    Knocked Out Loaded LP 1986          
The Bootleg Series, volumes 1-3     (Officially sanctioned by Bob) CD 1991 This collection of bootleg music, long traded underground, is in some ways better than any of his official recordings. It's Dylan at his most inspired.
    Time Out of Mind CD 1997          
In the Pines                     ( Bootleg, recordings from 1961 - 1965 ) CD ( Released 1998 ) A great bootleg ( not an official release ) that contains a lot of recordings from a very young Dylan, in his early 20's. Some very good Folk stuff.
    Love and Theft CD 2001   Dylan continues following his own muse, with this recording sounding like very traditional American Folk music, though with an almost carnival-like feel.

Mystery to Me LP 1973
    Fleetwood Mac   ( Same name as first album. A new beginning? ) LP 1975   Their first recording with Lindsey Buckingham. This was their 11th lineup, since the original version of the band. This is the version everyone remembers.

Selling England by the Pound LP 1973
    The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway CD 1974   Their last recording with Peter Gabriel. Some good songs on it, but the majority are actually quite tedious to listen to. Musically, it's sort of like reading Kant.
