Lunchtime Poll: In Which You Are Bob Dylan

12/18/06, 11:49 am EST

Bob Dylan Heathers

You are Bob Dylan. You just realized that you have the ability to time travel and alter history. You didn’t know this before because you were too busy being a genius. But after listening to all your studio albums (while gardening) you decide that one of them sticks out as less than … good. Which one do you go back and remove from the universe (and eBay)?

3 chords and incoherent babble is not music…learn the instrument

bob dylan’s guitar playing makes me want to run into oncoming traffic

gw-to | 12/18/2006, 12:24 pm EST

not really as ga-ga over the new one as some folks (like RS) are (too many lazy blues shuffles) but one that can go would have to be… I’ll get back to you on that one.

Whalespoon | 12/18/2006, 12:38 pm EST

Dylan and the Dead, Down in the Groove, Dylan, Live at Budokan, Empire Burlesque–in that order.

Oddjob | 12/18/2006, 12:57 pm EST

I don’t think Bob would ever bother un-releasing an album… except maybe “Dylan” which he never authorized in the first place

dexter | 12/18/2006, 1:03 pm EST

bob dylan is the gayest man of all time

Jerry Cramer | 12/18/2006, 1:05 pm EST

i’d remove all of them, because I just found out I can’t sing a note on key, I can’t believe I was actually in the studio recording this shit! I should just write and sell the songs to someone who can carry a tune…..

sam | 12/18/2006, 1:06 pm EST

bob dylan is as straight as a circle

bob dylan | 12/18/2006, 1:07 pm EST

i am not gay i am just experimenting

Scenic Anemia | 12/18/2006, 1:10 pm EST

“Bringing It All Back Home”, “Highway 61 Revisited” or “The Freewheeling Bob Dylan”…just to be funny about it.

Big Bob | 12/18/2006, 1:25 pm EST

EMPIRE BURLESQUE

J | 12/18/2006, 1:40 pm EST

I know this isn’t the point of the game, but I’d convince U2 not to release Pop. Then, me and Bono and the boys would create the greatest collaboration album of all time.

Jab | 12/18/2006, 1:44 pm EST

i am gay, but u2 is the gayest band ever……….i hope you die of aids………..

adam | 12/18/2006, 2:26 pm EST

dylan or self portrait or mayb all his 80’s albums except infedels

what is gay about bob dylan?

The Grubby 1 | 12/18/2006, 2:55 pm EST

I havnt heard any bad dylan albums….ive heard OF them…

Buster C | 12/18/2006, 2:57 pm EST

The Basement Tapes should have remained bootleg

Dave | 12/18/2006, 3:06 pm EST

Well I would remove “saved”….or “Dylan” Or “Self Portrait”….but “saved” is the worst of the worst…I don’t knock anybodys beliefs but talk about just beaten over the head with religion and boring….sorry bob…the tour was good for that record….the record sucked

paul | 12/18/2006, 3:11 pm EST

everything between blood on the tracks and time out of mind

JonWithnal | 12/18/2006, 3:17 pm EST

Probably any record that rolling stone gave a good review – a completely uncool illiterate bunch of nerds at a magazine owned by a white trash dwarf. Bob is great, however.

paul | 12/18/2006, 3:37 pm EST

Empire Burlesque

jill hives | 12/18/2006, 4:02 pm EST

i’ve heard ‘dylan & the dead’ and, except for slow train coming, it’s pretty bad. but part of dylan’s charm is that he’s a warts & all kind of character – he doesn’t look back, so to speak, so i say leave them all as they are.

M | 12/18/2006, 4:13 pm EST

Dylan

N | 12/18/2006, 5:01 pm EST

Wow some of you people are just not right

b-rett | 12/18/2006, 5:14 pm EST

“Infidels”
The Gospel Records
Haven’t heard “Dylan” but that’s supposed to blow.
“Self Portrait” is underrated and “John Wesley Harding” is overrated.

ken vail jr. | 12/18/2006, 5:21 pm EST

I don’t know-they all have a few good tunes on them. I think ‘knocked out loaded’ has a few gems on it, and everyone says how bad that lp is….

james | 12/18/2006, 6:41 pm EST

another side of bob dylan
it’s got some good songs on it
but those coulda remained stored until some gretest hits or rarities record.

Theodor Herzl | 12/18/2006, 7:14 pm EST

all of them! Just kiddddddddddding,Dylan is a genius who has more than compensated for any crappy records with utter perfection on alllllllllllllllllllll the restt,he need not erase any mistakes, they show heeeees ‘uman

Seamus Donnelly | 12/18/2006, 7:42 pm EST

slow train coming

Do some actual fucking reporting.

Leslie | 12/18/2006, 8:35 pm EST

“Dylan”

auramac | 12/18/2006, 9:38 pm EST

Stupid question. He’s got everything he needs, he’s an artist- he don’t look back.

ken vail jr. | 12/18/2006, 10:15 pm EST

wow…i love INFIDELS…that’s the first album, oddly enough, that i ever heard of BOB…there’s some amazing lyrics on that song JOKERMAN.

Elliott Marx | 12/18/2006, 10:55 pm EST

Consolidate the 3 zealous Christian albums into 1 concise gospel masterpiece. Save Down in the Groove and As Good As I Been To You tracks for Bootleg Series, ditto for Brownsville Girl.

Sam | 12/18/2006, 11:47 pm EST

There are no total bad dylan albums. Anyone who says that is not a true Dylan fan. Yes, Slow Train Coming was a far cry from Highway 61 or Bringing It All Back Home, but the lyrics on tracks ‘Slow Train Coming’ & ‘When You Gonna Wake Up’ are totally relevant. Dylan needs no advice from anyone, he just happens to be the greatest songwriter in history, don’t forget.

STRATCAT | 12/19/2006, 12:22 am EST

Knocked out and loaded is great for when i need to take a healthy powerful dump.
For some reasin it makes me poop like a champion!
Thank you BOB!

On a serious note=Blonde on Blonde just proves that genius exists with its kaleidoscope of otherworldly poetic imagery and it’s memorable melodies to back up that lyrical extravaganza.
Cheers!

Pop shuvit…when i first listen to their song on the radio few years back, i never knew that was a local music band. i thought it was some newly international band. when i check out pop shuvit in the cyberspace, magazine, and local tv, i found that they are really cool!
Malaysian band really can give a really big competition to the international market because they are really better than alot of bands . would you rather listen to songs from a not-so-cool band such as coldplay than listen to the brilliant pop shuvit?
I love pop shuvit!!!!!!!!!!!11

Topher | 12/19/2006, 3:01 am EST

What kind of list is this? Even Dylan’s misses are 1000 times better than the total crap most artists are releasing today. And people who don’t agree with me are desensitized by the MTV machine. Who really thinks most crap today will even be remembered in 40 years? Dylan is a true American icon and even though his voice is gone, you owe it to yourself to catch him live, while you still can.

hokeycoke | 12/19/2006, 4:21 am EST

Down In The Groove. Everything else the man has done has some redeeming quality whether it be one or two songs, the album mentioned above just sucks.

Little Oscar | 12/19/2006, 9:32 am EST

I agree with Topher — Bob’s “bad” stuff is better than most people’s best stuff. I think every LP he’s done has something that I wouldn’t want to lose from my collection. Therefore, if he could go back in time, maybe he could erase Donvan?

mato | 12/19/2006, 9:53 am EST

Modern Times
Pure shit

Justin Timberlake | 12/19/2006, 9:57 am EST

i like bob dylan

Roger Toonoot | 12/19/2006, 10:26 am EST

The Christian stuff is interesting for it’s strangeness.

The 80s records have some decent songs sprinkled throughout, ie Dark Eyes, Brownsville Girl, & Silvio.

The winner: Live at Budokan

Jill | 12/19/2006, 12:51 pm EST

Chelsea williams – Undicided… Wonderful

Anonymous | 12/19/2006, 6:59 pm EST

I would go back to before I appeared in a Victoria’s Secret commercial playing a corpse-like old man stalker – and NOT do that.

Saved is not a bad album at all, it’s gospelly and Exile on Main Street-y and *heads and shoulders* above Slow Train Coming.

Nice, auramac.

Isis | 12/19/2006, 7:03 pm EST

Keep them all!

cheesecrop | 12/20/2006, 8:32 pm EST

I’d go back and volunteer my services to the person who did the Alvin & the Chipmunks albums and see how long I could keep the hits coming.

Finnegans Wake | 12/21/2006, 12:28 pm EST

I’d remove the one where Dylan recorded with New Kids on the Block as his backing band, called “NKOTB and Bobby Z.” Wow, I’m good… it’s GONE!!!

If you’d like to thank me, I accept cash.

Buda | 1/12/2007, 6:48 pm EST

saying dylan is gay or what he’s doing is gay is evidently a gay thing to do.

Robert A. Zimmerman | 4/4/2007, 4:08 pm EST

I would take every recording that had those shrieking and/or grunting cows that I insanely put in as back-up singers and all of the painful,cringe-inducing brass sections that went along with them and purge every pressing ever made of this swill and remix the original pieces of genius that I chose to shit on. Musta been a reaallyy bad decade or so…………..
