I recommend Bryan Ferry's Dylanesque album. The best tracks are probably Simple Twist Of Fate & Posiitively Fourth Street, but as I said earlier in the thread his version of A Hard Rain's A Gonna...

The Stones' version of LARS is OK. They leave out the 'jugglers & the clowns' verse.

I never know what to say to the apparently endless numbers of people who can't stand Dylan's voice. I have...

PM, you may have misunderstood me. I said 'there is only one Baker Street' - I should also have said 'there is only one Helter Skelter'. I don't like U2. As soon as Bono got to 'you ain't no lover...

Willie, there are a couple of contentious choices there... particularly Helter Skelter and Baker Street. There is only one Baker Street.

As for After Midnight, that was good, but MK didn't get...
