i feel ya, man! and i love the hazards of love, too...live they were the most boring concert ever....but love their albums..

Wha? Did you see them play The Hazards of Love live? That was a great show!

i saw them do their 3 night run at the Beacon (or was it 5?) they kicked off the tour for the last album ...a couple years ago? not sure if you mean the song or the album live...

Hmm, I guess that would have been for The King Is Dead, eh? What I was referring to was the tour for The Hazards of Love (2009, I think), in which they played the entire album for the first set, with Becky Stark and Shara Worden, then played other stuff in a second set. I saw that in Tulsa and I loved it. Stark and Worden joined again for the encore, where they sang Crazy on You.

Wish I had seen it live.  The Hazards of Love was so under-rated in my opinion.  If my memory serves, the reviews were mediocre at best and they got a lot of shit about the concept, if not the execution.  I think it's an amazing piece of work as a whole, and is easily my favorite album of theirs.  They may have made better individual songs, but straight through that album was great, and the cohesion/concept didn't detract, but enhanced the individual pieces.  Whatever, I am going to go listen to it right now, haven't heard it in over a year.  Thanks for the reminder.

[FiddleCastro]

God, I could do so many. I will probably start listing them soon, but these are the bands I know I could do it for: The Who, The Clash, Clutch, Elton John, etc. I'll post em eventually!

Yeah, those Beacon shows kinda sucked... Saw them at Bonnaroo a few months later and they were great... and my friend saw them in 2009 and said they were one of the best shows he's ever seen.

Bob Dylan

Not Dark Yet
Jokerman
Shelter From The Storm
Where Are You Tonight?
Idiot Wind
Just Like Tom Thumb Blues
Mr. Tambourine Man
Visions Of Johanna
I Threw It All Away (live from Hard Rain)
The Man In Me
I Believe In You
Every Grain Of Sand
Tomorrow Is A Long Time

I'm kinda surprised no Dylan fans here have jumped on this bandwagon with me. When I did this list, I just did it in my head.  I listened to it last night and I was way into it! Dylan is a fucking genius.  Not a news flash, I know, but these songs in this sequence kinda blew me away all over again.  It took me back to being 16 and feeling that thrill and wonder of discovery when listening to songs like Mr. Tambourine Man for the first hundred times. Dylan's music took me by force at that age when I was mostly listening to Zeppelin, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Rush, Yes, and the more radio friendly 60s and 70s rock.  It was reading about Dylan in all the books and then hearing The Byrds cover his songs that opened the doors to Dylan for me. When I "got it", I got it HARD.  So many great songs he's written over the years.  Where Are You Tonight? is a relatively under-recognized masterpiece.   Check this shit out, people!  How about the layers and layers of verses spat with an increasing sense of urgency until it explodes into a sweet guitar solo.  Not a great recording, but its on Street Legal, 1978.

I'm too busy listening to my RUSH mix. 

Man, if you loved my Rush mix, and I am sure you do/did/was/were/am/are what I am willing to do is sort of like a year long immersion into Rush where I will keep a journal of my everyday "Rush" moments and my reflections as to which songs would fit into these situations, probably a list of 1-5 and I figure I have 7-8 of these a day,so, something like a variation of up to 40 Rush songs and I could also mix 'n match them you know, like having #1 from the first moment and #2 from the second, etc.... or like #3 from 1 and 5 from 2 and 2 from 3, and so forth and what not and such as, so we're looking at something like 35 possible lists a day or 40, I can't do crazy math like that, but I would be willing to burn CD's for you and like I said, for a year, be like 14,622 CD's I could mail you come January 1st 2014 and then you could listen to them and tell me which ones are your favorites or not so much, wondering how much my mood would transpose on the conditionality of your own self formulating and regulating your own feelings ie emotions ie wonderings ie stirring about my Rush CD's like right now I feel a list coming on and I call it

Manic

1. YYZ
2. Didacts and Narpets
3. By-Tor and the Snow Dog
4. The Analog Kid
5. One Little Victory

Pink Floyd, my first true love:

Echoes
Breathe
Us and Them
Mother
Green Is The Colour
Fat Old Sun
Have a Cigar
Dogs
In the Flesh
Comfortably Numb
Shine On (I - V)
Brain Damage
Eclipse

My Morning Jacket, my second true love: (I avoided any covers due to the limited amount of songs, and I made the most mind-blowing 13 song set I could dream up)

The Dark
Lay Low
Anytime
O Is The One That Is Real
Xmas Curtain
I Will Sing You Songs
I Think I'm Going To Hell
Strangulation
Run Thru
Smokin' From Shootin'
Dondante
Steam Engine
Phone When West

That is a great, epic MMJ mix! 

I always have a hard time making Floyd mixes, because I always feel the songs belong next to one another the way they came on the LPs!  Nothing from Obscured By Clouds?  I know its ...obscure..., but I love that record so much.

I'll take a shot at Dylan 2.0, even though you already stole Idiot Wind and Visions of Johanna.

Most Likely You'll Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)
Isis
Lay, Lady, Lay
One Of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later)
The Times They Are A Changin'
Positively 4th Street
Joey
Fourth Time Around
Queen Jane Approximate
As I Went Out One Morning
Hurricane
Simple Twist of Fate
Stuck Inside of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again

Bonus track: Ballad of Frankie Lee And Judas Priest

That was hard.

When I was younger, and a retro-pseudo-hippy, I never got into Dylan, didn't think I liked his voice.  I too was into plenty of semi-crappy 70s rock at that point, along with plenty of great stuff - Zeppelin, Floyd, Hendrix, CSN&Y, etc., but Dylan just never figured into the mix.  It was kinda the same with the Beatles and Stones, but they were a bit more on my radar.  I guess it wasn't until my early thirties that I really started developing an appreciation for Dylan (or the Beatles and Stones frankly).  Glad I did, I feel like my musical life wouldn't be complete without him.

[MamaKel]

Masters of War
Hard Rains A Gonna Fall
Tomorrow Is A Long Time
Love Minus Zero
It's Alright Ma
Visions of Johanna
Sad Eyed Lady
Girl From The North Country (w/Johnny Cash)
Man In Me
Shelter From The Storm
Buckets of Rain
You're A Big Girl Now
Percy's Song

There are so many on yours that I totally agree with, but had to leave off...along with Dear Landlord, Oh, Sister, Every Grain of Sand...and a million more. So I guess this is what I would put together given my current mood
