Going to try these poll thread, and I'm gonna try some classic albums. I was told that this would be a landslide for Bruce, but we'll see.

Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited vs. Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run

Pick one.

[TangledUp]

Making me pick one is pure torture. Both amazing albums. But I had to go with my boo Bob on this one.

[JinxRemoving]

Wow, is this hard. Definitely the most difficult of these so far. Had to go with Dylan because he's my favorite artist ever, but both albums are perfect.

[WakingTheMisery]

Dylan, duh.

I prefer Bruce, but no slight to Dylan.

Because I loathe Bruce. Guy was shoved down my throat for 22 years. Being from the same area as him is a curse.

Not to discredit Dylan at all, but The Boss has to get my vote.

Dylan, but it was a really tough choice.

[Craig Manning]

Highway 61 is damn near perfect and has two of the best bookend tracks in the history of rock n roll. In most polls, I'd choose it without thinking twice.

But...

Born to Run is actually perfect and has THE two greatest bookend tracks in the history of rock n roll. The Jungleland sax solo is my favorite 2+ minutes in all of recorded music, "Thunder Road" my all time favorite song, the title track a definitive anthem, and the album overall the greatest set of songs ever put to tape.

Sorry Bob, but this one is a landslide for me.

Well I know that a "real critic"'s choice would be Dylan. I mean, Rolling Stone would say that right? Fuck that. Born To Run means more to me, I grew up listening to Bruce and his songs touch more on a personal level I suppose. If I have to look at both albums with a review in mind, I still give BTR the top pick, and this is taking nothing away from Dylan because I adore his work as well.
