the rocklist site, James. Keep in mind that the top 20 doesn't include anything from Revolver, since that album was cited as *the* album to have.

A friend got me the issue, but I haven't seen it yet.

JR,
Madonna and U2 may *deserve* being in the absurdly small group of essential acts, but you gotta agree with Jacek that it's slightly unexpected, compared to what critics usually do with such exclusive praise, right?

Personally I don't have an opinion on Madonna, but one thing I've learned from visiting this forum is I'd better check up on her soon :-)

Jacek,
If forced at gunpoint to choose only one Dylan studio album, I'd go with Blood On The Tracks too. I guess his mid-60'es albums were more original and influential, but there's a coherence and an all-pervading atmosphere to B.O.T.T. which is irresistible to me.

Huh? I didn't make any comments about "Blood on the Tracks" in this thread. But you happen to be right, Snusmumrik, that I don't like this album much. "Idiot Wind" is marvelous, his best song by a long shot, but that's it. Then again Dylan is definitely not among my favourite artists, as I find most of his music boring.

Whoops, sorry, Jacek,

That was JR too, and not you asking "Do people agree with the albums picked for the essential acts? ... what about Dylan's Blood on the Tracks?" :-)
