As i mentioned in my last post, Bob Dylan is one of my favorite artists of all-time. Again, as is the case for a lot of the bands i listen to, i was into the artist before i was into vinyl (really, before i had a turntable), so much of my collection is on CD. Once i started getting into vinyl, one of the first purchases i made was Bob's "Greatest Hits" LP for $3. Good purchase. After that, i bought a bunch of CDs with a gift card i received last Christmas. Then came "Another Side" and "Blonde on Blonde" and on and on. Of course, Mr. Dylan is one of the most prolific artists of all time, and collecting all of his official releases (not to mention bootlegs, live shows, etc.) is quite a hefty task. Perhaps one day in the future i'll have the privilege of having them all. For now, i can listen to "Blonde on Blonde," "Blood on the Tracks," and "Another Side..." until the grooves wear flat and produce nothing more than muffled tones of poetry and still be content. Picking a favorite album will still be difficult, though.
