Subterranean Homesick Blues

I've decided that it's time for me to start catching up in the Bob Dylan section of my library, which I think is a very good decision. I've liked his stuff a lot for the past year or so now, but I was inspired recently after we covered him for a whole lecture in my History of Rock Music class last week. We just exited the rock's birth in the 50s and are now covering the emergence of folk/folk rock and the British invasion. Very glad I was able to get into that class. Definitely my favorite.Anyways, went out and bought Bringing It All Back Home, which is pretty much nothing short of fantastic. I had a lot to choose from between Blonde on Blonde, Highway 61 Revisited, and John Wesley Harding, as well as earlier stuff like The Times They Are A-Changin' and The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, but I chose this one for no particular reason (although I plan to add others in the not-to-distant future).Here's track number 1:

kat3260 says "Subterranean Homesick Blues" is still my favorite Dylan song to sing-along to :D "Don't wanna be a bum, you better chew gum, the pump don't work cause the vandals took the handles"

sam9muhr says That's cool. I wish I were in that class. But rather, I'm in Music Appreciation and rock music is covered all in one tiny chapter at the end; and it sucks because the writer of the book is too old and doesn't do justice to much past the '50s. It's cool to know about music from the beginning, but the History of Rock is what I'm really interested in.

kat3260 says There was a history of rock class at JMU (my alma mater) but it was always full before I enrolled :( I self-educated though

ZZTodd says Yeah, I barely got into mine. Like you said, it was almost full when I enrolled in it. My teacher is pretty cool and funny. We listen to some of the songs in class and other various stuff. He brought in a theremin one day and played it a little bit, and I had never seen one before, so I thought it was the coolest thing in the world.

kat3260 says Theremins are awesome!!! I don't know anyone who has one, though. I'd love to play with one of those things.

RodneyPWelch says Just a note to say that if you have absolutely nothing else, the key Dylan albums to own are Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, and Blonde on Blonde. There's obviously a whole lot of other stuff, and some younger fans would include Blood on the Tracks, which is fine, but Dylan really owned, shaped, influenced, dominated rock music in the mid-1960s and just about everything he made in that period is immortal. The three I cited are the peak of a very big pyramid.
