Dylan Agonistes

Newsweek has somehow picked Dylan's Love and Theft as the 2nd best CD of the decade. No, not the 2nd best Dylan CD but second best by anyone. Now, you all know that I am a huge Dylan fan but come on -- especially when there was actually some, ahem, real theft involved in that record. Anyway, Newsweek goes further in encouraging kids to argue with their "boomer" parents (guilty) that the newer CD is as good as Blonde on Blonde. My own son wouldn't care, but anyone else? If it's a throw down, here below is just my first card, one of the lesser-known Blonde on Blonde numbers at that (Robbie on guitar). P.S. Highway 61 is actually the greatest Dylan album.

That's insane. While Love and Theft is a good album, it has nothing on Blonde on Blonde. However, I disagree with you on Highway. I happen to think Blood on the Tracks is his best album...actually just the best album of anyone ever anywhere.
