* Thanks to Martin Cowan:

“Further to the interesting selection of Top Tens on the site, it struck me that surely Dylan fans deserve better than yet another reissue of tracks we already have.

“As someone else has posted, it would be nice to have some live stuff from the NET, and to be honest I'd rather have further volumes of the Bootleg Series (including the God years and the Supper Club shows) than re-heated re-hashes!”

* Thanks to Brad Mayhew:

“Slow Train
Satisfied mind/saved
pressing on
mr. tambourine man
like a rolling stone
a hard rain's a gonna fall
tomorrow is such a long time
knockin’ on heaven’s door
not dark yet
my back pages”

1. Friend of the devil (Dubuque, 1996)
2. Licence to kill (Letterman show, 1984)
3. I want you (Supper club, 1993)
4. Don't think twice, it's all right (Woodstock II, 1994)
5. I'll keep it with mine (Official bootleg)
6. Like a rolling stone
7. Changing of the guards (1978 tour)
8. Knocking on heaven's door (Unplugged version)
9. One too many mornings (Supper club, 1993)
10. Tomorrow is a long time (1978 tour)”

Would you like to win a free copy of Nigel Williamson’s excellent Rough Guide to Bob Dylan (2nd ed, 2006)?

If so, simply send The Dylan Daily a list of the 10 Dylan songs (ranked 1 to 10) – you’d most like to see included on DYLAN, the new 3CD compilation, due 1 October. Please send to: songs@dylandaily.com

Your list will be posted on The Dylan Daily web site, and then aggregated with the other lists to produce a composite fans’ choice list of 51 tracks, which will be widely publicised and sent to Sony.

Your name will be entered in a prize draw and the lucky winner will be asked for his/her postal address and receive a free copy of the Rough Guide, kindly provided by the publishers at launch last year.

The competition closes at 2301 GMT on Thursday 19 July. So please send your Top 10 Dylan songs list now, before you forget!

If you already have a copy of the Rough Guide, please send your Top 10 list anyway – the more contributions, the more authoritative will be the eventual list of top Dylan songs – the 51 track compilation the fans would like to see!
