My mom used to play this song (Byrds) all of the time I remember as a kid- it was just such a positive, pleasant song to have on. I was too young of course to really understand/comprehend the Dylan lyrics, but the chorus “Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me”, at least, looking back on it now (the only lyrics I remember ha) I think kind of primed my young mind to really want to explore and be curious about the world and the stories people have to tell.

my grandad would play this song on the guitar constantly when i was a small child until i learned the lyrics and was able to sing along with him. it was only a couple of years ago that i discovered it on spotify, all these years i’ve believed it was his own original song

my mom raised me as a young single mom in the 90s and thusly we shared her music taste. i remember thinking this song was the most beautiful song in the world. we had an old VW Golf with a cd player and The Colour And The Shape was always in there. whenever "Monkey Wrench" inevitably came on the radio, i'd ask my mom if we could listen to "the short song on the cd" which is what i called "Doll". over 25 years later i am still head over heels in love with this song/album, it's a total comfort for me.

My dad gifted me this CD when I was around 6-7, loved it as a kid (I always listened to it while falling asleep) and then completely forgot about it in my teens.
I rediscovered Pat Metheny at a jazz festival at 20 and now I’m in love again!

I don’t believe in ranking things- restaurants, albums, books, movies, athletes anything, top x lists whatever. I think it’s a waste of time honestly. Even with a completely objective criterion what’s the point. Would rather listen to and read people just talk about their favorite things and why they are special and meaningful to them- everyone has their own, interesting reasons. And this is a great place to do that!
