A true game-changer. This album is the sound of a man of spiritual life force and beast-like primal musicality figuring it all out and right out of the gate. There's hardly a moment on this album that doesn't still resonate regularly with listeners and musicians of all ages all over the world. With a track-list as sturdy as the foundation of the Pentagon, Are You Experienced is one of the best rock albums you will ever hear.

A listening experience like no other. Even if some of the tracks on here aren't absolute Beatle standouts, the flow and overall vibe of this record would be incomplete without just about any of them. It's a grand piece of art even if it suffers from the occasional hyperbole.

Very close to my favorite VU release. The ending of this album is such maddening joy. I smile in such a comfortably uncomfortable fashion.

I remember buying this album along with Bringing It All Back Home at a bookstore in Lansing, MI. The total didn't cost me more than ten bucks, what an investment.
Dylan finally clicked with me around that time and I remember coming home, going to the basement, pressing play on this and *CRACK* goes that famous first snare drum whack. The one that changed Dylan's catalog and subsequently popular music forever. It began a ride with this record I couldn't believe. This album was so strong and very engaging all the way through. That's just what this work is every time. Dylan hasn't frequented my listening as much recently so maybe this one will climb higher one day, but I do love it. [First added to this chart: 04/21/2020]

Very close to my favorite Dylan record. I think Side 2 reaches biblical proportions of good songwriting/storytelling.

A giant record for early 60's jazz. Its title track is oft-studied to this day.
