No Naples. You weren't supposed to copy the chart positions. The question was what your opinion is.

I didn't copy the chart ranks but the order is the same. Here are my ranks vs overall chart:
    1. Highway 61 Revisited 12 vs 15
    2. Blonde on Blonde 17 vs 22
    3. Blood On The Tracks 23 vs 34
    4. Bringing It All Back Home 59 vs 76
    5. The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan 223 vs 174

#1. Bringing It All Back Home
#2. Highway 61
#3. Blonde on Blonde
#4. w/ The Band "The Basement Tapes"
#5. Modern Times

Have you noticed how Bringing It All Back Home alternates between rock and acoustic songs for the first 5 tracks? It's almost perfect one-to-one overall with acoustic songs slightly edging due to the ending.

The moment he laughs in his 115th Dream is so great. I like to think he just realized how amazing "I was riding on the Mayflower when I thought I spotted to land" is as a first line to a song. The imagery and themes in this song rivals most classic novels, and indeed parodies a few.

Maybe people have opinions on The Basement Tapes. I love the looseness and informality. Some songs are brilliant, others endearing and silly. "Well that big dumb blonde with her wheel gorged, turtle that friend of hers with his checks all forged, and his cheeks in a chunk with his cheese in the cash..." WTF?

Modern Times, Dylan's 32nd studio release, has an interesting story. It involves piracy of a poet, Henry Timrod. "Borrowed" lines. Can Dylan, in all his unique poetic glory, ever be accused of plagiarism?
