Yeah, it's tough. Some of the really early stuff is, dare I say, overrated, and a lot dated.
To counter that, there's a ton of great songs .

No one repudiated Dylan’s early protest work more so than Dylan himself. Like they said in Im Not There maybe that was just a scene he knew he could dominate and he did. He can do anything. His Christian albums are good. His country album Nashville Skyline is good. But I think the three electric post-folk albums: Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, and Blonde on Blonde are pretty widely considered his best work. Throw in Blood on the Tracks as well

Just having an opinion here. I have no idea what Dylan thinks about Dylan.

I think Slow Train Coming is a great album.

I edited to add some more commentary. I’d recommend to anyone those 4 albums

I was just about to post that, but I decided to watch it first
Notable for the rare parody of NS Dylan
I'll have to settle for this

The bootleg scene is huge - I think Dylan fans pretty much invented it because Dylan doesn’t have production - he does single live takes AND refuses to play the same song the same way twice

He and the Band did one album in a 3-day weekend.

I like in the mid 70s when he started doing some of his protest songs again but turned these sad slow acoustic ballads into rock n rollers

This is my favorite version of It Ain’t Me Babe. Totally different than the original

Live at Budokan was also a lot of rearranged classics.

Maybe the weirdest Dylan single.
Dylan goes electric - in 1962
I have never understood the point of this record. Why would he risk alienating his folkie audience by cutting R&R, which the folkies hated?

For the acoustic period, the NY Philharmonic concert is amazing. He puts so much emotion into it that’s not on the records. At the beginning of Dont Think Twice the crowd kind of nervously laughs at him because he is just screaming his heart out.

He sounded decent in his early years but his voice got worse later on.
Voice lessons would have done him a lot of good.

He'll probably die a billionaire, maybe he'll be OK.

You would be surprised how much improved these singers would be with voice lessons.

I don't disagree in most cases, but Dylan is a different type of thing.
He has been such a huge success, due to being exactly what he is.
He's made most of his money from singers covering his songs over and over.
That's because they always know they can make them sound prettier.
If he had a perfect voice and was nailing every song, people would be less likely to cover them.
If you can't top the original, what's the point in covering it?
" Lay Lady Lay" is a good example. He did a really great job singing that song on the original recording and hardly anybody ever covered it. Only The Everly Brothers that I can think of, even though it's a great song.
I think his voice has been a great benefit to him.
