Question: What are the best Bod Dylan albums on CD? If you want to list several, please rank them in order of "must have". And if you want to say something about why you like them, or list a few of his worst ones, that would be good too.

Answer: Ultimate must-have (IMHO) is "Oh, Mercy".\nDaniel Lanois produced this around the same time he also produced U2's "Joshua Tree" and The Neville Brothers "Yellow Moon" - an excellent man to have in the studio.\n\nAll the songs are vivid portraits of emotions and humanity.\nEach will be relevant years from now as they are today as they were when the CD was released (1989).\n\nSecond best must-have is "Blood On The Tracks".\nThis 1975 recording is raw emotion over a love that has gone south.\nPowerful lyrics and excellent musicians create a sound-scape into the heart and soul of Dylan.\nObviously, "Tangled Up In Blue" is the best song on that album (and perhaps Dylan's' best song ever, or at least in the top ten list), but listen to the other cuts and feel the vibe going on in this mans' heart and head.
