I heard Rainy Day Woman #12 and #35 last night on the radio (Nova) for the first time in a long long time and had forgotten how good the song was. Not previously been a Dylan fan, but I think I could be converted. Is Blonde on Blonde his best work? Any other recommendations? Muppet Man

well start with bringing it all back home, highway 61 revisited, blonde on blonde and blood on the tracks. They are generally regarded as his best albums

Tbh just get his entire discography pre-2000s and find what you like yourself. It's all quality, it just depends on what you yourself are subjectively looking for.

I'd love to be able to explore Dylan from scratch again- Try some of his live stuff to get a good summary. Rolling thunder revue or Live at Budokan for an alternative take on familiar songs. Also some of the newest albums are just class even though not played on radio. Theres plenty of tips or pointers here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056079875
