Perhaps inundated by all things Challamet with the recent A Complete Unknown film, I had a hankering for Dylan today
Going through Spotify's playlist of Rolling Stone Mag's "100 Greatest Bob Dylan's Songs"
All the usual suspects but some nice surprises too like "Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?" (released as a single in 1965 later to appear on Biograph set) and his version of "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" (originally released by The Byrds) :thumbsup:

Did ye happen to look at the Paste Magazine list, by any chance? I posted it in the Music Lists thread.

Bob Dylan’s 62 Greatest Songs of All Time, Ranked​

 
Miles Davis - Ascenseur pour l'echefaud (1958)

Miles Davis - Ascenseur pour l'échafaud - album cover


Watched the movie for the first time this weekend so now the soundtrack - mellow, moody jazz
 
The Sugar Shoppe - The Sugar Shoppe (1968, Now Sounds comp. 2013)

The Mamas and The Papas meet The New Vaudeville Band. Terrific sunshine pop from a Canadian group backed by The Wrecking Crew that shoulda been a lot bigger. Now Sounds, part of the Cherry Red empire, gathered their entire output for Capitol: this album, a pair of singles, an acetate demo and a live cut. It's all great fun and well worth seeking out.
 
Elizabeth Luytens - The Golden Age Of Horror, Vol. 1 (rec. 1965-67, Dragon's Domain comp. 2024)

Sublimely spooky soundtracks from a great but underappreciated composer. Elisabeth Luytens (1906-1983) wrote many notable classical works but Wiki tells us about her sideline in film, "to pay the bills" as she put it:

"She was the first female British composer to score a feature film, her first foray into the genre being Penny and the Pownall Case (1948). Her other scores included Never Take Sweets from a Stranger (1960), Don't Bother to Knock (1961), Paranoiac (1963), Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (1965), The Earth Dies Screaming (1965), The Skull (1965), Spaceflight IC-1 (1965), The Psychopath (1966), Theatre of Death (1967) and The Terrornauts (1967). Lutyens did not regard her film scores as highly as her concert works, but she still relished being referred to as the 'Horror Queen', which went well with the green nail polish she habitually wore."
