It's not a great album by any means, but Bob Mould's "The Last Dog & Pony Show" loses at least 2 points for "Megamanic," one of the most aggressively stupid and grating songs I've heard in the last several years.

That's a ballsy choice. But glad to see someone offer love for Phil. I myself, like him.


I can't say I love all of his solo stuff but Hello, I Must Be Going! is one hell of an album and You Can't Hurry Love seems so cheesy compared to the other songs. I do not know why he put it on there. Hopefully not filler because the song is barely three minutes and the album as it is is 45 minutes.

Also, I like "Love In Vain" as a song, it's just Mick that fucking irritate's me.

I don't know about everyone else, but I always fucking skip Rainy Day Women #12 and 35 when I listen to Blonde on Blonde. I can't believe that's his track 1 for this amazing album.

Hey I like that song


It reminds me of I Gave My Love a Cherry on Animal House, and it makes me wish I could go Belushi on my stereo.

Yeah, what the fuck was he thinking there.


More Dylan. I know Bloor agrees here:

"Joey" on Desire is what keeps that album from being a true classic IMO and it's 11 MINUTES LONG.

I don't lke that song, harshman. And my eyesight is pretty shitty. I do like Rainy Day Women, though.

This thread was meant for the person who mentioned the Mould record.

Amen! Gimme Fiction would be my album of the year if not for this song.

I totally agree on Rainy Day Women. Blonde on Blonde could be a better album if this song was removed. That's hard to say about such a classic but I believe it's true.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE ANYMORE.

And, seriously, hating Sloop John B is like hating music. I know all of you think that Pet Sounds is some kind of paean to God and about deeper shit than sailing through the Carribean getting drunk, but you are assbags anyway ;)

I hate all those minutes of silence between hidden tracks on cd's! Why don't they just make it a track and not list it on the album, fer cryin' out loud.
