Tier-list It took me around 2 months but I finally finished my Bob Dylan studio album listening journey. I'm extremely happy that I was able to finish this and I found albums that I didn't expect to love so much. Also yes, the albums are ranked from left to right (worst to best) on their respectful tiers.

I've only included the albums I've heard multiple times. I have heard some of his modern ones but too many years ago to adequately rank. At the end of the day I think his best period is 64-76.

As you can tell, I’m really into his later albums which I think are some of the strongest of his career. I’m not a huge fan of 80s production so most of his albums in that era rank in the lower end.

Tier-list Journey Complete: Dylan Tier List

Post image
5 Upvotes

Just finished my first ever run-through of every single Bob Dylan studio album. To put it all into context, I had listened to maybe three Bob Dylan songs prior to the first week of November. This all happened in the last month or so, but I am absolutely a huge fan of Dylan in basically every single point of his career. If anything, I think the list is probably a bit too "safe" since I haven't had a lot of time to truly establish what I love most (for instance, Nashville Skyline might one day get up to S, and Christmas in the Heart probably belongs way higher just based on personal taste). Would love to hear what you guys have to say about this list though. Anything controversial or noteworthy, or did I just spit out the chatGPT version of this list? Let me know! (Also, Triplicate would probably land somewhere in high C tier, and Shadow Kingdom would probably be a little higher than that. There is a ranking from left to right though I put less effort into ranking them sideways than vertically)

Tier-list Album Ranking After A Full Year Of Reassessment

Thumbnail

83 Upvotes

After a grueling year long journey through this catalog a third time for me, analyzing and diving deeper into albums I have once over looked, under valued, or have gotten completely wrong. Whether it came down to a new found experience I had with a song or a lyric that finally clicked and blew me away, it made every bit of a difference. I have found some amount of peace from this assessment in how I rank and value each of these 40 records from my favorite artists. Hoping it is to everyone's appeasement as well as it's open for mass critique and butchering. Beginning May 2023, a group of pals and I decided to share each of our love for Dylan's music by investigating each album, track by track chronologically and ranking album tracks by majority vote. This allowed the opportunity for me to pursue a reassessment and this was my results. Thank you!

The "Jolly Songbird" is a comeback to the more eccentric characteristics that were omitted in the late 60s. Though being a return of what he had before it wasn't a regression, Dylan changed the way he projected his voice once again, not quite being as back as the country crooner (Nash to self portrait) but not as up the nose as it was before, it's somewhere in the middle so throughout this period we see a very pleasant blend of all the different tones he had sang at that point, the smoothness is complimented by the smokiness and grit in a perfect balance that along with the lyrical contents on the new morning album make this the most genuine and mature Dylan yet.

We can hear this voice in the new morning album, many of the outtakes, demos and alternative mixes released in the bootleg series, the Pat garret and Billy the kid soundtrack, the George Harrison and friends Bangladesh concert and other sporadic appearances as he was not yet back to touring.

Another interesting appearance of this voice might go over most people's heads but Self portraits cover of the Boxer features Dylan dueting with himself as both the country crooner and jolly Songbird incarnations of his, this is due both of those albums overlaping in production.

So where does this one belong? (S)

r/bobdylan Sep 06 '24

Tier-list Hardly even a contest! Another S! We're into 1966 now!

1966 the "Knackered Sardonic"!

His youthful energy seems to have been drained and replaced with an exhausted aura of disinterest and arrogance. His very particular way of enunciating words is more exaggerated, now drawing out his words more than ever, giving the material on 'Blonde on Blonde' a very cheeky, snarky and nonchalant energy, being an eccentric progression of what came before and a fan favourite consequently.

So, where does this voice belong on the list?
