| Bobby Dylan
I was a huge Bobby D fan, lost touch to pursue other interests about 3-4 years ago, now through hearing Hurricane on the radio out of nowhere I am back on the train, list is some of his 38 studio albums and where they fall in my world | | 12 |  | Bob Dylan
Street Legal
This def. has its downfalls, but it has some really well crafted songs with better than average lyrical quality. Also, has Senor (tales of Yankee Power) which is a staple Jerry Garcia Band live tune | | 11 |  | Bob Dylan
Another Side of Bob Dylan
Bob famously hated the name, which he did not choose himself, because he said it was not another side of him, whatever, has some cool folk songs and I Don't Believe You, which is a top 5-10 song from him | | 10 |  | Bob Dylan
Blood on the Tracks
A great if somewhat low key release, completely overhauled the night before he was set to put it in the can, and rerecorded every track at the insistence of his brother. the tracks left behind made a great bootleg. | | 9 |  | Bob Dylan
Blonde on Blonde
Double vinyl to close out the Dylan Psych years about 2 years earlier than almost everybody else even started writing psych lyrics. Also one of the longest closers ever with its one whole side rendering of Sad Eyed Lady of the Low Lands | | 8 |  | Bob Dylan
Time Out of Mind
The first in his late career trilogy, the formula was timeless, blues, folk, and bluegrass, with his everpresent lyrical genius. | | 7 |  | Bob Dylan
Love and Theft
infamously released on 9/11/01 this is a great bluegrassy, folky, bluesy release, this is the middle of what people call his late trilogy of 3 albums, got to hear most of this live in a very intimate setting at my masters college with about 500 people in 04 about a week before Bush's reelection, he played Masters of War, the crowd went wild. | | 6 |  | Bob Dylan
The Times They Are A-Changin'
Another early great album, pretty strict folk, pre electric days just like Freewheelin' with some great protest songs including Boots of Spanish leather, which I got to hear live in (99) and Only a Pawn in their game, Ballad of Hollis Brown, and When The Ship Comes In. | | 5 |  | Bob Dylan
Desire
everybody loves the release right before this, Blood On the Tracks, but I have always preferred this, has Hurricane, and some great lyrics from the Grateful Deads lyricist Robert Hunter | | 4 |  | Bob Dylan
John Wesley Harding
The bass line that runs throughout this release is fantastic. This is an underrated release and has some great unheard songs one of which inspired the young unnamed Judas priest to name themselves after the song, Frankie Lee and Judas Priest | | 3 |  | Bob Dylan
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
This can be considered his debut IMO, his actual debut is a poor collection of covers, from his early early years. It should of been so much better, but this is miraculous in its delivery. Again its closer is killer.
If you get a chance see the Freewheelin' bootleg, which has many tracks left off the the release, man he had a lot of great songs made up, he couild of put out another full length release just on the ones left off. | | 2 |  | Bob Dylan
Bringing It All Back Home
1 and 2 are synonymous with each other, made about 4 months apart with the same genius psyche lyrics and perfect angry delivery, some of his best put down songs in the history of music | | 1 |  | Bob Dylan
Highway 61 Revisited
some highlights from these 1965 releases are:
Like A Rolling Stone
Ballad Of A Thin Man
Queen Jane Approximately
Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
Desolation Row
Maggie's Farm
Mr. Tambourine Man
Gates Of Eden
It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)
It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
2 of the best closers in music period. | |

06.09.17 | Also check New Morning, just missed the cut has some very underrated songs on it. | JamieTwort
06.09.17 | 10 is easily my favourite, followed by 9. | Ryus
06.09.17 | 10 is best easy yeah
2nd best might be freewheelin | wham49
06.10.17 | disagree boys, as I admit it is a 4.5-5, there is so much more dynamic, emotional, badass songs 65-67, I like the grittier dylan, as rebranding himself in the 90's, brought back the attitude of those mid 60's albums, how can you argue though , Blood is fantastic, and deserves the admiration, but personally I dig the ones before | JamieTwort
06.10.17 | Blood on the Tracks is definitely his most emotional, I don't think there's any disputing that. | wham49
06.12.17 | I guess it depnds on what you mean by emotional,, I would say his angry put down songs as on bringing it and 61, even another side are as emotional as the love lost and found on Blood, just 2 different kinds of emotions | JamieTwort
06.12.17 | That's fair, perhaps Blood is best described as his most emotional on a personal level, as in it's his most personal and intimate display of emotion. | zakalwe
06.12.17 | Bob is still unbeaten when it comes to laying it all out there. | wham49
06.13.17 | Twort, absolutely, who else can be so precise without saying anything specific, dude knows how to use lyrics to relate to everybody, nobody better
Zak, true dat, dude truly sells out, I find that in the first 2 Springsteen releases as well, totally sells out to the song | butcherboy
06.13.17 | Blood is the best break up album, second only to Astral Weeks.. Blonde and Highway are his best for me though | wham49
06.13.17 | Carol King/ tapesry and anything from 70's billy joel (personal experience from Joel) goes with blood and weeks,
Blonde is great but, I get lost, has a killer closer though | wham49
06.27.17 | went on a binge after this, it actually is pretty close to what I would put together today, I guess Blood was kinda a joke on this, it is great, but alittle too loved, but buckets of rain jams | cylinder
06.27.17 | 1 and 2 are fucking diamonds, and I'd prob love 9 to the same degree too if it wasn't for just like a woman and sad eyed lady.. those songs kinda bug me. 10 is great too but it doesn't touch the spirit or the perceptiveness shown on 1 and 2.. | wham49
07.01.17 | my thoughts exactly on 10, that is why i like desire so much, has that same kind of delivery as his best | wham49
02.14.20 | upon later review I stand by this,
hearing the trilogy played live about 50 feet away has been the highlight of my concert going career |
