Favorite Dylan?

I'm loving Slow Train Coming on vinyl.  It's always been one of my favorites.  Mark Knopfler's guitar work is a treat, and the songs are great.  I know for some it was a turn off because of the born again phase, but if you can put that aside you cannot deny the brilliance of this record.

Runner up is Time Out Of Mind.  Magical....

So many to choose from! Sonically, I think Oh Mercy on LP is hands-down the best and the music is haunting. But Desire, Highway 61, Blood on the Tracks, Blonde on Blonde are all great albums ...

Desire is my #1
I would probably say either Slow Train or Blood on the Tracks
are tied for #2

Slow Train excellent.  Mine was always Blood on the Tracks until Time Out of Mind.  That one is a treat from start to finish.

I too loved it at the time of it’s release (I still have my original LP). I found the reaction to the lyrical content amusing. I guess the counter-culture didn’t listen to the lyrics of the John Wesley Harding album, which was released at the height of the hippie era (as was The Band’s Music From Big Pink, which was also very against-the-tide). It was chock full of biblical references.

Of his "newer" albums, I really like "Love And Theft".
