Top 10 Overlooked Bob Dylan Songs

By Douglas Wolk

Half a century into his career, Bob Dylan's amassed a gigantic catalogue of original material. He's released a string of greatest-hits albums, and his touring repertoire is well over 100 songs. But he's also got some remarkable songs that have been overshadowed by their companions — songs that, in anyone else's career, would be high points. In honor of Dylan's 70th birthday, we invite you to listen to these overlooked gems in isolation, away from the… more »

Icon: Bob Dylan

They Say All Media Guide

Bob Dylan’s first greatest-hits album was released in 1967, and his second in 1971. Twenty-three years later came his third, and it’s a reasonable compilation of the better-known songs he produced over the period, notably standards like “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” and “Forever Young,” Dylan chart hits like “Tangled up in Blue” and “Hurricane,” songs that have been covered extensively by other singers, such as “Ring Them Bells,” and some of the better album tracks, such as “Changing of the Guard” and “Brownsville Girl.” In an effort to span the period, a few lesser, later songs such as “Silvio” and “Under the Red Sky” are included, while some stronger, earlier songs are not (“Simple Twist of Fate,” “Senor,” “Emotionally Yours,” and “Everything Is Broken”). But on the whole, the selection is excellent, and this is the album to get for that Dylan fan who stopped listening to him at the end of the ’60s. (Includes the previously unreleased 1989 track “Dignity.”) – William Ruhlmann
