BEST BOB DYLAN ALBUM EVER ? BLONDE ON BLONDE?

What would you have to be to be the best album of all-time...
Well, you'd have to have lines like "the ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face...". You'd have to be "that thin, that wild mercury sound". And? Well, obviously, it's a wholly subjective thing. But you'd have to be an album to last forever, to constantly sound fresh and exciting, to provide more defining moments in music than any other...In short, you'd have to be 'Blonde On Blonde'. By Bob Dylan. This is my favourite quote by MARTIN DAWSON about BOB DYLANS BLONDE ON BLONDE a truly fitting tribute to a fantastic record. I remember the first time I heard this, A mate and I went wild camping in the mountains in SNOWDONIA in WALES, and I remember listening to this on a little ghetto blaster we had for these camping expeditions. This must have been about 1995 and I loved how fresh it sounded. My favourite song is SAD EYED LADY OF THE LOWLANDS. This is a remarkable record for its time and DYLAN was in his prime. This another album any half decent collection will contain. Go and buy and enjoy.....
