Electric Dylan

[Holden Caulfield]

You guys like electric dylan....?
I don't hate it, but I'm not a fan.

Loses the meaning a lot and the guitar can often sound whiney, the vocals get pushed to the back as well.

I can dig it.

It's good rock 'n' roll. I can definitely see why the fans were pissed, but it had to be done, he had to kill the hero worship. It was for both his good and the fans'. Che had to leave Cuba and Dylan had to go electric.

Maybe he had just said everything he had to say politically.

And "Dignity" is as political and as good as anything folk he ever did.

Dylan's electric transition marked the exact moment in the unfolding of the dialectic when the folk musician's historical role had passed and the entire genre became so much reactionary bourgeois decadence.

What a load of pretentious bullshit.

As for Dylan going electric, like his accustic music; mint.

I love it, I love most of Dylans stuff. I am told alot his songs say something about society, I don't hear it because I can't find the meaning in songs and analyse them like that but I do like his music, think it's great

Electric Dylan is great.

The best albums are the ones where he does both electric and acoustic brilliantly, like Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde On Blonde.

I can't really "choose" between electric and acoustic Dylan. They are both great in their own way. Emotionally I believe he was the best acoustically, when you are talking about raw emotion that is. The emotions of sadness and melancholy specifically is all the more beautifully portrayed when it's just him, the guitar and harmonica.

Good examples of this are Ballad Of Hollis Brown, One Too Many Mornings and The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carrol.

The emotion of jealousy and anger is definitely better portrayed when he's electric. Like A Rolling Stone, Maggie's Farm and I Want You come to mind.
