Jerry Dingleman: The Boy Wonder(inactve) Top 5 bob dylan albums (50) RE: Top 5 bob dylan albums 19 Feb 02

someone had "self portrait" listed. I have always regarded this as his worst album, especially since his label released after he left them to fulfill his contract.

Spartacus,

"Self Portrait" was released as a planned album by Dylan and Columbia Records. You are confusing it with "Dylan," an album of outtakes that Columbia released when Dylan sought asylum at Asylum.

Interestingly, he was only at Asylum briefly before going back to Columbia and the two albums he did on Asylum are now on Columbia.

While I don't think that SP was one of Dylan's best, I've always found it enjoyable. In the past 10 years, Dylan has been doing great stuff again, but there was little of his 1980s music that did much for me.

My top five Dylan albums:

1) Blood On the Tracks

2) disc one of Live 1966

3) John Wesley Harding

4) The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

5) Blonde On Blonde.

On another day, I might have made different choices.

Jerry
