Listening through Blonde On Blonde is like listening to an audio book. A prophetic and prolific writer at arguably his most consistently great and the Dylan album I find myself returning to most often these days.

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.

The best of Dylan's first few records. Masters of War is a stark masterpiece. Even some of the lesser tracks here exhibit some DNA of humor or wit or something interesting and likable.
