    What do you think his best flok albums were? His acoustic-folk period wnt from 1962-1965 with 4 albums from those years. Personally, i like The Freewheelin' the best, but I only own The Times..what do you think?

    Freewheelin' is one of my favourites.
    I absolutley love that album.
    Whenever I'm blue, I throw of Neil Young of Bob Dylan and I start seeing some of the more beauty in life.

    Oh god.. I can't pick. :D

    I love Bob Dylan because it's so bluesy-hardcore folky...
    and Freewheelin because it's so mellow and dreamy but all those political ties and protest songs...
    The Times They Are A Changin is so.. the title just fits it so perfectly and it tells amazing stories and sadddd melodies...

    and then theres Another Side.. just.. :D All those songs are so distinctive and a lot of them are fun. :D Motorpsycho Nightmare. ahah.

    I dunno.. I guess Another Side....

    it asked for 'best' not 'favourite'

    It would probably be down to (musically speaking) The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan and/or Another Side of Bob Dylan. His debut was mostly just covers, and The Times They Are A-Changin' seems to mostly be whatever was left off of Freewheelin'.

    John Wesley Harding and possibly even Blood on the Tracks should've been included on this poll too.

    the freewheelin' bob dylan gets my vote. it's one of his best. but side two of bringing it all back home is the best acoustic he's ever done

    I said the period that lasted from 1962-1964. JWH was in 1967 and BOTT was in 1975.

    It's probably most definitely his best album, but I like Nashville Skyline the most.

    I voted for Freewheelin', but it's a hard choice between that and 'the times they are a changin' -

    I also like some of the early recorings of Bob's songs by Joan Baez - she has such an angelic voice.

    Another Side...but Freewheelin' isn't far behind in my mind...then Times They Are A Changin' and I've never heard the self-titled one except for the Song for Woody...
