Bob Dylan is an American singer-songwriter, musician, and poet who has had a profound influence on popular music and culture. He was born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941, in Duluth, Minnesota, United States. Dylan is known for his distinctive voice, poetic lyrics, and his ability to blend various musical genres, including folk, rock, blues, and country.
This is not a list of Bob’s best songs as voted by his fans. Rather it is the 100 songs chosen by the pollster and then ranked by fans. So many of his best songs weren’t included in the list so the poll is a joke!!!!!
Dear Mr. Elliott, in the first place you do not seem to have any understanding of either polls or jokes. This list is precisely a poll and would appear to be entirely in earnest. In the second place, which of his best songs are not included in this list? Perhaps one or two. Certainly not many. “Tears of Rage”? Check. “I Dreamed I Saw Saint Augustine”? Check. “Nettie Moore”? Check. Perhaps you are thinking of excellent obscurities, yet both “I’m Not There” and “Up to Me” are present. I, too, might have personally chosen, say, more tracks from “Street Legal” or every single track from John Wesley Harding, but it does not seem to me that those omissions are egregious or even unwarranted. Most of his best songs are, in fact, here. Quit talking out yer behind.
Where the heck is Love Minus Zero/ No Limit? It should be in the top ten.
They could’ve had the top 200 songs & still some of my favorites would still be missing 🙂 In Bob we trust!
