[number14]

I am currently into Bob Dylan, what albums do you think i should start off with?

[Mairi]

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (my personal favorite)
Bringing it all Back Home
Highway 61 Revisited
Blonde on Blonde

also John Wesley Harding is a rather underrated album IMO.

[Hello Goodbye]

Wow!  You'll get different opinions here.  I bought his 1960s and 1970 albums (contemporary, in my case):


Bob Dylan
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
The Times They Are A-Changin'
Another Side of Bob Dylan
Bringing It All Back Home
Highway 61 Revisited
Blonde on Blonde
John Wesley Harding
Nashville Skyline
Self Portrait
New Morning

I liked his early works and they remain timeless. I was one of those who liked when he went electric.  He began moving in a different direction (John Wesley Harding) after recovery from his motorcycle accident.  I sort of lost interest in his work after 1970.  New Morning was the last Bob Dylan album I bought.  I played it twice.

[Mairi]

I've been listening to a  lot of his '70s stuff lately, Blood on the Tracks in particular.

[adamzero]

I'd start with Highway 61.

get desire

[Bobber]

I only have Desire and it isn't played much. But it's a good album imo.

We share favorites in Mr. Dylan's work. I quite love the title of the fourth on that list and I agree that Freewheelin' is the best. Have you ever heard his self-titled debute? Its pretty good but it only has two original songs.

Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again is the best.
