This is a tough one. To me, "Blood On The Tracks" is Dylan's greatest work, it is just so flawless and contains that songwriting that bowls me over.

"Self-Portrait" has the finest opening I think I have ever heard from Dylan, "All The Tired Horses". I could listen to that little tune all day. The strings, the mournful lyric, the harmony vocals, and the subject matter, perhaps the noblest beast on earth outside of the canine, it just fills me up.

And not to mention "Days Of Forty-Nine", which I have been singing for years, and which I also consider one of his greatest renditions.

The first album he made is still one of my favorites. I always play it LOUD when I put it on, chasing the kids and the dog from the vicinity. I love those opening chords of "Your No Good", and "Song To Woody" is performed like the classic that it is.

I'm glad to see some positive notes in this thread, as the man gets hammered here upon occaision, for whatever reason.
