I have all of Ryan Adams' unreleased albums and Demolition, but it wouldn't have been a very fun list if everything was from the Pink Heart sessions on Demolition. However, I was very tempted to put Jesus (Don't Touch My Baby) on there.

 

As for Bruce, he has a huge catalogue and I've never actually heard of anyone that likes either of those albums. He doesn't play the songs live ever, and I'm only 20 years old, so I wasn't really aware of those releases when they came out. Some day I'll probably get them, but I doubt I'll listen to them very much.

luckytown is pretty good

 

not sure why you'd dismiss two records by your alleged favorite artist without hearing them

 

whatever

Yeah, I really don't understand where the dislike comes from for that song. It's absolutely beautiful.

 

Have to agree, one of the most beautiful melodies ever written. Hard to imagine someone liking "Anna" or "Octopuses Garden" or a few others better than that one.

"Day of the Locusts" is up in my top level of Dylan favorites and "If Dogs Run Free" is nothing short of a hoot. To each his own and all....

I love "Houses of the Holy" and "Fool in the Rain," too....

 

eek.

 

It's strange when some of your favorites end up on somebody elses least favorite list. Nobody girl and Enemy Fire are a couple favorites of mine from Ryan Adams for example.

 

Man, trying to pick Zep or Beatle songs I like the least is tough. I like everything by them.

5. There's Gold in them Hills

Grant Lee Phillps (Buffalo):

I love Feathers and My morning song!

 

I think I could have just picked any 5 songs from Warpaint or Lions for this list.
