I like that outlook on him, Ann. I'm just a year younger than he was when he passed, and that is a little weird to think about, but many of us are getting there. He gave us some amazing work, as did the rest of the Wilburys.

Come to think of it, I'm kind of gobsmacked that Dylan and Lynne are the only two left. cry

As am I. And, much as I dislike admitting it, all things point to Dylan not being with us much longer. frown

I'm a huge Tom Petty fan and greatly lament his loss. Obviously, a huge Beatles fan, too, so that was a huge blow. Orbison had one of the most unique, angelic voices.

Lynne was the only one I hadn't heard of at the time. I'd heard many ELO songs but didn't know who they were by. Only in the last 2-3 years have I come to appreciate Lynne and ELO in a BIG way.

Never been a big Dylan fan. I admire his significance and artistry but feel no personal connection with his music. It's amazing, though, how the Wilburys brought out his fun side, something I and many others didn't know existed!.

I hadn't heard - is Dylan in poor health? I know he recently sold his catalog for a very large sum, but I had not heard anything about his health.

Lardy, yes pretty much the same, although I enjoyed Dylan as folk music was a great way to learn guitar, so there was a lot of his music in that book of songs from back in the day. And same for Petty & the Beatles.

But also same for Lynne and ELO. I definitely appreciate his music, its definitely groundbreaking and considerably advanced electronic music in the 70's and 80s (the man is a master producer), but I've not got the bug (but there's no doubt that it is good stuff).

The whole happenstance of how the group came to be is so cool, and I wish we saw more of that (I guess the closest that I'm aware of from today's musicians is the Highwomen group in Country).

As far as I know Dylan's health is okay, though he's nearly 80 and smoked for decades. I appreciate him a lot more as a songwriter than as a performer.

My favorite song from his latest album.

I'd agree with the songwriter take about Dylan, EDE. His performance style is definitely one that takes time, at least or modern sensibilities.

For example, I was driving my (almost) 16 year old home from school yesterday and I happened to come across "Like a Rolling Stone" on the radio and stuck with it She looked at me like I was an alien, but we talked about his contributions etc and she seemed more receptive (MOST LIKELY - she was humoring me), but she knows the Hendrix 'Watchtower' and had no idea that Dylan was the creator of that song. So I'll take the little wins with today's generation. lol

I love all five of the Wilburys. In fact, George Harrison is my favorite Beatle.

One of the best solo songs, elevated because of the David Gilmour solo at the end.

But I kinda do wish he'd not perform as much as well. I've seen him twice, in 1990 and in 2002, and they were great concerts. His more recent performances he REALLY relies on the band.

I'm definitely a Lennon/McCartney guy, even though I love George (and Ringo), as well.

You really can't go wrong with any of them - although I tend to be a bit more selective about which of the solo Lennon work that I like

Same here as far as solo Lennon goes, GL.

I do love "Number 9 Dream."

Nice selection! I will say that I think the work that came out of the Lost Weekend timeframe was some of his best, even though that included a decent amount of covers.

Too many good music links got munched in the Legion World Great Crisis. Not that I'm Queen of the Board or anything, but from now on I'm gonna describe/name whatever I post, just in case we lose them again. I'd suggest everyone do that if they have time.

Anyway, Antietam's "Attract Mode" (2004) ... still a huge favorite of mine after all these years. No one does longing like this group. (I named a fanfic chapter after this song once. Heh.)

Oh, and apologies to the fans here, but I'll take this disc over anything by most 1980s super-groups (The Wilburys, The Honeydrippers, etc.) any day of the week:

Band of Susans, "Pardon My French" (1995) :

This popped on my playlist today and kind of knocked me sideways. I remember hearing it and enjoying it when it was first released, but maybe the last year has made it more emotionally relevant:

Ivy - I forgot to add - '99 popped up on the same list. I wasn't familiar with Barns Courtney before, but that's cool serendipity - he's on my list now!

I prefer his more reflective, introspective songs (which often do bring out his witty side) to what he came to sardonically call "The Finger-Pointin' Songs."

My parents are/were big snobs who just pretended that Dylan had passed on once he went electric.

At least I'm not quite THAT hidebound about my musical tastes anymore, though I can still be kind of snob.

I fondly remember the first time I heard "Everybody Must Get Stoned" on FM radio and thought to myself, "Wow why does this guy sing like Tom Carvel? Why does this sound like someone tried to play a polka LP but they keep pressing their thumb down on the record while it tries to turn?"

I think I must have had no idea that this was THE Bob Dylan whose folk songs my own folks used to love so much.

To be fair, it's Tom Waits who REALLY sounds like the Tom Carvel of singer-songwriters. evil
