Here's #s 137-101 in order from low to high. Actually 102, since there was a tie at 100. This is everything that got 50 points or more. I didn't bother point ranking lower than that, because there were so many songs with one or two votes. (This is not in a spreadsheet, fwiw -- had to come up with an esoteric system of my own, because I don't have a good spreadsheet program on my battered old Macbook.)

Not a single song from Self-Portrait made the cut? Outrageous.
By my count, Blonde on Blonde had the most songs that made the list with 10, followed by BIABH with 9 and HW61 with 8. But every song on BIABH and HW61 made it except Meet Me in the Morning and From a Buick 6.
The main thing that struck me about the results is that newer Dylan is still underappreciated. Standing in the Doorway, Summer Days, Po' Boy, Sugar Baby, Spirit on the Water, When the Deal Goes Down, Workingman's Blues, Life is Hard, Long and Wasted Years, Pay in Blood . . . Some of these should have made it.
Surprised more songs from Oh Mercy didn't make it. Especially my sentimental favorite, Shooting Star.

I thought I would put a lot of TooM, L&T, MT & Tempest on my ballot, but in the end I just didn't find it as insanely good as the "golden era" stuff. Would be nice to do a post-Desire poll some day.

Wish I hadn't been so busy at work this week, but great job.
1. “Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues” (40)2. “It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry” (36)3. “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35” (33)4. “I’ll Keep It with Mine” (1965 Revisited version, the one with the Tom Wilson studio banter—“Got a mike for John?”) (30)5. “Desolation Row” (28)6. “Positively 4th Street” (26)7. “She Belongs to Me” (25)8. “You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere” (Greatest Hits Volume II version, the one with “Pack up your money, put up your tent McGuinn”) (24)9. “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” (23)10. “Tiny Montgomery” (22)11. “Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?” (21)12. “Like a Rolling Stone” (20)13. “Tangled Up in Blue” (19)14. “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” (18)15. “Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again” (17)16. “I Want You” (16)17. “Lay Lady Lay” (15)18. “Buckets of Rain” (14)19. “Mr. Tambourine Man” (13)20. “Maggie’s Farm” (12)21. “Baby, Let Me Follow You Down” (Royal Albert version) (10)22. “Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands” (10)23. “Shelter from the Storm” (10)24. “Girl from the North Country” (Nashville Skyline version) (10)25. “Goin’ to Acapulco” (10)
Fine with "Like a Rolling Stone" at #1. It's been amazingly immune to overkill with me over the years--I change the station within five seconds of "Satisfaction" or "Won't Get Fooled Again" or countless other such songs, but I don't ever remember a time where that's been the case with "Like a Rolling Stone."

The main thing that struck me about the results is that newer Dylan is still underappreciated.
Not compared to the other ballot polls we've done. The post-78 Who and post-83 Bowie tracks that placed high seemed like outliers; not in Dylan's case.
I think Dylan's greatest achievement was outliving his own legend.

I had it in my top 10, but was rooting against as the votes came in just for the sake of novelty. Not bothered by it's win -- it's an anthem with a huge hook, great band and arrangement, and some of his best singing and phrasing. So much fun to hear him land on the rhyme at the end of each stanza -- didn't you/kiddin you, juiced in it/used to it, got it made/pawn it babe.

"Fun"--that's it. I don't get that out of the two songs I mentioned, not anymore, anyway. "Like a Rolling Stone" is never not fun--which sounds absurd, because it's so much more than that, but it almost starts with how much fun it is (especially, to state the obvious, how much fun it is singing along).

the live version of 'lars' in life lessons is what prompted me as a youth to check out dylan, i'm sure i had some vague familiarity w/ him before but it was life lessons that made me go 'ok i need more of this now' (in another universe i become a big procol harum fan). movie also seeded scorsese obsession and in turn brief cineaste phase as well as interest in abstract expressionism and in turn modern art. it caught me at the right moment (14) but fucking loved that movie.

Ha, I'd forgotten 'Conquistador' was in that segment. Haven't sent that movie since 1989, but I can still hear the reverberations of that version of "Like A Rolling Stone."
(And which one is that, anyway? Is it from Before the Flood?)
