My Top Ten Favourite Songs by Bob Dylan (Pt. 10)
Bob Dylan is like the superhero of modern poetry, his writing is phenomenal. You may not completely be on board with his singing voice (though, I am—all the time), but you have to admit that he is the greatest songwriter who ever lived. Bob Dylan didn't just spring out of nowhere though, he has many influences that we're going to talk briefly about in this introduction (or, more accurately, we're going to pick a few and talk about them). Bob Dylan's influences are some quite obvious, and some quite a bit out there. What we're going to look at are the ones that you can possibly relate to, in the world of folk, country, and rock music.

Bob Dylan and Three Modes of Autobiography
Bob Dylan has been known to intelligently use autobiography in his songs, but there are several songs in which Bobcats and Dylanologists have no idea whether Dylan actually put himself into them, or if he was entirely separate. However, I personally believe that there are three modes to which Bob Dylan refers to himself within his songs and each one of these is entirely different to the last. They are:

My Top Ten Favourite Songs by Bob Dylan (Pt. 8)
Unfortunately for you, I'm no Dylanologist. I'm a Bobcat. The Bobcat is a curious creature—they appreciate Bob Dylan's music but they're not as smart as the Dylanologists who theorise and create books of extensive research on it. I would love to be one of them though, they seem real smart. Some famous Dylanologists include Harold Lepidus, Clinton Heylin, Seth Rogovoy, Scott Marshall, James Adams, and many, many more. These people are the staples of Dylanology. There are also a number of stations including: Dylan Radio, Definitely Dylan and the podcast "Is it Rolling, Bob?" that talk about various topics and play various things to do with Bob Dylan.

My Top Ten Favourite Songs by Bob Dylan (Pt. 7)
Bob Dylan is the beacon of hope for the music of the folk revival era. He is the stance of the great lyricist, the poet who writes personally about their own time and life rather than, what came before him—a string of impersonal songs about love. Bob Dylan experiments with dark lyrics, love songs of his own life, protest songs, songs that people have worked their entire lives trying to figure out and songs about things that only Bob Dylan could know.

Nicholas Lurwick and That Wild Southern Blues Sound
Folk Rock and Southern Blues are so closely associated with artists from the 1960s and the 1970s, and even further back than that, such as: Bob Dylan, Credence Clearwater Revival, The Band, Woody Guthrie, Paul Simon, and many more in this field, that sometimes it can be difficult for someone like me to find new music to listen to.

My Top Ten Favourite Songs by Bob Dylan (Pt. 6)
Bob Dylan is one of the most timeless writers of music and lyrics who has ever lived. He is a magician of words and is able to write stories into his songs like no other person can. He has used numerous influences such as Moby Dick by Herman Melville, The Odyssey by Homer and even the Bible to write better, more epic songs in many different genres.

10 Essential Bob Dylan Albums
Bobcats are fascinating people if you get to know us. We love Bob Dylan for unique style and we look up to various Dylanologists who have made themselves known for analysing Bob Dylan and giving us great reading material (please refer to my article "10 Books on Bob Dylan" for more information). With his incredibly large catalogue, it's never easy becoming a Bobcat because you are really lost of what there is to listen too—there's so much choice!

My Top Ten Favourite Songs by Bob Dylan (Pt. 4)
As you probably know by now, I love Bob Dylan. I didn't think I had to spell that one out for you. I love each album for its character and authentic sound. Knocked Out Loaded is a good album; you guys are just mean. Each album has credibility for being a great.

Bob Dylan's catalogue is expansive and, well, I've probably said many things about him by now. You're all probably sick to death of me talking about him, but you wouldn't be here if you really were, so I'll take that as a compliment. He's won Grammys, he's got a Golden Globe, and the man even has an Academy Award for the song "Things Have Changed."I will have to say that this series may be a bit longer to what you're used to of me. I love writing about Bob Dylan and sharing my love for him with everyone, and I would love to hear what you think of my articles and what your favourite Bob Dylan songs are too.

My Top Ten Favourite Songs by Bob Dylan (Pt. 2)
Bob Dylan's name is associated with quite possibly the greatest songwriter who has ever lived. From names like the King of Folk Rock, the God of Folk, the Voice of a Generation and even, if you're lucky, Robert Zimmerman. Bob Dylan's history has filled the memories of over four generations of humankind and will remain timeless throughout world history. He is one of the greatest and most talented people on this planet and near on every songwriter of his time and ours cannot hold a candle to him.
