BleuPanda wrote:The basic idea is to rank the tracks off the album each week to see how each track compares to each other. It's an excuse to go back to classic albums and a way to gauge the best and worst tracks of the most acclaimed albums. Simply rank all the tracks from your favorite to your least.
I plan to go in cycles of decades with the 1950s and 2010s once every other cycle. I will go with the top album of each respective decade, but I might skip questionable albums (I doubt anyone wants to rank the tracks of 69 Love Songs, no matter how great the album is).
Also, if you missed an album that you want to rank, you can do so in this thread. Please keep it to 1 old album per week. I will update the results. Please don't bump previous threads. I'd like to keep everything in the current topic and the result topic.
Go ahead and bleach your hair blonde if you want. Bob Dylan understands.

1. Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again
2. Visions of Johanna
3. I Want You
4. Just Like a Woman
5. One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later)
6. Most Likely You'll Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine
7. Rainy Day Women #12 & 35
8. Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands
9. Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat
10. Pledging My Time
...after that Temporary Like Achilles, Absolutely Sweet Marie, Obviously 5 Believers, and 4th Time Around are all tied for 11th place. These are the weakest songs on the album, and it's interesting that they're all right next to one another. None of them are bad, but they're the least memorable and only really serve to pad out the album. Thankfully, the other ten songs on "Blonde on Blonde" are all pretty great.

I'll go ahead and rank them respectively from 11 to 14 if you opt to tie it. Sorry. Rules are rules.

While often cited as Dylan's best album, I have always felt this LP is clearly the weakest of Dylan's big four.

I could listen to Visions of Johanna and Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands everyday. Lyrically I prefer Visions of Johanna, and quite frankly I think Visions of Johanna has the best lyrics of any song I've ever heard.
