I realize this is a message board designed to celebrate the life and work of Bob Dylan; but would it not be fun to share your least favorite songs. Choose one, five or 100. For me, the answer is If Dogs Run Free.

Pledging My Time

A few that, while I don't hate them, they do very little for me:

Most Likely You'll Go Your Way
Series of Dreams(never understood why some people rate this so highly)
It's All Over Now, Baby Blue

Also, one song that I hear people say they dislike that I genuinely enjoy is Disease of Conceit; why is this song so unpopular?

Nice one Mez! If we combined your list and mine Bob's songbook would be virtually flawless. 8)

:shock: Jim, I like all of those.

If Dogs Run Free is the one i can't stand...and it really annoys me because it's on one of my favorite albums.

All The Tired Horses
My God They Killed Him

most of the songs on Good As I Been To You and World Gone Wrong do nothing for me. Though there are a few exceptions. His gospel albums have a few major duds on them. Particularly Man Gaves Name to All The Animals and Are You Ready.

Yeah. Series of Dreams. I don't get it.

The music is ......is.......I don't really know WHAT it is. I guess it's supposed to convey a dream-like state. What it conveys to me is how I feel when I'm seasick :? In other words the music sucks. And the lyrics.....well to be quite honest I don't even know what they're about because I can't get past the first 30 seconds or so. He says he's "thinking 'bout a series of dreams so I have no reason to doubt him. He probably should have quit at the 115th one and left it at that.

Checked the lyrics to Series of Dreams at bd.com.

Not very good. Not alot to say. They seem very jumbled.

^^ :lol: Well, i guess it's better that you just don't listen to Series of Dreams, then.
I like the way the music keeps building.

I see Rolling Thunder has one of my favorites on his list....All the Tired Horses.
No doubt i'm in the minority, but i love that song...i think it's beautiful. :)

Wiggle Wiggle is one i can't listen to.

Jim, the new avatar looks good!

No need to be rude. :?

I'm sure everyone's seen this, but here's a lovely video for 'Series of Dreams': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgqGUBP3Cx0

I can't even sit through 30 seconds of the song and you expect me to watch a 3 minute commercial BEFORE the video :o :?

I don't particularly care for "Series" either, but a Firefox add-on called TubeStop will at least enable you to suffer without (most) commercials.
