I have very odd musical tastes. How else to explain that my top 100 would include this:

Trb - mind's odd too - but I prefer to call it a 'depth of tastes' or an 'eclectic mix' lol

[The Red Baron]

Needless to say...

And dear old Les Gray on top form. Not sure about the dancing roadies and the guitarist in a dress.

Bob Dylan

"Girl from the North Country"

"Don't think Twice it's Alright"

"Ballad in Plain D"

Nobody wrote love songs like Dylan, because most of them were autobiographical, and referred to his doomed affair with the love of his life, Suze Rotolo, who's pictured with him on the famous "Freewheeling" album cover, walking down the street in Greenwich village.

Suze ended up marrying someone else, and is now sadly deceased. A tragic love story.

Good choices SS but I think Girl from the North Country is a reference to Echo his 1st girlfriend and to say Ballad in Plain D is a love song is pushing it a bit it'more of a rant against Suze sister Carla who detested Dylan.
My choices could be any of Dylans hundreds of songs but you are right many of his songs are about the women in his life and are usually the best along with his Finger pointing songs
Sad eyed Lady of the Lowlands
Grooms still waiting at the altar
Changing of the Guards

Oh and it's Freewheelin' - no g
I know, I know I'm a nerd when it comes to things Dylan

Thanks Raven, you're right with most of that, although to be fair, I did use the word "most", as I had reservations about "Girl from the North Country", realising that he was born and raised in Pennsylvania, and it might have been about someone from there.

Regarding "Ballad in Plain D", you're right about most of it being a rant about  sister Carla, but there was a lot of heart wrenching love in there as well, as that was the night when the relationship ended; "My mind it was mangled, I ran into the night, leaving all of love's ashes behind me".

If I've got any of the above words wrong mate, you'll have to correct me.

Where the f*ck have I got Pennsylvania from?; I must be losing my memory with old age. Mind you, that was a great header scored by King Alick 2 weeks ago at Barnsley.

Some wonderful,songs in this thread but amazed so far nothing mentioned by two of my favourite bands The Eagles and The Doors

I also like some older more folky bands like Steeleye Span, Pentangle and Steely Dan.

I still shiver at the memory of being driven in a VW Scirocco on a country road between Maastricht and Aachen at horrific speeds by a crazy German friend during a violent thunderstorm with ‘Riders on the Storm’ on at full volume.

[IDM]

That’s on my playlist too DU, the long version of course..

[Dutch Uncle]

I always think 'Riders on the Storm' would be fabulous music to play in the first Lord of the Rings film when teh hobbits are being chased through the forest by the Black Riders.

What a fantastic list that is, Dutch. Also, Donald Fagen's been great on his own, the "Nightfly" album in particular.

[The Red Baron]

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen is a superb album. Well worth a listen.

An example here.
