Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Two discs of music don't exactly provide for a thorough overview of four decades of recording, particularly if the subject of the retrospective is one of the most important and prolific performers of his time. So The Essential Bob Dylan definitely skates over the leagues-deep oeuvre of Dylan, summarizing his monumental first half-dozen years in disc one and skirting over the following 34 years in disc two. Delving into Columbia's three Dylan greatest-hits packages (though curiously purging "I Want You," a genuine hit single in its day), Essential offers only a few surprises, opting for The Basement Tapes version of "Quinn the Eskimo" over the Self Portrait remake that made it onto Greatest Hits Volume II and tossing in "Things Have Changed" from the Wonder Boys soundtrack for completists. But this 30-track overview is designed with newcomers, not Dylanologists, in mind. --Steven Stolder Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Bob, keep on keepin' onI have been a fan since 1962 and this music follows my life. Like Bob I have had my ups and downs but we are stil " ROCKIN' and ROLLIN'.So,Bob,"if not for you" I would not be me Rating: - What Makes it Essential?It gave me every Dylan song I wanted to hear (over and over again). Is the quality the best I've ever heard? No, it isn't...but it is good enough for playing on the system I have. This album has already provided hours of pleasure...worth every penny! P.S. Does anyone know if the idiot Jonas clone has apologized for his MAJOR gaff regarding Dylan's talent? I'm boycotting Jonas...should be one of my easiest protests to date! Rating: - Dylan Rules!This is an outstanding CD by one of the legends in American.. Over the decades Bob Dylan has been one of the dominant figures on the American musical scene. I always remember Dylan making his comeback on the Johnny Cash show. In the early 1970's in was able to attend his comeback concert tour with the Band. I will always be a Bob Dylan fan. This CD has every major hiy that Bob Dylan ever recorded. It starts with the early years with "Blowin In The Wind","Don't Think Twice","It Aint Me Babe","Mr. ...

His contribution to music is amazing, and he is by a long shot my favorite performer. He is the greatest songwriter to ever live, bar none. And that's why 'The Essential Bob Dylan' is incredibly misleading and if you are a longtime, die-hard fan, completely unnecessary. Read on for further details. First off, two discs just isn't gonna cut it. Sure, it's got several ... Read More Rating: - Great selection of Dylanthis two cd collection is a great overview of Dylan's work. It begins way back with classics like Blowin' in the Wind,and moves into the later years with Lay, Lady, Lay. Any Dylan fan would like this especially to remember his voice (?) as it was and certainly not as it is today. A friend of mine heard him last month and was sorely disappointed. Well, a voice can't last forever. Perhaps, he thought that the inimitable Dylan sound would last forever, still sounding like gravel.
