the studio with some other creative people.

nettles Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 oh and New Morning's been gettin some spins, and coincidently enough after I made my first post here this morning, my friend texted me he has an Extra vinyl copy of 'Planet Waves' for me, bonus! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 It's pretty close for me, between Freewheeling, Blood On the Tracks, and Nashville Skyline, but in the end...Nashville Skylinewins out, just for the sheer fun of it. As brilliant as all those albums are, my choice is the only one that really makes me smile outright.I am so happy to find someone else who says Nashville Skyline is their favourite. I love it and it's country-rock goodness.For me it's1) Nashville Skyline2) Blonde on Blonde3) Freewheelin4) The rest of his pre-electric albums in chronological order Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Head in a Guillotine Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Normally I wouldn't reply to a statement like this since everyone can have an opinion but since I'm causing you physical discomfort already I'd figured I might as well easy the pain with an explantation........ Its because Modern Times is one of the most forgettable records Dylan's ever released. Just because Rolling Stone gave it a good write up doesn't make it a classic. Sure Dylan is going to talk about the album and the shite band he is touring with, he is a businessman (see the commercials). He's just making sure you buy the next one (as if we all wouldn't anyway)..... Love and Theft was cleaver, Modern Times is mostly just plain lazy. Find one song one Modern Times comparable to anything on Brining It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisted, Blonde On Blonde, Blood On The Tracks, or Time Out Of Mind. Workingman's Blues #2 is comparable to Dylan's songs on those records IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 You should.I know! I could name at least 20 Dylan albums I own/love but for some reason that one's sneaked by me all this time. I'll get it soon - I've wanted it more since reading Levon Helm's book recently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
