I don't know about that. The Travelling Wilburys are pretty awful.
Music Bob Dylan

love those recordings..pure fun.
The production is kinda wack but I do love many tracks on Infidels. Oh Mercy is a fantastic album too.
Oh Mercy is class.
Seeing as it's his 75th birthday....
If I have and really like the following albums...
...what one(s) should I listen to next?

if bob dylan is so great then how come he is dead?
The Basement Tapes and The Bootleg seriesIf I have and really like the following albums...

A very good question Eboue, a very good question indeed.
Thanks! I'll check them out
John Wesley Harding and Nashville Skyline for me. I love 'Drifter's Escape' off the former and the latter has Dylan crooning in a way he never did before or after. As this short article says Dylan put it down to stopping smoking!:https://www.rollingstone.com/music/...w-country-voice-on-nashville-skyline-20160408If I have and really like the following albums...

Oh Mercy is great as well, and it had little right to be given how badly he was struggling at the time with his writing muse.
If you're really into these albums you could start listening to his records chronologically. I had a blast doing it.If I have and really like the following albums...

If that's too much: Nashville Skyline was already mentioned, a great (and surprising) one.
Love & Theft from 2001, as an example of the later Dylan.
Or the "Royal Albert Hall" concert (actually recorded in Manchester), as a summary of the three 60s electric albums in your list and that quite legendary 1966 tour.
So many to mention but my own personal favourite is "Jokerman".
If it was me I'd probably give The Times They Are A-Changin, Another Side of Bob Dylan and John Wesley Harding a listen next. JWH is great and the other two (while not up with his very best) round off that great run of albums from '63-'67. After that he changes things up a bit and moves into a different phase.If I have and really like the following albums...

Or just listen to JWH. And Desire. And Oh Mercy. And Time Out of Mind. So much good stuff.

Desire is worth a listen too.Thanks everyone, I'll check out all the albums mentioned here
Added it to my list!
dont listen to that its the one where he swears allegiance to isis
Too late I've already got my flag.
The Basement Tapes - Haven't listened to it all yet, but from the third or so I have, it's good.
Nashville Skyline - Alright, but a little too country for me. Maybe it'll grow on me more with another listen.
The Times They Are A-Changin' - Liked it.
John Wesley Harding - Good.
My top three overall so far would be
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
Highway 61 Revisited
Blood On The Tracks

Isis is my favourite song by him. Bastards ruined it. Now when people ask I need to pretend it's Tangled up in Blue.
The Times They Are A-Changin' used to be my favourite but I find it's heavy handedness really off putting these days. Boots of Spanish Leather is still possibly my favourite Dylan song though. I actually reckon Boootleg 1-3 is as good a collection of songs as any of the albums. I'd take the likes of Rambling Gambling Willie, Moonshiner, Bear Mountain Picnic, Davey Moore, House Carpenter over some of his more celebrated music.
Agreed, it's probably my most listened to Dylan album.
@Olly Tempest is good, released in 2012 so it's after his voice has completely gone but still worth a listen.
Also Christmas in the Heart, it's suprisingly awesome in parts.

It really depends what sort of music you're into, Bob's covered a lot of different genres and styles, you've even got Gospel-Rock (Slow Train, Saved, Shot of Love) Country (John Wesley Harding, Nashville Skyline, New Morning) I personally love 70's to early 80's Bob.
Blood On The Tracks is a masterpiece, but I also love Street-Legal and Planet Waves for their unique style.. Definitely worth a listen to see what you're into.

I've had it on every Christmas since it came out.I agree on Tempest too. There's no point pretending his voice is technically any good these days but you factor that decline in when listening to his modern stuff. As pretentious as it sounds for me every listen is a celebration that he's still going; producing new music, doing covers and still fecking touring.

What one is that?!
Ah interesting. I find it the perfect mix of the sincere, the romantic and the playful.
My dad is a huge Dylan nut and even has a signed print of one of his mushy paintings, the wierdo. I'm more of a casual fan but when a song like Moonshiner starts up I feel like I get it.
Indeed.
The fact I've listened to it so much is mostly due to the more melancholic versions of the Blood on the Tracks songs. Idiot Wind and Tangled up in Blue doesn't make any sense for me as upbeat songs, that's why I rarely ever listen to the album versions.
its called "i endorse isis and all of its offshoot groups that have sworn allegiance to it"
Cool thanks, will do!
I'll check then out
Yep. I like it though, plenty of suggestions to get through!I listened to more of my fair share of Dylan growing up. He's my dad's favorite artist. @Olly my personal favorites of his are Desire and New morning. I see you already have Desire on your playlist (Sara is a standout track for me, and the Hurricane). New Morning is a great album 'went to see the gypsy' and 'Winterlude' are my fav tracks.
Hurricane is probably Dylan's most overrated song but the rest of Desire is fab. Sara especially.
Agreed here. I’ve never rated Hurricane.
His duet with Johnny Cash in “Girl From the North Country”, however...
Very good tune. My favorite rotates between “Lay, Lady, Lay”, “Tangled up in Blue”, and “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright”
