Bob Dylan

Fuck the detractors, from 1963 to 1966 he produced an impressive sequence of masterpieces (also of incalculable influence, by the way), a sequence that for me peaks with "Highway 61 Revisited." Then, after "Blonde on Blonde," begins the rollercoaster phase of his career. He still gifted us with two more masterpieces ("Blood on the Tracks" and "Desire") anyway, and they are not the only other great albums post-'60s ("Time Out of Mind" is from '97).
