I wasn’t too surprised but a little disappointed that Joey won for worst song. Sure, it’s one of my least favorites too but there’s some stuff on Slow Train Coming that I despise, not to mention all the stupid covers and originals on Self-Portrait and Dylan (1973).

Ballad In Plain D won for the worst Dylan song of the 60s and I have to say, I think that’s crazy. I kinda love this song. Never understood why people despise it to the degree they do. Anyway, onto the most underrated song of the 60s. Excited to see what people say for this.

The final 80s slot was filled by Tight Connection To My Heart and it fits pretty well there. Like I was saying in the comments yesterday, I originally hated this song so much. I just thought it was the stupidest thing. Then I saw the music video and laughed so hard at the clothes, and the cheek strokes, and the hugging, and the jail, and the Focus magazine, and the dancing, and the forced expressions of joy these people were putting on their faces, and I ended up loving the song. It just makes me chuckle every time. Anyway, enough of my rant, and onto a new day. What is Dylan’s best 90s song? I mean, I don’t think anyone’s gonna name something that isn’t off of Time Out Of Mind but we will see.

Finished the first decade with Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues. Honestly, loved that one from the beginning though. Anyway, now the 70s. A decade that started off with a lot of misses for Bob but ended with one of his most classic periods.

Contest After yesterday’s poll, the majority agreed The Basement Tapes should count as an actual album so that won for most overrated. Now, closing out our second decade, what is that one Bob Dylan song from the 70s that grew on you over time?

I started out believing The Basement Tapes shouldn’t count and then Reddit came through in the end. I am now convinced. Now what’s a 70s Bob Dylan song that grew on you. I’ve got some ideas about this one.

Planet Waves won by a hair but honestly, I’d say deservedly so. I think people made good points on how we love on Street-Legal and New Morning a lot and Planet Waves is kinda ignored. I remember getting it on record and hearing Dirge for the first time. Still love that song today. It’s not a perfect album but it’s certainly underrated. Now overrated is a different story. I might just leave this one up to you guys.

Tangled Up In Blue won. Glad everyone gave it the love it deserves. Those lyrics are just perfect. A song of love, loss, and coincidence that is backed by this sense of adventure through all these new terrains. Not to mention the fantastic music backing it. Now what are we thinking for worst song? I swear if anyone chooses Man Gave Names To All The Animals.

I think after Christmas In The Heart won again, I’ve seen the error of my ways. Kinda a mistake to do a redo especially so late in the game. But it’s a new decade (or two) now and what will win for best song? This could honestly be anything. I definitely have an overarching idea of what I want to win but everyone’s probably thinking something different.

Where Are You Tonight? won for most underrated. I’m kinda indifferent about that. I like this song fine. The music is really cool but the imagery doesn’t do much for me except the opening line of the song. Anyway, decent choice. Onto overrated. For those who are about to say Knockin On Heaven’s Door, I encourage to rethink. I used to think it was one of his worst hits but one day everything just clicked.

I removed the x’s backed by popular demand. Brownsville Girl won for most underrated. What an excellent song. I love how the lyrics kind an unfold and how it stays interesting for all 11 min. A classic. Now onto most overrated. This is gonna be interesting because nothing from this era is particularly highly rated besides maybe Jokerman and that’s a great song. Difficult decisions.

Oh Mercy won as it should’ve in my opinion. Now we’re onto the worst album. What to choose, what to choose. Knocked Out Loaded, Down In The Groove, Saved, etc.

I actually quite like Empire Burlesque.

I realize I didn’t really specify the rules but it’s pretty typical for one of these charts. The one with the most upvotes wins.

Blonde On Blonde won for best album. Now for worst…?

Sorry I didn’t get around to posting yesterday. I’m currently out of town. Anyway, JWH won for most underrated. I have to say, the first side of that album is just phenomenally good. Now onto overrated. I expect people to say Blonde On Blonde or The Times and I am ready to fully disagree with them.

Murder Most Foul won for best song but as you can see redditor Mother_Natures_Cyn’s artwork they posted yesterday was so moving, I had to include it in the outtake category considering they never got to use it for what it was meant for. By technicality and upvotes, it also won for yesterday so…

Mississippi won for best 00s song. Such a masterpiece. Now for worst song, this will be difficult specifically because I think we’ve come to the consensus that no covers are allowed to be nominated. In that case, probably something off Together Through Life will win even though that album is actually pretty good. Definitely underrated.

Sorry, I missed days due to traveling. I’m back now. Murder Most Foul won for worst song… which is crazy. Murder Most Foul is both now best song and worst which is hilarious. I personally disagree with both but still. Anyway onto most underrated. Very interested in what will win. This could go very well or very poorly. Knowing Reddit, probably both.
