The Guardian- ranking their 5 Greatest Bob Dylan Songs. Bob released his debut album nearly 60 years ago. I don’t know where I would even start in making a list of his best songs. I do know that I would agree with their choice at #1- “Like A Rolling Stone.”

I agree with the list more or less. I would add, Under Your Spell from Knocked Out Loaded and Nettie Moore from Modern Times. Actually, now that I think about it, I would change a few of them, but hey, that’s why Dylan is one of the all time greats.
Impossible job ranking a Top 50 Bob.. so many to choose from.
I thought Blowin’ in the Wind was too far down…but I was happy A Simple Twist of Fate is higher than I thought. It’s too hard to rank them.
There are artists who I find impossible to rank- Bob is one of them. I think I could [although of course it wouldn’t be easy} rank Beatles songs- but Dylan would be very difficult. I think everyone has their favorites. His catalog is also so huge..
So huge and so varied…it’s hard. Even for the Beatles to rank She Loves You against Come Together… it would be difficult.
I was introduced to Bob Dylan by a teacher, who played him all night as he was driving to France. I got quite fond of ‘Mr Tambourine man’ I can strum ‘Blowin’ in The Wind:)
I don’t have much of a repertoire. Glad to see things seem a bit better in New York.
Mr. Tambourine Man- that would have to rank in my Top 10 Bob songs easily. One of those songs I wish I had written!
