the last in-depth Springsteen thread around here set several fires and ended poorly.

Everyone feels like that around here sometimes.

And that's not surprising, because we're not the same people, but whatever. If someone doesn't like a group you adore, don't take it as a personal slam against your taste. I mean, I hate the stones, but i dig you.

I dig Dylan though. Alot.

i love Dylan. If I could only listen to one artist forever, it would be him.

I don't take it AGAINST me, dog, but I do many times think "WTF is wrong with these people." Your Stones hate is perplexing, but I give you a pass cos you know so much about actual music, whereas I go "i like that" or "i hate that" based on its sound alone.

But, this thread, Plus many of the entries in the "board faves of the past" thread where I just think :shock: :roll:

I know it's hard to love something and be like, don't you hear what makes this amazing too? But thinking like that is taking it personally, kind of.

I mean, gina thinks I'm insane because pickles make me nauseous, but they just do, so what can you do?

That crazy woman won't touch sushi. Go figure.

The Stones appeal to you on a visceral, right in the gut level (i'm assuming), and The Beatles hit me somewhere as a balance between head and heart, and Dylan gets me on an intellectual level. You never know how an artist is going to appeal or repulse an individual.

I'm figuring out that it's Jagger's voice more than anything that makes me violent.

Anyhow, blah blah blah.

I just think that sometimes listening to one of his albums in its entireity can be kind of arduous, especially Blonde on Blonde.

Thank you! This is exactly why Blonde on Blonde will never be one of my favorite Dylan albums--it just goes on and on forever without enough variety. I only love 5 out of 15 songs on the album, whereas I love everything on Blood on the Tracks except "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts" (which, not coincidentally, goes on and on forever).

And I think "Rainy Day Women" is beneath him; leave that goofy shit for David Peel.
