I don't particularly care for the latter
Beatles album on this list, but since I was scraping around for list fillers, it made the cut. However, I either really like, or love the rest of these albums. The Jazz albums are up there with some of my favourite of all time, with #1 and #2 being nailed on classics in my opinion.
Highway 61 is comfortably my favourite
Dylan record, and the only one I would listen to out of choice, as opposed to a binge.
Overall, this is just an okay year for me. I am certain there's plenty of albums I have not had the pleasure of listening to as of right now, but this is the best I have so far.
