[…] Wrote Every Song Ever By gypsyrob Via Passion of the Weiss, now we know Dylan wrote every song ever. Stick with it for the Baez […]

This will sound pretty philistinic but I think I’ve listened to ‘Toxic’ more times in the past week than the number of times I’ve listened to any Dylan song in my entire life. Not that that’s a reflection of my esteem or lack thereof for Dylan, I just haven’t gotten around to him and his discography seems like quite an undertaking.

Tray, you may as well start sometime, or you might run out of time, if you know what I mean.

Tray, I think that looking at his discography when listed makes it look daunting. However, it becomes less intimidating when you realize that the 1960s is really the essence of his legacy. There are occasional great albums after that* (and occasional brilliant songs within the crap albums, too), but really, the majority of the good stuff is gonna be his 60s output.
*=By “after that,” I mean 1970-1998. From Time Out of Mind onward has been stellar. Yes, I just described Bob Dylan’s latter-day renaissance as “stellar.”

Um, as for post sixties albums - Blood on the Tracks?
(but blind willie mctell is devastatingly beautiful)
