Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 The intro song to Watchmen was canny in an acoustic folksy sort of way and it turns out it was this Im trying to broaden my musical horizons to include people that take drugs so any tips on which of his albums has similar themes, ie. harmonicas and acoustic guitars? Or is all his stuff like this? Reminds me of Dallas Green a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13812 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Not all of his stuff is like that at all. Try :- Blonde on Blonde Highway 61 Revisited You may not like the drug references however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus 0 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 All his early stuff is acoustic. When he went 'electric' his fans were practically rioting in the streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13812 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Neil Young did some really good stuff but also a lot of shite. For me :- After the gold rush* Zuma Harvest is the best of his work. *Particularly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13812 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Yeh a good song, live version on the end of Harvest too. However Young was also a heavy drug user and he criticises the lack of understanding in society in that very song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13812 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I would say these lads are in the same vein as the previously mentioned artists, either way their album ''What the toll tells'' is class so I would advise any folk/pop fans to check it out. Also Willy Mason might be worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cid_MCDP 0 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 You should check out some of the early Leonard Cohen if you dig Dylan. Seems like every Dylan fan I know (I mean real Dylan fans- not people like me who are sort of, "Yeah, he's aiight.") also digs Leonard Cohen. Death of a Ladies Man and Songs from a Room are both pretty good in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Jay Sea 0 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 If you want a Dylan 'benchmark' album then Blood On The Tracks is your album chap. If you wanna fucking song that you'd wanna ram down your girlfriend / wife / back-stabbing friend / boss / wank work colleague(s) or people who jusr fuck you off then POSITIVELY 4TH STREET really is the benchmark. Bar none......'do you think I would make contact...with the one who tries to hide what he don't know to begin with?'....get amongst it chap.......it's fucking uplifting (not words you would associate with Bob Dylan and his music.....but it blows your mind........

You got a lotta nerve To say you are my friend When I was down You just stood there grinning You got a lotta nerve To say you got a helping hand to lend You just want to be on The side that's winning You say I let you down You know it's not like that If you're so hurt Why then don't you show it You say you lost your faith But that's not where it's at You had no faith to lose And you know it I know the reason That you talk behind my back I used to be among the crowd You're in with Do you take me for such a fool To think I'd make contact With the one who tries to hide What he don't know to begin with You see me on the street You always act surprised You say, "How are you?" "Good luck" But you don't mean it When you know as well as me You'd rather see me paralyzed Why don't you just come out once And scream it No, I do not feel that good When I see the heartbreaks you embrace If I was a master thief Perhaps I'd rob them And now I know you're dissatisfied With your position and your place Don't you understand It's not my problem I wish that for just one time You could stand inside my shoes And just for that one moment I could be you Yes, I wish that for just one time You could stand inside my shoes You'd know what a drag it is To see you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2188 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Regarding Neil Young, I'm reminded of the guitar solo on a version of "You Are Like A Hurricane", which I've heard a couple of times recently on the radio. It has to be the worst solo I've ever heard, not only because it's terrible, tuneless and interminable but because it ruins what would otherwise be a classic song. Not sure if this is just a live version, or the studio version, but it's bloody awful. And I like his stuff generally though, especially After the Goldrush.
