Bob Dylan

I'd actually say Bringing It All Back Home is a great place to start. A mixture of upbeat tracks, deep songs with a lovely feel and great lyrics. I really got into Dylan through this album. It's a fantastic intro, portrays Dylan's abillities quite well from here on.

I tried some of his songs, from albums you guys suggested, and dont kill me for saying it,
but I found it quite boring :/

maybe im not at the right mood, idk.
I'll try again later... I want to expand my musical taste so ill be as open minded as I can

I find it does take a while to really get into Bobby and appreciate what he's about. It's kind of the same with Neil Young. Though Buckets of Rain and Desolation Row are really great songs. Did you like Subterranean Homesick Blues, Maggie's Farm or his other upbeat songs more?

Rage Against the Machine made a killer cover of Maggie's Farm btw.

What are your favorite bands? Bob would definitely be boring for someone who likes heavy metal or electronic music, or any really fast and upbeat music. I personally get tired of that kind of music fairly fast, I usually prefer the slower, more relaxed songs.

Sigur Ros, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Devin Townsend, Boards Of Canada,Pink Floyd, Pain Of Salvation, Maudlin Of The Well, Talk Talk (only the last 2 albums).

Bob Dylan can be an acquired taste for some listeners. You should give Highway 61 Revisited a listen.

I second this. Bringing It All Back Home was one of the first albums I remember being fascinated with early on. When I grew to like it, it made listening to his earlier stuff and the trio of albums that started with it much more palatable. For a while I thought it could be my favorite of his albums before I started to warm up to his other works.
