Only one for me. Bob.
Tom Waits is OK.
Springsteen is about as appealing as the Ditzy Chicks.

It makes you wonder how these musical old farts end up in the top ten; I can't imagine too many people under 35-40 who would want to listen to Dylan or Springsteen. Are boomers still shelling out the big bucks for these guy? I know I'm not.

Went to a Dylan show in October. Amazed at the number of highschool and college kids there - in addition to us old farts. Lotsa girls too.
Unlike most old timers, Dylan has not been resting on his laurels. His last 3 albums have been top notch.

I'm not at all surprised. At first I really liked two cuts from the album and each time I listened I found myself liking another and then another. There's not one song on Modern Times that I can say I don't care for. It's Dylan's best work, ever.

I saw him in the mid-80s and he totally blew (and I own just about all of his albums up through Desire); we walked out halfway into his show and I became a non-believer right then, right there!
To: Cagey
Cagey, I wouldn't go that far. LOL

Thats too bad. He was excellent each time I've seen him, including in Oct. His voice is a croak, but it still works.

It think "Bat Out of Hell 3" should be runner-up. (This may drum me out of the Hard Rock Club, but I just love that album.)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!
I'm sure the bootleggers will put together a " Modern Times" Live cd soon.
I'll make sure to get it and offer it as a freebie to the members of the Ping List!
"Beyond the Horizon" and "Someday Baby" have not been played live yet but all the others have.
I'll send an update when a release comes through.

Bob was really bad live for a lot of 1985-1989 so I don't blame you. He really has improved since 1991 and really got it together since 1998.

I thought his voice on "Modern Times" was terrific. I can't hear "Beyond the Horizon" without humming along.
My favorite cut on the album is "When the Deal Goes Down." How can anyone hear that song and not know Dylan is still a believer?

Cool. I do think Someday Baby has been played live, if memory serves me. Though I can't swear to it. If not, just toss in Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat instead. ;o)

Yep, that song ain't about a chickee.
When he sings the phrase "the Bells of Saint Mareeeeeeees" on Beyond the Horizon it sounds like Bob from 40 years ago, I swear.
