I've always thought that Desire was one of Dylan's biggest turds. I used to love Hurricane but that kind of got ruined for me due to overplay. After that song, I thought the album was really disappointing by his standards. Maybe because he shares writing credits and I just don't like that. In fact One more cup of coffee is really the only song I still listen to on that album. And it' s one of two that he wrote alone on that album. So in my opinion it is defintely near the bottom, but I generally stay away from Desire. I like the Bootleg 1975 Rolling Thunder Review version of Sara come to think of it, which is hte other song he wrote alone. I know there is a version of Oh Sister on that album too, but I can' t recall it right now. I'm gonna listen to that when I get home to see if it is in fact one of his worse.
This is the version that inspired the thred. Came up on itunes, but I have hated since I first bought Live at Budokan.
I am one of few who like "Sara" as well.
