I haven’t listened to all of them but blood on the tracks is mine at the moment, absolutely brilliant. It used to be blonde on blonde when that was the only one I had listened to. What now?
Desire
Desire
Street Legal.
What was the christian rock one, again?
You were meant to say Desire 🙄

Shot of love?
"I've Suffered For My Art And Now It's Your Turn"...
I stopped listening when that came out.... Although I can still hear the main track in my head 😯
It's a tough one, but I always come back to Highway 61 revisited & Freewheelin
Id say either Bringing it all back home or blood on the tracks
Bringing it all back home shades it for me. Some of his best tracks however are stand out tracks on otherwise average albums - like Changing of the guard on Street Legal.
That Bootleg series double studio 65-66 (Bringing it all back home to Blonde on Blonde).
Or the live bootleg series one that straddles his folk-electric period (the one with 'Judas!)... 😆
None. Have to turn radio off as soon as I hear his dirge.
'Bringing It All Back Home' (mainly cos 'It's Alright Ma')
Blood on the tracks.
Budokan
I think I'd have to go with Bob Dylans Greatest Hits 8)
only the band the Beatles cold have been
I have a soft spot for Street Legal. Definitely not his best album (for me that's probably Bringing It All Back Home or Blood On The Tracks) but there's something about it I love. And it's worth trying to track down a bootleg of the Infidels sessions (e.g. Rough Cuts or Outfidels) as they show the album it could have been.
Blood on the Tracks, Highway 61, or as above, live stuff from 64-66.
🙂
Tough one.
Hard Rain is one of my favourite live albums along with "live at the Budokan"
Nashville Skyline
Blood on the Tracks is awesome, but I quite like Infidels...a lot of good tracks on that, but depends how much you hate Mark Knopfler.
Only a few more weeks and the Crimbo one goes on heavy rotation to upset the children.
I can't answer the OP's question . . . but I just laughed at "I'm a Little Teapot" sung to the tune of "Blowin' in the Wind" on "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue".

Was excellent. The unexpected harmonica had me in stitches.
Anyway, I'm a fence-sitter, so boys midway between "Desire" and "Blood on the Tracks".
Still working through them but Blood on the tracks ... if only for Idiot Wind .. love it !
(Just downloaded Desire based on comments above)
Desire
BTW still kicking myself for missing the Dylan musical Girl from the North Country. I am sure it will be on somewhere else but the original cast where superb (saw a bit on the Andrew Marr show)

Nashville Skyline and Desire are right up there. But most listened to is probably the Pat Garrett soundtrack! Amazing album to meditate to.
Can I have 'Oh Mercy' as my number 2?
Another vote for Blood on the tracks here. I never get bored of that album.
Blood On The Tracks
Planet Waves
Desire
Highway 61 Revisited
...
Freewheeling or Bringing it all back home, for Girl from the North Country and It's all over now baby blue.
Poor mans Woody Guthrie
Desire.
Just for Romance in Durango.
New Morning. Reminds me of a place/time. And its a superb album, basically. Then bott. Then probably Bob Dylan for Baby Let Me Follow You Down.
Generally disliked him but surprisingly actually liked and bought Modern Times!

Oh dear, that kinda shows how much you don't know about him.
Bringing It All Back Home
Highway 61 Revisited
Blonde on Blonde
For me those three albums between 1965 & 1966 are the height of creativity and I flip between which of them is my favourite depending on how I'm feeling.
Harking back to the best opening lines thread here a while ago:
Oh God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”
Abe says, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on”
God say, “No.” Abe say, “What?”
God say, “You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin’ you better run”
Well Abe says, “Where do you want this killin’ done?”
God says, “Out on Highway 61”

Johnny’s in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I’m on the rooftop
Pissing on pedestrians

Blood on the Tracks
Highway 61 Revisited
Blonde on Blonde.
I have Desire, but have only ever listened to 2 tracks, so will go back and listen to it all!

OK, how about Townes Van Zandt is the best song writer and I'll stand on Bob Dylans coffee table in my cowboy boots and say so
Best ever Dylan 'cover'....
HMHB - With Goth on our Side.

You prefer him, start a best album thread for him then? I promise not to jump on it and type bollocks.
