I wouldn't say I was a fan (I don't have any of his albums) but there are a few of his songs that I love.

The Times They Are A-Changin' definitely my favourite, though I think Eddie Vedder's live cover of it sounded better.

One of the most known from him up to now would be 'Hurricane' which he wrote when Rubin 'The Hurricane' Carter was incarcerated for a crime he did not commit.

Big fan. What he did for music was more important than the music he made, though. Basically, he couldn't sing well, and he decided he was going to be a singer anyway. Revolutionary. Paved the way for guys like Jimi Hendrix to decide the same thing.

Blood on the Tracks and Highway 61 Revisited are my two favorite Dylan albums.

The man is a well of creativity; as long as he has something to say, he will always find new ways to say it and sing it. He has always been true to song and performance -- and I would say he continues today at the top of his form. I can write an essay for each of Dylan's songs, if I wanted to. Then I could write one for each live performance of those songs. Incidentally (and very few critics or fans have come to grips with this yet), it is Dylan's work in the 70s, plus his live performances that, even more than his extraordinary and better-known creations of the 1960s, gives him his claim to immortality.

If I tried to tell you what I learned from listening to Dylan, we'd be here for months. The subtleties of Dylan's live performances -- timing, arrangement, voice, attitude -- are at the heart of his achievement as an artist. He was a hero of mine and still is, because his work still reflects the kind of deep-soul courage and integrity and commitment to personal and artistic growth that I've admired him for from the beginning.

Masters of War is my favorite song and i love the cover Eddie Verrer from pearl jam did, i have a couple of his old albums and one of his newer ones (i think 1997), and they're all pretty good
