Bobbing along

David Greenberg says something that often gets lost: Bob Dylan made great albums in the 1960s, and he's making great albums now.

For what it's worth, my top ten list of Bob Dylan albums. This is un-ordered, my top ten has been fairly stable over time, but the order would change frequently.


  • Highway 61 Revisited (1965)
  • Blood on the Tracks (1975)
  • Desire (1976)
  • Oh Mercy (1989)
  • Time out of Mind (1997)
  • Love and Theft (2001)
  • Blonde on Blonde (1966)
  • Bringing It All Back Home (1965)
  • The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (1963)
  • Planet Waves (1974)

If you want eleven dollar bills I'll offer up Infidels as my 11th choice.

Best song: Desolation Row
Worst song: If Dogs Run Free.

All this is inspired by the release of No Direction Home. The album is great, the movie sounds awesome too. David Yaffe reviews the movie in Slate.
