Bob Dylan Update

In my pursuit of things Dylan since I first became interested in him in mid-March 2008 ("Late To The Party"), I now own the following Bob Dylan CDs - i.e., every CD he has officially made and released, except for the complete set of "The Original Mono Recordings" (a re-release of the monophonic originals of his first eight albums, from "Bob Dylan" through "John Wesley Harding") and the duplicative "Essential Bob Dylan" and "Greatest Hits Vol. I and Vol. III" albums (Vol. II has some original songs and alternate versions that are not on any other CDs, so I recently bought it). I've also added the Amnesty International "Chimes Of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan" 4-disc CD set to my collection, Tempest, and the Blu-ray of The Other Side of the Mirror.

Which album is your favorite?

That's a tough call! I, like most people, consider Blood On The Tracks and Blonde on Blonde to be great. John Wesley Harding and Time Out Of Mind, too. Christmas In The Heart is a blast, but his voice is gone - terrible, terrible, the toll of cigarettes and who knows what else. I started with the 3-CD DYLAN compilation and then bought many of the others as I encountered them used or on sale. Click on the Dylan tag to see my other posts here about Bob. To tell the truth, though, I've hardly listened to any music of any kind for months now. I go in spells.
