Then a holding action while Dylan unloaded his head after his May 1966 motorcycle crash, now a nostalgia merit badge for boomers and a course in Dylan 101 for '90s newcomers, Greatest Hits stands up remarkably well as a listening experience. Smartly programmed to ride all over any residual worries about acoustic-vs.-electric authenticity--in fact, blowing a raspberry in their face by opening with the Salvation-Army-band blast of "Rainy Day Women #12 and 35"--this best-of stacks AM smashes and protest anthems together in celebration of a pop star like no other before. --Rickey Wright

Great hits, not greatest.......2007-07-03

CD okay. Like BOB? Get "No Direction Home" double disc. It is great. Young Bob Dylan that is not yet commercilaized.

Bob's biggest.......2007-06-21

There's just 10 tracks on here, so of course it doesn't exhaust Bob's body of work. But the 10 that are here are all good, Bob's most recognzied and beloved stuff. An excellent quick shot of Dylan. Definitely worth having.

Had trouble with vendor........2007-02-02

Item never came. However in their defense refund was promptly given out. I only wish that I had a chance to receive this one.

BOB DYLANS GREATEST HITS.......2007-01-15

Hadn't heard these songs for years - just as I remembered them, especially " Positively 4th Street". Dylan was ahead of his time & has certainly stood the test of time. Was very pleased with condition/prompt delivery, thanks!

Musical Genius? Is that an appropiate title? I think it sounds lame........2007-01-10

As the title suggests, it's greatest, the greatest. Bob Dylan is infallible. End of story. That's it. That's where it is. That's where it's going to be. It's not going to change. Done. I'm done. This was my review.

This time selected and programmed by the man himself, the two-disc second installment in Dylan's Greatest Hits series comes off as much more idiosyncratic than its brother, famed songs ("Lay Lady Lay," "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall") notwithstanding. An even richer cut-by-cut listen than the earlier best-of, this 1971 set masterfully casts the classics into new light and adds previously non-LP singles (the smashing "Watching the River Flow," with the Amazon.com fave line "People disagreein' just about everywhere you look / Makes you wanna stop and read a book; let's have lunch, Bob"), a then-unheard live 1963 "Tomorrow Is a Long Time," and new, stunning, off-the-cuff takes of "I Shall Be Released," "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere," and "Down in the Flood." --Rickey Wright

Should have been on a single disc.......2007-04-08

Only complaint I have is this should have been on 1 disc. Disc 1 is 36 minutes flat & disc 2 is 42:23. All 21 tracks could have easily fit on one space-saving 78 minute disc. Only way to justify this being on 2 discs would be to include at least 1 bonus track, which Columbia has done on some other artists' reissues. Other labels have reissued 2 LP sets on 1 CD, such as Jimi Hendrix's Electric Ladyland, The Who's Tommy & Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, so they should have done that with this album.

Dylan Fans.......2007-02-22

Bob Dylan is always at his best, but this time he may be more on top than usual. The music is fresh, concise, and delivered with enthusiasm. It reminds me of a time when the music and the story were the most important issues.

Staying Alive with Bob .......2007-01-04

My husband gave away our old stereo equipment, including the Thorens record changer. What is a girl to do? I bought my favorite tunes from Amazon! Can't live without Bob. I got his 2006 album as well. Yah! Good!

The Best Dylan Hits Collection.......2006-11-04

The first Dylan hits collection has all the famous stuff from the mid-Sixties: Blowing in the Wing, Mr. Tambourine Man, Like a Rolling Stone, The Times They Are A-Changin' etc. Those songs are indispensable to any rock collection.

But I think I like volume two better. This collection has twice as many songs as the first hits album, and the songs are mesmerizingly beautiful and skillfully written.

Another reason why I like this collection better than volume one is because the songs on volume one have been played to death on the radio. I love the melodious pop folk sounds of "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue, "My Back Pages," and "I Shall Be Released."

I also like the hard rocking "Maggie's Farm," the soft rocking "All Along the Watchtower," the country melody of "If Not For You,' aw heck, I like them all.

It should also go without saying that every single Dylan album from the 1960s is absolutely 5 star material, and some of his later albums are vastly unappreciated (Slow Train Coming, Infidels).

I highly recommend Greatest Hits Volume two as a great place to experience the diverse and beautiful sounds of Bob Dylan.

a really great collection.......2006-08-29

the funniest thing ,i think, about this album is that it came out in the 90s.his 1st greatest hits album came out in 73.that was supposed to cover 73 and back.this new one sgould have picked up in 74 and went till its realease.however all the songs are oldies from the 60s,hinting maybe the 70s and 80s werent nearly as good.anyhow,theres "dont think twice its alright"-catchy."lay lady lay"-a beautiful love song."stuck inside mobile with the memphis blues again"-upbeat and catchy."ill be your baby tonight"-a sort of love dovey song abour a one night stand.only dylan!!!!!!!!!!"all i really want to do"-lyrical genius!"my back pages" is a song about reversing the aging process."maggies farm" is the dylan equivelant of "take this job and shove it!"."tonight ill be staying here with you" is good just like all the rest.ok disc 1 is down .now disc 2."she belongs to me" still sounds fine."all along the watchtower" is classic!then theres "mighty quinn the eskimo"-wtf???????????and "just like tom thumb blues".i guess they canr all be winners.then "a hard rain is gonna fall" a jim morrison like song but full of love like john lennon."if not for you"is singable."its all over now baby blue" is very pretty.then a few extras for space i think.this album kicks butt!

Great Collection.......2006-11-10

This is a great collection of Bob Dylan's work. There's no way that they could put all of the songs you need from Dylan on one disc but they did there best to include everything. If you get this with the other volumes of greatest hits you are well on your way to having an awesome set.

an awesome album.......2006-08-28

i guess bob was tired od the critics and decided to remind them how good he is and so we got greatest hits vol 3.the opener is "tangled up in blue".it goes on and on about what im not sure,but musicly its sound."changing of the guards" goes on and on but with no stick.onto the rocking "the grooms still waiting at the alter".he says a line i think is funny on this one."she could be respectfully married or running a wh%re house in buenis aries".lol.then "hurricane",a true story about a frame job on a black guy.then the very touching "forever young".its one of my top 5 fave dylan tunes.since we are on the subject of greatest hits...heres my top 5....not in order......[mr tambourine man,forever young,blowin in the wind,standing in the doorway and all i really want to do].anyhow,the epic "jokerman" spins next.its wonferful.theres a couple so so songs called "dignity" and "sergio".dignity at least was trancendendant but segio just wasnt all that."ring them bells" is a listenable church song full of inspiration."gotta serve somebody" was rather redundant."series of dreams" was just weird."brownsville girl" is another one of those good but long songs rgar doesnt really seem to be going anywhere."under the red sky"was ok i guess.lastly there was "knocking on heavens door".this song was great but tragicly short and not even axl roses singing the chorus over and over a billion times changes that.a great album.if you count every live,best of and studio album,itd only be topped by greatest hits 1 and 2,bringing it all back home and blonde on blonde.

ANOTHER LOOK FROM BOB .......2006-06-27

THIS IS MAINLY A COMPILATION OF WORK FROM VARIOUS PERIODS THAT DID NOT MEET SUCCESS WITH DYLAN'S TRADITIONAL FOLK AND FOLK ROCK AUDIENCES AND WAS REISSUED AFTER HIS REEMERGENCE AS AN ICON IN THE EARLY 1990'S. I PLAN TO DO A LONGER REVIEW OF DYLAN'S EARLY WORKS WHICH I AM BOTH MORE FAMILIAR WITH AND WHICH HAD MORE OF AN EFFECT ON MY GENERATION OF '68. THAT SAID, THERE ARE SOME GOOD SONGS HERE SUCH AS GOTTA SERVE SOMEONE AND BROWNSVILLE GIRL. FOREVER YOUNG HAS TAKEN ITS PLACE AS THE CLASSIC OF BABY-BOOMERS (INCLUDING THIS WRITER)TRYING TO STAVE OFF OLD (OR IS IT MIDDLE) AGE. DIGNITY STANDS OUT AS A SENSITIVE WORK CALLING TO OUR ATTENTION HOW VERY LITTLE DIGNITY THIS SOCIETY AFFORDS MOST PEOPLE. ENOUGH SAID.

A Series of Fine Songs.......2006-05-20

This is a very good record in it's own right. In fact because of the many different styles Dylan uses, it kind of reminds my of a Beatles' record. You know, how the Beatles would switch the lead singer from song to song between John, Paul, George and Ringo. I think because of that Beatles' records never get old. This record is like that. Dylan's voice is so different from song to song, the bands are different. It seems like a record full of surprises, one I know I'll never get tired of and I don't think you'll ever tire of it either.

Dylan Just Keeps Getting Better.......2006-05-20

"In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors, looking into the lost forgotten years for dignity." What a line, delivered the way only Dylan can deliver them. The years just roll on and he just keeps getting better. Like a shape changer he keeps changing, redefining himself, putting out new stuff, rereleasing his old stuff, putting out his live stuff and I am always amazed. When I first got this album (I bought it on cassette), I stuck it into the play in my car, because I couldn't wait to get home. "Tangled Up in Blue" came on and I immediately forgot that I was listening to a Greatest Hits record, was taking right back to the first time I'd heard "Blood on the Tracks" and I stayed right there till "Changing of the Guard" came on, not the song I was expecting, but I was immediately hooked right in. Then right onto "The Groom's Still Waiting at the Alter", a down right rocker with a heck of a Gospel flavor. Next comes "Hurricane" a song with a different band, different flavor and that is the genius of Bob Dylan. He can pull you in any direction he wants you to go and you follow.

There is nothing much to say about Bob Dylan. If Amazon had a 10 star rating. then I would give it some thought! Buy it!

A Good Overview of Bob Dylan's Career.......2007-03-05

Unlike other Bob Dylan compliations, (The single disc The Best Of Bob Dylan and the double disc The Essential Bob Dylan)This is a thorough collection of Dylan's best songs. Blowin In The Wind, The Times They Are A-Changin', Subterranean Homesick Blues, Maggie's Farm, Mr. Tambourine Man, Like A Rolling Stone, Positively Fourth Street, I Want You, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, All Along The Watchtower, Lay Lady Lay, The Mighty Quinn, Knockin On Heaven's Door, Tangled Up In Blue, and Hurricane are all here. If you are into Dylan and want all of his good songs, get this.

So Many Songs to Choose From, How Did They Ever Decide?.......2006-04-03

I really like Bob Dylan's first Greatest Hits record. I love "Tambourine Man", love the subtle electric guitar. I adore "It Ain't Me Babe," it ain't no stinkin' love song. And neither is "Positively 4th Street." These are bitter and biting songs that grip like glue. "If you were standing in my shoes, you'd know what a drag it is to see you." What a line. Nobody writes them like Bob Dylan. "Rolling Stone", "Rainy Day Woman," and "I Want You," three jumpin' rockers. And then there is "Just Like a Woman," Lord I love that song that shows what a mesmerizing voice Dylan can have when he wants to. And, of course, I can't forget that song that is almost impossible to sing along with, " Subterranean Homesick Blues." Try memorizing the lyrics to that one, try singing them without the record playing. Was Dylan ahead of his time? You betcha.

There is a song on Dylan's second Greatest Hits record "Tomorrow is a Long Time," which is just about one of the best songs I've every heard. It's from a concert that, if all of the performances were delivered this well, then I don't know why they didn't release the whole show. Also I agree that it would have been nice to have a whole record of Bob Dylan and Happy Traum together. It also would have been nice to have a whole record produced by Leon Russell, because as we see with the two songs he produced on this record, "Watching" the River Flow" and "When I Paint My Masterpiece" Mr. Russell knew how to get a good rocker out of Mr. Dylan. Still, even though we don't have the records it would have been nice to have, we have snippets here of what they could have been. Several different styles, all good, but then Bob Dylan is always reinventing himself, but to reinvent himself a couple times on the same record, amazing, simply amazing.

Dylan's third Greatest Hits record is a masterpiece in it's own right. In fact because of the many different styles Dylan uses, it kind of reminds my of a Beatles' record. You know, how the Beatles would switch the lead singer from song to song between John, Paul, George and Ringo. I think because of that Beatles' records never get old. This record is like that. Dylan's voice is so different from song to song, the bands are different. It seems like a record full of surprises, one I know I'll never get tired of and I don't think you'll ever tire of it either.

There is Just Simply No Song Man Better than Bob Dylan.......2006-04-03

"Blowin' in the Wind" one of the three acoustic songs from his too short protest period on this record conjures up images of a young man, wind blowing his hair every which way as he sings this song protesting all wars. The rock numbers are outstanding and the inclusion of "Postively 4th Street" was inspirational, because not only is it a divine song, but it had never been on an LP up until the release of this record. In fact this whole record is kind of inspirational, good early material that will have anybody up and thinking, good electric songs that will make you think as you sing along. Just an all around good record, this is.

Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits II" opens with the up tempo rocker "Watching the River Flow," then slows down some with the acoustic "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right," then jumps into a great Dylan countryesqe love song, "Lay, Lady Lay," then onto "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight" from the "John Wesley Album." It is a testament to how strongly Bob Dylan presents his songs that he can take you from fast to slow, electric to acoustic and grab you instantly into each song. Dylan is a master, no doubt about it. Then again, all Mr. Dylan's songs are all good aren't they? And then there's the new stuff on here that wasn't really a greatest hit, though now that the record has been out for umpteen years, probably nobody knows that, but anyway, that stuff is a good too, no it's great.

"In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors, looking into the lost forgotten years for dignity." What a line, delivered the way only Dylan can deliver them. The years just roll on and he just keeps getting better. Like a shape changer he keeps changing, redefining himself, putting out new stuff, rereleasing his old stuff, putting out his live stuff and I am always amazed. When I first got "Greatest Hits III) (I bought it on cassette), I stuck it into the play in my car, because I couldn't wait to get home. "Tangled Up in Blue" came on and I immediately forgot that I was listening to a Greatest Hits record, was taking right back to the first time I'd heard "Blood on the Tracks" and I stayed right there till "Changing of the Guard" came on, not the song I was expecting, but I was immediately hooked right in. Then right onto "The Groom's Still Waiting at the Alter", a down right rocker with a heck of a Gospel flavor. Next comes "Hurricane" a song with a different band, different flavor and that is the genius of Bob Dylan. He can pull you in any direction he wants you to go and you follow.

This is Just Simply an Excellent Collection.......2006-04-03

"Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits" came out after a long lapse, probably because of Dylan's motorcycle accident. At least that's what I've read. Unlike a lot of hits records, this is a great stand alone record in it's own right and it flows as if all of the songs were meant for this record and this record alone. The three acoustic songs are absolutely three of his best. The record starts out as a rocker with "Rainy Day Woman," where we hear a humorous, seemingly carefree Dylan, but unlike on "Highway 61" here the song segues into just about the greatest protest song every written, "Blowing in the Wind." Two more acoustic songs, good ones, and then were rocking through the rest of the CD, slowing down only for "Mr. Tambourine Man." I love this record and often have the CD playing in my car.

"Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2" is a very interesting collection. The songs, though are all very good, just don't seem to flow as well (at least for me) as they do on "Greatest Hits, Volume 1." Sticking the acoustic, "Don't Think Twice" between the Rocking "Watching the River Flow" and "Lay, Lady Lay" just someone seems not right. I would have grouped the three early acoustic songs together along with the very excellent "Tomorrow is a Long Time" a live song that until this record came out, had been unreleased. It is such a good song and maybe should have been grouped with its brothers. All that being said, this is a very good collection with some outstanding songs you're just gonna love and even with my problem with the grouping, I still have to give this record five stars.

"Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, Vol. 3" starts out with the hard driving "Tangled Up in Blue," moves into "Changing of the Guards", the best song, in my opinion, from the underrated "Street Legal" album. "The Groom is Still Waiting at the Alter" was originally released as a single and later turned up in the "Biograph Box", and then the disc dives into "Hurricane" from "Desire." Like the first "Greatest Hits" LP, this CD stands on its own. All of the songs seem to work well together. There are no pre-electric songs, but this stuff is a long time away from that earlier period so, I guess, I shouldn't have been surprised when the CD came out, but I would have liked to see "Girl from the North Country" or maybe "To Ramona." I think, despite the fact that they were recorded earlier, that they would have fit right in with this five star collection. Still, it is a Greatest hits record and those songs were not hits. But then Dylan is famous for sticking stuff on these hits records that his audience has never heard before, like "Dignity" and "Series of Dreams" on this record.

Several Different Styles Here, All Good.......2006-04-03

There is a song on this record "Tomorrow is a Long Time" which is just about one of the best songs I've every heard. It's from a concert that, if all of the performances were delivered this well, then I don't know why they didn't release the whole show. Also I agree that it would have been nice to have a whole record of Bob Dylan and Happy Traum together. It also would have been nice to have a whole record produced by Leon Russell, because as we see with the two songs he produced on this record, "Watching" the River Flow" and "When I Paint My Masterpiece" Mr. Russell knew how to get a good rocker out of Mr. Dylan. Still, even though we don't have the records it would have been nice to have, we have snippets here of what they could have been. Several different styles, all good, but then Bob Dylan is always reinventing himself, but to reinvent himself a couple times on the same record, amazing, simply amazing.

This is a Fine Collection, Mighty Fine.......2006-04-03

This originally came out as a double record which was not only a greatest hits record, but it had a lot of new songs on it as well. The three songs, "I Shall Be Released", "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" and "Down in the Flood", recorded with banjo player Happy Traum are just superb. I, for one, wish he would have recorded the whole album with him. What a joy that would have been. Dylan is in fine voice on those songs. They are so upbeat. What a great end to the set.

Then there is the beginning. The Leon Russell produced "Watching the River Flow" is quite a rocker and so is "When I Paint My Masterpiece" also produced by Leon Russell. There are plenty of Dylan standards on this record as well and one wonders how in the world they picked them, because to my way of thinking just about every song, from every LP released up to this time, could have been included. This is a fine collection, just fine. Mighty fine.

An Excellent Collection.......2006-04-03

This is a very interesting collection. The songs, though are all very good, just don't seem to flow as well (at least for me) as they do on "Greatest Hits, Volume 1." Sticing the acoustic, "Don't Think Twice" between the Rocking "Watching the River Flow" and "Lay, Lady Lay" just someone seems not right. I would have grouped the three early acoustic songs together along with the very excellent "Tomorrow is a Long Time" a live song that until this record came out, had been unreleased. It is such a good song and maybe should have been grouped with its brothers. All that being said, this is a very good collection with some outstanding songs you're just gonna love and even with my problem with the grouping, I still have to give this record five stars.

Plenty Jewels and Gems on Greatest Hits Two.......2005-10-30

This Double Record was a shocker when it came out, because it not only had some of Dylan's Greatest hits, but it had plenty of new stuff as well, and some stuff that had been left behind. "Tomorrow is a Long Time," one of Dylan's best acoustic songs, heretofore unreleased, is presented here live, taken from the 1963 Town Hall Concert that Columbia never released, but should've (If anyone from CBS/Sony is reading this, Town Hall would make an excellent addition to the official Bootleg Series). Two other unreleased gems are the hard driving, hard rocking, "Watching the River Flow," produced by Leon Russell and the beyond superb "When I Paint My Masterpiece" also produced by Mr. Russell.

But in my opinion, the three jewels of this album are the songs recorded with banjo player Happy Traum, "I Shall Be Released", "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" and "Down in the Flood". Oh, wouldn't it have been great if Dylan would have reworked a whole albums worth of those songs he'd done down in that basement with the Band. Not that the "Basement Tapes" aren't good, they are excellent, but I sure do love they way he's done these three songs. I guess they just wetted our whistles for "Blood on the Tracks." The Bob Dylan we knew and loved was coming back.

This record is packed with plenty more gems, like "The Mighty Quinn," taken from the Isle of Wight show with Bob singing in his countryfied voice, "She Belongs to Me" from "Bringing it all Back Home", "If Not for you," from "New Morning," and lots more. Thumbs up from me for this one.

Some Great Stuff on this Album.......2005-10-30

Because there were only four albums between "Greatest Hits, Vol. 2" and "Greatest Hits" a lot of people didn't think there was enough hit material for another record, but they were wrong, almost every song on "Highway 61" and "Bringing it all Back Home" are so called hit material. However, the folks at Colombia and Mr. D himself were aware of the criticizism they might get, so they included enough new stuff to keep his fans happy, such as three new recordings Dylan did with banjo player Happy Traum "Crash on the Levee (Down in the Flood)," "I Shall Be Released," and "You Ain't Going Nowhere." Also this is the only album where you'll find, the two songs Leon Russell produced for Dylan, "When I Paint My Master Piece," and "Watching the River Flow" and then there is that haunting version of "Tomorrow is a Long Time," recorded live. This is a must have five star record. Plus there is that nifty minature LP sleeve, a must for collectors like myself.

All the Best of Bob Dylan.......2006-06-02

My husband is just about the greatest Bob Dylan fan that ever lived, so needless to say, I hear him coming out of the speakers in our house all the time. That's not to say I don't like him too. I do, a lot. One of the record's Jack (my husband) plays often is the first Greatest Hits CD. In fact it's probably the CD he plays the most. I can only imagine the impact this record must have made back when it came out. Just imagine "Rainy Day Woman" and "Like a Rolling Stone" on the same record. What must the establishment thought back then. There there is "Mr. Tambourine Man." How could they ever understand that. Add "Blowing in the Wind" and "Times" two songs they probably understood only too well, understood and didn't like. Yes, America was changing, the times were blowin' away in the wind. The future was coming fast. This record must have really shook 'em up.

"Greatest Hits, Volume 2" originally came out as a double record which was not only a greatest hits record, but it had a lot of new songs on it as well. The three songs, "I Shall Be Released", "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" and "Down in the Flood", recorded with banjo player Happy Traum are just superb. I, for one, wish he would have recorded the whole album with him. What a joy that would have been. Dylan is in fine voice on those songs. They are so upbeat. What a great end to the set. Then there is the beginning. The Leon Russell produced "Watching the River Flow" is quite a rocker and so is "When I Paint My Masterpiece" also produced by Leon Russell. There are plenty of Dylan standards on this record as well and one wonders how in the world they picked them, because to my way of thinking just about every song, from every LP released up to this time, could have been included. This is a fine collection, just fine. Mighty fine.

I just love "Greatest Hits, Volume 3," with the super long, intricate "Brownsville Girl" and "Under a Red Sky" too. These are the best songs from the albums they were culled from. Maybe they weren't really hits, but they deserved to be rereleased in this collection and I believe the collection is bettebr for it. "Jokerman" is one of the best songs in Dylan's catalog and I could well imagine him doing it when he was much younger. You can see it's Subterranean Homesick Blues" ancestry. "Ring them Bells" from the "Oh Mercy" record is haunting as are "Series of Dreams" and "Dignity" that were left off that record, but show up here. And, of course, there is that Dylan song that has closed so many concerts, " Knockin' On Heaven's Door." It closes this collection too. It's a great song, ending a great collection. This whole album works well for me. Isn't it amazing how Dylan can put this stuff together like this, making is seem fresh and new?

When The Saints Come Marching In.......2006-01-30

I can't help but go to this place, so you'll have to forive me ( or not...smile). But this collection of music is so spectacular, in my opinion, it is not only for those "new" to Bob Dylan and his music. It is for everyone world-wide even if one doesn't understand the words, (our Americanized English Language). I have no idea what it is - about this extraordinary soul but as someone said once - Dylan has you from the cradle to the grave. I only hope that Bob Dylan's life is as enriched as he makes our own. I do know this - but it's from my most limited experience. When the darkest of hours seem to harming and literally demoralizing us everyday-folks-out-there, a gifted soul emerges like Dylan and...well, it just "feels" like When The Saints Come Marching In. Bottomline: if you can afford it, this is worth every hard-earned cent and more.
