Um, as for post sixties albums - Blood on the Tracks?

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.”

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

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.

I’ve got that song on repeat. It really is incredible.
