Planet Waves was pretty refreshing at the time, and has some neat stuff on it, with tight playing by the Band. But it was eclipsed by Blood On The Tracks, so that's probably why it gets overlooked.

Here's a bit of trivia...Dylan was going to call Planet Waves "Ceremonies of the Horsemen"...but changed his mind.

"Dirge" is like a prelude to "Idiot Wind", the most outraged Dylan howl of his entire career...

"Wedding Song" overstates its case, being the ultimate statement of romantic love taken to the point of outright fanaticism. How ironical that it so briefly preceded the breakup of Dylan's marriage with Sara.

Lots of other good stuff on Planet Waves.
