This was the first Bob Dylan I'd ever bought and it basically shocked me. I knew he was a legend and I knew he was ever popular but i didn't expect he would so brutally true and so honest with his lyrics. Don't think twice it's alright is so saddening..it's beautiful. "I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul, don't think twice it's alright" You've got the classics like Mr Tambourine Man, where if you listen to the lyrics you can almost feel the era it was written in. Acid highs "take me on a journey on a magic carpet ride" to blatent lows "I aint sleepy and there is no place I'm going to" Top album written by a man who certainly doesn't get the credit he deserves. Better writing musically and lyrically (try playing any of his rifts on gutair and you'll know what I mean)than any artist of our time.. May Bob Dylan continue to inspire lyrics like his own..cause even though times are a changin ...i'll play this forever..

This was the first Bob Dylan CD that I ever bought and now I am hooked. It contains so many good songs from so many of his albums that you get a thorough overview of his entire work, from the blues of "Blowin' in the Wind" to the rock style of "Jokerman." You can't relly go wrong if you buy this album as it is a great introduction to Bob Dylan's work.

Awesome, brilliant, incredible - words which are sprinkled in the air like confetti by over-enthusiastic reviewers, but which cannot begin to do justice to "Like a Rolling Stone", the GREATEST ROCK SONG IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC. That's not an opinion, it's a fact. Dylan was the greatest lyricist / songwriter / poet of the 20th century. LISTEN to the words. Dylan's best tracks stand alongside the operas of Verdi, the paintings of Van Gogh, and the photographs of Ansel Adams as the most inspiring, relevant, exciting and brilliant works in their field. Apart from the incredible riches to rags "Like a Rolling Stone" there are many other amazing tracks - the rebellious "Times they are a Changin", the beautiful "Just Like a Woman" and "Lay Lady Lay"; the classics "Mr Tambourine Man" made famous by the Byrds, "All Along the Watchtower" made equally famous by the great Jimi Hendrix, and "Knockin' on Heavens Door". Much of Dylan's music is an aquired taste, and everyone will have tracks that they worship and other tracks that they find mediocre. Personally I would have sacrificed some of the remaining tracks, to be able to include "Gates of Eden" ( b-side of Like a Rolling Stone ), "It's all Over Now Baby Blue", and the bitter and heartbreaking story of failed marriage "It Ain't Me Babe" - beyond doubt one of Dylan's finest creations. This album, despite those shortcomings is an utterly essential item for anyone who claims to be interested in music. Amazon only permit a maximum 5 star rating for albums, "like a Rolling Stone" alone deserves a thousand stars for God's sake.

Not good
One or two decent tracks at the start and then a lot of second rate stuff. This album seems to be cobbled together. Read more
