Dylan's best? Of the 47 or so albums he's put out, I'd estimate that 40 of them are well worth owning if you like him at all.

Aside from the albums that all Dylan fans have (you know which ones those are), a few that I consider to be essential that may have slipped by you, are:

Planet Waves
New Morning
Oh Mercy
Empire Burlesque
Infidels

Happy Listening.
The last few albums are excellent. However, his best are Highway 61 and Blood On The Tracks IMO.

Perhaps Blonde On Blonde as well.
as much as i love dylan, i'm forced to admit that essentially all his great work was pre-1976 (circa blood on the tracks). he regained some artistic momentum with time out of mind in the late 90s, and his recent records are well produced, very few of the songs seem to stick, whereas his 60s tunes are indelibly etched in my synapses. if nothing else, these recent bootleg issues emphasize just how great his early stuff really was.
Dylan's best is subjective of course, but my favorites, besides the obvious ones most mention, are Oh Mercy, Infidels, and World Gone Wrong.
