B&S simply for the pop-tastic songs on this record.

The Life Pursuit. I had to double check the track list before I made my vote. I need to listen to that album more.

Not my favorite B&S, but I am considering filing a cease and desist order on new Dylan recordings on behalf of his legacy.

Mostly sums it up, though there are some good nuggets on that B&S album at least.

Maybe the 20th best Dylan album over a terrible B&S album.

Love and Theft is underrated. It will wind up a solid part of the Dylan canon. B&S will win, but by this much isn't right.

It's a Dylan album. I'll take the 100th best Dylan album over the 5th best B&S album, and I'm a B&S fan.
