A lot of people talk about Dylan as if no one can come close to his songwriting abilities, and I think that's slightly ridiculous.
Then how, in your next post, is he "underrated"?
Not sure about the Beatles being the best songwriters
ever. As far as verse-chorus-verse-chorus four-beats-to-a-bar popular music-that-everyone-can-cheer-to goes, they may be in with a shout.
But that's an entire different topic altogether.
As for an introduction to Dylan, I'd say
Bringing It All Back Home. Work your way back to his first album,
Bob Dylan, and then after that start moving forward. That's the way I did it, leaving bootleg releases out and then filling them in at the end.
