we are now at the edge of ridiculousness: why not recommend "In Through The Out Door" to someone who has never listened to Led Zeppelin or "Full Circle" as a first approach to the Doors?

Really, then Dylan has everything in his archives; just think that he discarded masterpieces like "Series Of Dreams," later included in "The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3" (and if I'm not mistaken, there is an Italian version by Mimmo Locasciulli). He also hasn't recorded studio versions of brilliant tracks like "Tomorrow Is A Long Time" and "John Brown," which I believe was played in "The Gaslight Tapes" and later retrieved for the 1995 unplugged session.

Seen live a couple of times in recent years, Dylan is truly pitiful; his voice is unrecognizable and at times irritating, and it’s hard to understand which songs he is performing. I missed Neil, unfortunately, I didn’t know he was in Milan a few weeks ago; I definitely would have gone. As for the discussion of an epochal piece like "The End" and "Heroin", I feel the same way about a Dylan song, "Ballad Of Hollis Brown," which has an apocalyptic tone and, in my opinion, is the quintessential "murder ballad," to put it in Nick Cave’s terms. Certainly, the charm of these two ("Ballad Of Hollis Brown" and "The Last Trip To Tulsa") is different from "Heroin" and "The End," but the climax and tension that all four songs create are quite similar.

Well, actually Dylan has songs like Hurricane, Idiot Wind, Sad-eyed Lady of the Lowlands, etc. The comparison between Dylan and Young is really interesting from many points of view: you can draw parallels between so many songs. Beautiful and incredibly difficult what donjunio proposed, but it could also be done on the best song about drugs (Mr. Tambourine Man/The Needle And The Damage Done), on protest songs (Masters Of War/Ohio), on generational anthems (Blowin' In The Wind/My My Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue). Personally, I wouldn’t be able to choose between the two, I love them both viscerally, even though live there’s really no comparison, and after the 60s, Dylan has done very little.

strange coincidence that in both songs (Desolation and Ambulance) the word "ambulance" appears. By the way, I remember reading somewhere that Dylan had complimented Neil for "Ambulance Blues" and instead had scolded him for "Old Man," if I recall correctly, because he said it was his stuff. @donjunio: gourmet, I would also throw "The Last Trip To Tulsa" in front of "Down To The River," which I've always liked a lot, especially when the guitar gets angry :D

once the fakes were originals, see the unmatched korn, now instead everything is focused on the 'track by track' of Maiden and Theater

Hard rock in 1965? "Tombstone Blues" garage? You liquidate the stunning "Ballad Of A Thin Man" with a simple "lukewarm ballads"? Village Voice, you know what I'm saying? I don't believe you. You're a liar. "Desolation Row" is a piece that alone would be worth the career of any artist; here, it’s simply the final gem of an extraordinary album, perhaps his most ambitious song, probably his best lyrics, or maybe just my favorite (which in the end is the same thing, right?). De Gregori and De André tried to translate it, and even though "Via della povertà" is beautiful, the original text is something entirely different.
