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....

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

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 ...

song for song highway 61 may be his best, but blonde on blonde is, to me, the best sounding, best sung record he's done. i'm not as big a big fan of his post-john wesley harding stuff (and always thought blood on the tracks was a tad overrated), but do like time out of mind

Planet Waves is cool, recorded live in the studio with The Band in late 1973, released in January ’74. He and they then embarked on his first tour since 1965-6 (also backed by them on that tour, they then known as The Hawks.). The double album of live recordings from that tour is fantastic.

Oh Mercy is a favourite of mine but it is hard to have a favourite for long as so much of Bob Dylan’s work is pure genius.
