Love the way you two talk about all these songs, makes me love them even more. I feel the same when it comes to comparing the two decades. "Objectively" as well as in my personal ranking the 60s are better, but I often feel more drawn towards the kinda more colorful nature of his 70s work. Here's my list; I have 10 in common with Dylan and 9 with Joe: 1. Tangled Up in Blue 2. Changing of the Guards 3. Simple Twist of Fate 4. Shelter from the Storm 5. Going, Going, Gone 6. Is Your Love in Vain? 7. I Believe in You 8. If You See Her, Say Hello 9. Gotta Serve Somebody 10. Day of the Locusts 11. Forever Young 12. If Not for You 13. You're a Big Girl Now 14. Went to See the Gypsy 15. Slow Train 16. Idiot Wind 17. Isis 18. Precious Angel 19. You Angel You 20. Senor
1: You're a Big Girl Now 2: Simple Twist of Fate 3: Buckets of Rain 4: Tangled up in Blue 5: Oh Sister 6: One More Cup of Coffee 7: Joey 8: If You See Her, Say Hello 9: You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome 10: Isis 11: Meet Me In the Morning 12: Lilly, Rosemary/ Jack Hearts 13: Hurricane 14: Shelter from the Storm 15: Black Diamond Bay 16: Senor 17: Abandoned Love 18: Romance in Durango 19: Gotta Serve Somebody 20: Time Passes Slowly
As both of you were going down your lists, I now realize what a Treasure Bob Dylan was to the 70s beyond Blood and Desire. I also enjoyed Dylan's lack of commitment to multiple song versions so he included both versions and perhaps rightfully so. Thanks for reminiscing the 70s through these lists as i now have something to go back and re-listen to with your comments in mind..
I'm impressed how well you guys explain your picks. A reflection of how much you know about music and how well you known Dylan. As you know, you can't listem to all these great songs and agree on an order or even what to include
Brilliant lists from both of you. Both of you captured Dylan of the 70's. I know the anthems came from the 60's but this is my favorite decade. Really appreciate the shout out to "Buckets of Rain". I think this is one of Bob's greatest strength, writing about love while in the midst of losing the love or searching for love. How hard it is to find love in the present. If I would add one song to your lists it would be "If You See Her Say Hello". This along with "Most of the Time" from Oh Mercy rip your heart out. I had this and now it's gone and I'm trying to move on or rationalizing moving on. This is Bob bearing his soul in ways he rarely does. Anyway, this episode is the perfect conclusion to a decade where Dylan became an icon to me. Saw him live several times, and thoroughly consumed each new release. Fantastic episode. It appears that Joe is a slow train coming in his appreciation. Love it.
great lists guys ,, great to see one more cup of coffee and watching the river flow in there,, under rated tracks ,, seventies bob my favorite ,,think bob was at his peak in live performances then , imo .. ;))
Sign On The Window, Idiot Wind, Slow Train Wedding Song, If Not For You, Hurricane, Mozambique, Isis, Forever Young, You're A Big Girl Now, George Jackson!
What a fabulous bonus episode, both 20s are superb but I think I lean more towards Joe's. Incredibly hard to pick a 20 but mine (at least for tonight!) is: 1. Changing Of The Guard 2. Sign On The Window 3. Simple Twist Of Fate 4. Tangled Up In Blue 5. Shelter From The Storm 6. Hurricane 7. Black Diamond Bay 8. Where Are You Tonight? 9. Idiot Wind 10. Precious Angel 11. Never Say Goodbye 12. Meet Me In The Morning 13. When He Returns 14. If You See Her, Say Hello 15. Senor 16. Sara 17. Romance In Durango 18. Tough Mama 19. One More Cup Of Coffee 20. Day Of The Locusts Edit: .. and of course I've somehow missed You're A Big Girl Now, which is definitely top 5! 😂
Really liked both of your lists and honestly any of the songs you mentioned could easily have made my list! Glad that both of you gave a shout out to Tonight I’m Staying Here With You from Rolling Thunder. Joe should listen to the entire Bootleg Series Vol. 5 and Hard Rain to hear more of Bob’s vocals from that tour! Here’s my list: 1. Changing of the Guards 2. Precious Angel 3. One More Cup of Coffee 4. You’re A Big Girl Now (Hard Rain version, live 1976) 5. Tangled Up In Blue 6. Shelter From The Storm (Hard Rain version, live 1976) 7. Señor 8. Slow Train 9.

Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts 12. Sign on the Window 11. Changing of the Guards 10. Simple Twist of Fate 9. Where Are You Tonight? (Journey Through Dark Heat) 8.

Romance in Durango 2. Changing of the Guards 1. One More Cup of Coffee The Pat Garret & Billy the Kid songs may seem high, but I absolutely love the movie and the songs just make me think about how great the movie is. Love the inclusion of Copper Kettle on Dylan's list, which just missed mine.
Love the fact that Joe had three songs from Street Legal. Kudos to you! Three sons that would have made my top twenty: 1. Went To See The Gypsy 2. Sara. 3. LIVE VERSION (Hard Rain 1976) Shelter from the Storm
Most if not all of Blood on the Tracks. If Not For You, Tough Mama, One More Cup of Coffee, Hurricane. Rolling Thunder Revue material a bit shambolic but so wonderful. I'm partial to his 60's but love to see enthusiasm for 70's and now I've finally heard all of it, thanks. Now, about that first album of 80's!
1. Tangled Up In Blue 2. Idiot Wind 3. Isis 4. Black Diamond Bay 5. Simple Twist Of Fate 6. Wedding Song 7. Shelter From The Storm 8. Senor 9. Changing Of The Guards 10. One More Cup Of Coffee 11.

Great picks and nice commentary.. I especially like the choices of “Copper Kettle”, and “Where Are You Tonight (Journey Through Dark Heat). Some tracks not mentioned, that are personal favorites of mine are, “Alberta” from “Self Portrait”, “Dirge” from “Planet Waves”, “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go” from “Blood On The Tracks”. “Mozambique” from “Desire” (catchy, infectious tune), and although I don’t like it’s divisive theme, I think “Gotta Serve Somebody” from “Slow Train Coming”, has a groove about it that’s undeniable imo. Great job guys!
Oh yeah, I also appreciated hearing such love for “New Morning, one of my favorite Dylan albums. And even though it’s very brief, “Father Of Night” has always been one of my favorites.
Great series! Clearly Joe has come a long way in his Bob appreciation, so Mr. Sevey has done a great job there. Both lists are very strong. Bob in the Seventies is probably my favourite of his periods, other than (incredibly) the late-90’s /2000’s! What an exemplary artist! My list: 1) Sign on the Window--clever, insightful, master songwriting 2) Tangled Up in Blue-brilliant lyrics, great story, wonderful changes in perspective 3) Abandoned Love (from Biography, outtake from Desire era)-love this song, terrific lyrics, great Scarlet violin 4) One More Cup of Coffee-full gypsy mode, mysterious and dark 5) Changing of the Guard-great full-on band performance, unique in the canon 6) I Believe in You-a true believer, passionate delivery, great Bob piano 7) Buckets of Rain-great guitar, simple but straightforward lyrics, beautifully sung 8) Idiot Wind (live Hard Rain version)-proto-punk, seething energy, he means it! 9) Copper Kettle (Another Self Portrait version)-take off the excess muck, cuts to the core 10) Up to Me (Biography, Blood on the Tracks out-take)-fabulous, clever song, a favourite of postal clerks 11) Going, going, gone--my favourite from Planet Waves, just a great early hours in the morning song 12) Meet Me in the Morning--Dylan proves his mastery of the blues form; a secret pleasure on Blood 13) Watching the River Flow-great clever little rocker 14) New Morning-just a beautiful, hopeful song 15) Shelter from the Storm-master class song writing, such a joy 16) Black Diamond Bay--another Dylan twist in perspective, just a great, barrelling song 17) Isis (live version, from Live 1975)--Dylan at his most energetic and, yes, playful 18) When I Paint My Masterpiece--another great, high energy song with a solid band 19) Pretty Saro (Another Self Portrait, Self Portrait out-take)--beautiful, simple, heart felt, and very well sung 20) New Pony-a little guilty pleasure of mine from Street-Legal, but I love the bluesy grove of this song! And I will also add my vote to a 20 (b) that is the Live 1975 version of Tonight I’ll be Staying Here With You…beyond excellent. What a confident, brilliant artist. Love the Bob! Thx guys and cheers, JPE

Just found this online: Mr. Dylan’s work - “with its iambics, its clackety-clack rhymes, and its scattergun images,” as the critic Robert Christgau wrote - has its own kind of emblematic verbal genius. His diction, focus and tone are those of a caustically gifted word man; his metrical dexterity is everywhere apparent. He is capable of rhetorical organization; more often he scatters his rhetoric like seed, or like curses.
Great summary of the 70’s. All good picks. As far as another of Dylan’s great live vocal performances, I would include “I Ain’t Got No Home” with the Band from the Woody Guthrie Memorial Concert in 1968.
If any other artist had a decade like Dylan 's 70's, their work would be considered good to great. It is a testimony to the man's greatness that except for Blood on the Tracks and the Rolling Thunder Tour and perhaps Desire, his entire 70's work is octaves below his 60's output. He even had a collection of songs (Basement Tapes) that were never originally released but became so wildly popular in bootlegs Columbia was forced to officially release them in 1975.
BTW, if we are considering redos of 60's songs "Hard Rain" electric version from Rolling Thunder. He spits fire like a Banshee from God singing that song. Feels like the book of Revelation come to life. Could not believe this reworking of it when I first heard it. Stunned.
Hi guys, my list at the moment would be like this... 1) one more cup of coffee 2) simple twist of fate 3) hurricane 4) new morning 5) tangled up in blue 6) man in me 7) shelter from the storm 8) precious angel 9) you're a big girl now 10) this evening so soon 11) oh sister 12) copper kettle 13) black diamond bay 14) went to see the gipsy 15) idiot wind 16) Mozambique 17) changing of the guard 18) meet me in the morning 19) when i paint my masterpiece 20) baby, stop crying Have a nice summer!
Good choices, I love Pat and Billy so much, one of my most played albums. Desire and Tracks of course.. but i actually started out in the Saved period and I love most of that also.
Great lists guys...loving this series. For those of us who love 80's Dylan, it will be interesting to have your takes. Critics were often unkind but there are masterpieces (IMO) on every album and its so interesting to see Bob really searching for direction for most of the decade. When you get to Infidels, I hope you take a minute to watch Bob on Letterman where he promoted the album fronting 3 LA punk band members and its fantastic.

Very Blood on the Tracks and Desire heavy 1 Simple Twist of Fate 2. Sara 3. Idiot Wind 4. Isis 5. Knocking on Heaven’s Door 6. Tough Mama 7. The Water is Wide (from Rolling Thunder Review) 8. If Not For You 9. Shelter From the Storm 10. Buckets of Rain 11. Senior (Tales of Yankee Power) 12. Dirge 13. When I Paint My Masterpiece 14. You’re a Big Girl Now 15. Gotta Serve Somebody 16. One More Cup of Coffee 17. You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome when You Go 18. Mama You’ve Been on My Mind (from Rolling Thunder Review) 19 Tangled Up in Blue 20. Forever Young
I think my top 20 would be: 1.) Abandoned love (released in 1985 but recorded in the 70s) 2.) Idiot wind 2.) You're a big girl now take 1 (more blood more tracks) 3.) Buckets of Rain 4.) One more cup of coffee 5.) Going, going, gone (live at Budokun Hall) 6.) Sara 7.) Love minus zero (live at Budokun Hall) 8.) You're gonna make me lonesome when you go 9.) Tangled up in blue 10.)

Romance in Dorango 18.) On a night like this 19.) Black diamond bay 20.) Oh sister
My list -- I'm in the tiny minority on this, but for me Lily Rosemary is one of D's greatest songs. Throwaway lines like "As the leading actor hurried by in the costume of a monk". See Ferlinghetti's poem about this song -- it has layer upon layer, and it works like a movie; the music is bouncy counterpoint to near-perfect storytelling, which uses stock western characters to tell a mythic tale superbly and indelibly. As for the rest of the '70's, 7 from BOTT, 4 from Desire, 6 from New Morning (and there could have been 1 or 2 more -- great album I've only recently started to fully appreciate). Not nearly as many great songs as his '60's work, but his output would be remarkable for any other human. Lily Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts Idiot Wind Simple Twist of Fate Tangled Up in Blue Abandoned Love Romance In Durango Went to See the Gypsy Call Letter Blues Black Diamond Bay Sign on the Window Father of Night Knockin on Heaven’s Door No Time to Think Dirge Shelter From the Storm Hurricane Buckets of Rain Day of the Locusts If Not For You New Morning

I love Meet Me In the Morning. It isn't the best song on Blood on The Tracks. But if I'm going to listen to only one song on that album, it's Meet Me In The Morning.
10.Gotta serve somebody, 9.Buckets of rain , 8.Went to see the gypsy, 7.All the tired horses, 6.Hurricane, 5. The Changing of the Guard, 4. Copper Kettle (bootleg series), 3. You’re a big girl now, 2. The man in me, 1. You’re gonna make me lonesome when you go

Shelter from the Storm (Live - Hard Rain) 6. Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door (Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid) 7. You’re a Big Girl Now (Blood On The Tracks) 8. Tangled up in Blue (Blood On The Tracks) 9. Isis (Desire) 10. The Man in Me (New Morning)
I was just looking down at lists, and I saw your list before your name. I thought: This is the best list on here for me, and it could be mine if in a different order. Of course, I don't know most of Dylan's 70s, but I know all your songs. Maybe I would substitute New Morning for Isis (move it down to '11"), but nothing else. 😁 😊
In no particular order: I Believe in You Where are you Tonight Abandoned Love Shelter from the Storm Billy 4 Something there is About you When I Paint my Masterpiece Watching the River Flow You Angel You Black Diamond Bay Romance in Durango Oh Sister Gotta Serve Somebody You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You go Lily Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts New Pony On a Night like This Nobody Cept you Golden Loom Call Letter Blues
20. Lily, Rosemary, And The Jack Of Hearts - More Blood, More Tracks 19. Dirge - Planet Waves 18. You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go - Blood on the Tracks 17. Where Are You Tonight - Street-Legal 16. One More Cup Of Coffee - Live The Rolling Thunder Revue (1975) 15. Oh Sister - Live The World of John Hammond (1975) 14. Buckets Of Rain - Blood on the Tracks 13. Hurricane - Live The Rolling Thunder Revue (1975) 12. Idiot Wind - More Blood, More Tracks 11. Senor - Street-Legal 10. You're A Big Girl Now - More Blood, More Tracks 9. Romance In Durango - Live The Rolling Thunder Revue (1975) 8. Changing Of The Guards - Street-Legal 7. Simple Twist Of Fate - Blood on the Tracks 6. Shelter From The Storm - Blood on the Tracks 5. Up To Me - More Blood, More Tracks 4. If You See Her, Say Hello - More Blood, More Tracks 3. Isis - Live The Rolling Thunder Revue (1975) 2. Abandoned Love - Live at the The Bitter End (1975) 1. Tangled Up And Blue - More Blood, More Tracks Obviously biased towards the Blood on the Tracks sessions. I prefer the NYC recordings to the five Minneapolis versions. Actually prefer some of the More Blood versions in NYC to the BotT NYC versions, but am to lazy to look up those preferences. 🙂 Greet sessions. Interesting that I rate highly the song left off the album while the one I don't rate from BotT made both your lists. All of the Desire session songs were much better in concert in 1975. There are now multiple versions of them to pick from for the one that hit's the right spot for a listener. Well, except for Abandoned Love which has just the one performance. Surprised by the New Morning love on your two lists. Kind of interesting - it was one of my early gateway Dylan albums 40 years ago in college. Easy to listen to, pleasant, his voice at times in good order though occasionally dealing with a cold. I think over time it just felt like a lighter collection of songs, and none really jumping out as great. #1 is a cliche, but warranted both for quality and being a favorite of mine. Part of the fun of Dylan - they is so much depth that any number of different songs can appeal to different people.
Nothing really to disagree here. I for one am emphatically agreeing with "Buckets of Rain" and "Billy 4". Here are min, in very rough order, backwards in four packages of five, but the ranking has primarily to do with my idiosyncratic Dylan history. (There are maybe five other songs that I could have included here.) The Man in Me Changing of the Guards I Believe in You Going Going Gone I Shall Be Released Tangled Up in Blue You're A Big Girl Now One More Cup of Coffee Sign on the Window Where Are Your Tonight Meet Me in the Morning Idiot Wind Dirge Billy 4 Abandoned Love (Live in NYC) Buckets of Rain If You See Her Say Hello Never Say Goodbye Simple Twist of Fate When I Paint My Masterpiece
Some of my favorites chronologically listed Copper Kettle New Morning I Shall Be Released Knocking on Heaven's Door Forever Young Simple Twist of Fate One More Cup of Coffee Señor Gotta Serve Somebody When He Returns
Just wondering if Joe is all in on 70s Dylan that he's gonna invest in the forthcoming 27 CD '74 tour boxset?? That's too much Bob, even for me, lol. Stuart
Joe's in a good mood? No, a great mood? And he loves Jesus? WTF is going on??? Anyway, when it comes to Bob Dylan in the 70s, all I need is "Tangled Up in Blue". There are many other good songs, but that one says it all. And it's not about Jesus, which is EXCELLENT.
What a terrible Sophie's choice. New Morning, Planet Waves, Slow Train, Another Self Portrait. And then there's Blood on the Tracks. How can you choose just among these? Impossible.
Tonight I’ll be Staying Here With You is still probably my all time favorite Dylan tune…Happy to see the Rolling Thunder version listed here👏🏼

Love the way you two talk about all these songs, makes me love them even more.
I feel the same when it comes to comparing the two decades. "Objectively" as well as in my personal ranking the 60s are better, but I often feel more drawn towards the kinda more colorful nature of his 70s work.
Here's my list; I have 10 in common with Dylan and 9 with Joe:
1. Tangled Up in Blue
2. Changing of the Guards
3. Simple Twist of Fate
4. Shelter from the Storm
5. Going, Going, Gone
6. Is Your Love in Vain?
7. I Believe in You
8. If You See Her, Say Hello
9. Gotta Serve Somebody
10. Day of the Locusts
11. Forever Young
12. If Not for You
13. You're a Big Girl Now
14. Went to See the Gypsy
15. Slow Train
16. Idiot Wind
17. Isis
18. Precious Angel
19. You Angel You
20. Senor
Thanks!

Great picks from both of you. Shout out for the Changing of the Guards pick, I've been really into that one myself lately.
As both of you were going down your lists, I now realize what a Treasure Bob Dylan was to the 70s beyond Blood and Desire. I also enjoyed Dylan's lack of commitment to multiple song versions so he included both versions and perhaps rightfully so. Thanks for reminiscing the 70s through these lists as i now have something to go back and re-listen to with your comments in mind..
I'm impressed how well you guys explain your picks. A reflection of how much you know about music and how well you known Dylan. As you know, you can't listem to all these great songs and agree on an order or even what to include
Brilliant lists from both of you. Both of you captured Dylan of the 70's. I know the anthems came from the 60's but this is my favorite decade.
Really appreciate the shout out to "Buckets of Rain". I think this is one of Bob's greatest strength, writing about love while in the midst of losing the love or searching for love. How hard it is to find love in the present. If I would add one song to your lists it would be "If You See Her Say Hello". This along with "Most of the Time" from Oh Mercy rip your heart out. I had this and now it's gone and I'm trying to move on or rationalizing moving on. This is Bob bearing his soul in ways he rarely does.
Anyway, this episode is the perfect conclusion to a decade where Dylan became an icon to me. Saw him live several times, and thoroughly consumed each new release.
Fantastic episode. It appears that Joe is a slow train coming in his appreciation. Love it.
Fantastic episode. Appreciate you two a lot! Avid fan of the channel!!
Much appreciated, sir. - Joe

Really liked both of your lists and honestly any of the songs you mentioned could easily have made my list!

The Pat Garret & Billy the Kid songs may seem high, but I absolutely love the movie and the songs just make me think about how great the movie is. Love the inclusion of Copper Kettle on Dylan's list, which just missed mine.
Some might say that Wagon Wheel has become one of Dylan's most memorable songs from the seventies!
Love the fact that Joe had three songs from Street Legal. Kudos to you! Three sons that would have made my top twenty:
1. Went To See The Gypsy
2. Sara.
3. LIVE VERSION (Hard Rain 1976)
Shelter from the Storm
Most if not all of Blood on the Tracks. If Not For You, Tough Mama, One More Cup of Coffee, Hurricane. Rolling Thunder Revue material a bit shambolic but so wonderful. I'm partial to his 60's but love to see enthusiasm for 70's and now I've finally heard all of it, thanks. Now, about that first album of 80's!
1. Tangled Up In Blue

20. Dirge.
Great picks and nice commentary.. I especially like the choices of “Copper Kettle”, and “Where Are You Tonight (Journey Through Dark Heat). Some tracks not mentioned, that are personal favorites of mine are, “Alberta” from “Self Portrait”, “Dirge” from “Planet Waves”, “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go” from “Blood On The Tracks”. “Mozambique” from “Desire” (catchy, infectious tune), and although I don’t like it’s divisive theme, I think “Gotta Serve Somebody” from “Slow Train Coming”, has a groove about it that’s undeniable imo. Great job guys!
Oh yeah, I also appreciated hearing such love for “New Morning, one of my favorite Dylan albums. And even though it’s very brief, “Father Of Night” has always been one of my favorites.
Bob Dylan’s really got a hold on Joe! It’s a beautiful thing to watch this unfold.
I think Joe has come around for many obvious reasons and for one he does yet know consciously; Bob's amazing voice is reaching him.
@@mejbarron Yes, and I’m very happy to see it.
Great series! Clearly Joe has come a long way in his Bob appreciation, so Mr. Sevey has done a great job there. Both lists are very strong. Bob in the Seventies is probably my favourite of his periods, other than (incredibly) the late-90’s /2000’s! What an exemplary artist! My list:
1) Sign on the Window--clever, insightful, master songwriting
2) Tangled Up in Blue-brilliant lyrics, great story, wonderful changes in perspective
3) Abandoned Love (from Biography, outtake from Desire era)-love this song, terrific lyrics, great Scarlet violin
4) One More Cup of Coffee-full gypsy mode, mysterious and dark
5) Changing of the Guard-great full-on band performance, unique in the canon
6) I Believe in You-a true believer, passionate delivery, great Bob piano
7) Buckets of Rain-great guitar, simple but straightforward lyrics, beautifully sung
8) Idiot Wind (live Hard Rain version)-proto-punk, seething energy, he means it!
9) Copper Kettle (Another Self Portrait version)-take off the excess muck, cuts to the core
10) Up to Me (Biography, Blood on the Tracks out-take)-fabulous, clever song, a favourite of postal clerks
11) Going, going, gone--my favourite from Planet Waves, just a great early hours in the morning song
12) Meet Me in the Morning--Dylan proves his mastery of the blues form; a secret pleasure on Blood
13) Watching the River Flow-great clever little rocker
14) New Morning-just a beautiful, hopeful song
15) Shelter from the Storm-master class song writing, such a joy
16) Black Diamond Bay--another Dylan twist in perspective, just a great, barrelling song
17) Isis (live version, from Live 1975)--Dylan at his most energetic and, yes, playful
18) When I Paint My Masterpiece--another great, high energy song with a solid band
19) Pretty Saro (Another Self Portrait, Self Portrait out-take)--beautiful, simple, heart felt, and very well sung
20) New Pony-a little guilty pleasure of mine from Street-Legal, but I love the bluesy grove of this song!
And I will also add my vote to a 20 (b) that is the Live 1975 version of Tonight I’ll be Staying Here With You…beyond excellent. What a confident, brilliant artist. Love the Bob! Thx guys and cheers, JPE
Great list! Lots of similarities to the boys' as well.
Love the shoutout to “Pretty Saro”!

Just found this online: Mr. Dylan’s work - “with its iambics, its clackety-clack rhymes, and its scattergun images,” as the critic Robert Christgau wrote - has its own kind of emblematic verbal genius. His diction, focus and tone are those of a caustically gifted word man; his metrical dexterity is everywhere apparent. He is capable of rhetorical organization; more often he scatters his rhetoric like seed, or like curses.
Great summary of the 70’s. All good picks. As far as another of Dylan’s great live vocal performances, I would include “I Ain’t Got No Home” with the Band from the Woody Guthrie Memorial Concert in 1968.
If any other artist had a decade like Dylan 's 70's, their work would be considered good to great. It is a testimony to the man's greatness that except for Blood on the Tracks and the Rolling Thunder Tour and perhaps Desire, his entire 70's work is octaves below his 60's output. He even had a collection of songs (Basement Tapes) that were never originally released but became so wildly popular in bootlegs Columbia was forced to officially release them in 1975.
BTW, if we are considering redos of 60's songs "Hard Rain" electric version from Rolling Thunder. He spits fire like a Banshee from God singing that song. Feels like the book of Revelation come to life. Could not believe this reworking of it when I first heard it. Stunned.
Hi guys, my list at the moment would be like this...
1) one more cup of coffee
2) simple twist of fate
3) hurricane
4) new morning
5) tangled up in blue
6) man in me
7) shelter from the storm
8) precious angel
9) you're a big girl now
10) this evening so soon
11) oh sister
12) copper kettle
13) black diamond bay
14) went to see the gipsy
15) idiot wind
16) Mozambique
17) changing of the guard
18) meet me in the morning
19) when i paint my masterpiece
20) baby, stop crying
Have a nice summer!
Good choices, I love Pat and Billy so much, one of my most played albums. Desire and Tracks of course.. but i actually started out in the Saved period and I love most of that also.
Great lists guys...loving this series. For those of us who love 80's Dylan, it will be interesting to have your takes. Critics were often unkind but there are masterpieces (IMO) on every album and its so interesting to see Bob really searching for direction for most of the decade. When you get to Infidels, I hope you take a minute to watch Bob on Letterman where he promoted the album fronting 3 LA punk band members and its fantastic.

GOING GOING GONE YESSSS
My list -- I'm in the tiny minority on this, but for me Lily Rosemary is one of D's greatest songs. Throwaway lines like "As the leading actor hurried by in the costume of a monk". See Ferlinghetti's poem about this song -- it has layer upon layer, and it works like a movie; the music is bouncy counterpoint to near-perfect storytelling, which uses stock western characters to tell a mythic tale superbly and indelibly. As for the rest of the '70's, 7 from BOTT, 4 from Desire, 6 from New Morning (and there could have been 1 or 2 more -- great album I've only recently started to fully appreciate). Not nearly as many great songs as his '60's work, but his output would be remarkable for any other human.

I was just looking down at lists, and I saw your list before your name. I thought: This is the best list on here for me, and it could be mine if in a different order. Of course, I don't know most of Dylan's 70s, but I know all your songs. Maybe I would substitute New Morning for Isis (move it down to '11"), but nothing else. 😁 😊
@@oppothumbs1 Very cool! Thank you! I went with a lot of undeniable classics that are just perfect to my ears. 😊 🤝

Obviously biased towards the Blood on the Tracks sessions. I prefer the NYC recordings to the five Minneapolis versions. Actually prefer some of the More Blood versions in NYC to the BotT NYC versions, but am to lazy to look up those preferences. 🙂 Greet sessions. Interesting that I rate highly the song left off the album while the one I don't rate from BotT made both your lists.
All of the Desire session songs were much better in concert in 1975. There are now multiple versions of them to pick from for the one that hit's the right spot for a listener. Well, except for Abandoned Love which has just the one performance.
Surprised by the New Morning love on your two lists. Kind of interesting - it was one of my early gateway Dylan albums 40 years ago in college. Easy to listen to, pleasant, his voice at times in good order though occasionally dealing with a cold. I think over time it just felt like a lighter collection of songs, and none really jumping out as great.
#1 is a cliche, but warranted both for quality and being a favorite of mine.
Part of the fun of Dylan - they is so much depth that any number of different songs can appeal to different people.
Nothing really to disagree here. I for one am emphatically agreeing with "Buckets of Rain" and "Billy 4".
Here are min, in very rough order, backwards in four packages of five, but the ranking has primarily to do with my idiosyncratic Dylan history. (There are maybe five other songs that I could have included here.)

When He Returns
oh, sister ( the opposite of filler)
Just wondering if Joe is all in on 70s Dylan that he's gonna invest in the forthcoming 27 CD '74 tour boxset?? That's too much Bob, even for me, lol. Stuart
Joe's in a good mood? No, a great mood? And he loves Jesus? WTF is going on???
Anyway, when it comes to Bob Dylan in the 70s, all I need is "Tangled Up in Blue". There are many other good songs, but that one says it all.
And it's not about Jesus, which is EXCELLENT.
Slow train coming?
no forever young ?
So many good songs. Easily could have made the list!
A long, good and open interview of Bob: Bob Dylan - Rome Press Conference, 2001

Hey Joe, as a Christian Slow Train Coming sounds like the second coming of Christ to me. You can’t stop it but anybody can climb aboard!
I actually think Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid qualifies as a very good album.
Zero songs in the top 20. Not feeling it. - Joe
I listen to an hour or two of Dylan every day at work... this album gets played more often than any other.
What a terrible Sophie's choice. New Morning, Planet Waves, Slow Train, Another Self Portrait. And then there's Blood on the Tracks. How can you choose just among these? Impossible.
UGH. Precious Angel is Joe's number 1?? Joe and I are far apart on this one. Stunning. Really dislike the lyrics and vocal performance.
Still, you got in some good choices Joe. Cheers mate.
The lyrics are fantastic! And it’s one of Bob’s best, most impassioned vocal performances.
Prescious Angel is incredible song imo .. underrated gem
Funny you guys are so big on "Idiot Wind." It's really good, but the clear lowlight of BOTT for me.
Holy cow! Me n Rich agree on something song related. -Jason
@@TastesLikeMusic High five Jason! Yeah, a bit too much bellowing on that one.
@@TastesLikeMusicNot something to be proud of (love you, Rich)
