You could probably add 'Blood On The Tracks' and 'Desire'. But personally, I believe Dylan's two early albums 'Freewheelin'
and 'The Times They Are A-Changin' are both masterpieces in their own right. Lots of gems from early Bob Dylan on both these
records including 'A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall'.

I never expected to hear Dylan's "Hard Rain" vocal today. Struck a nerve!
Amazing after all these years this song seems so current. One of my all time favorite Bob Dylan songs.
Timeless. Thank you, Peter.

"Hard Rain is a desperate kind of song. It was written during the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962, when those who allowed themselves to think of the possible results of the Kennedy-Khrushchev confrontation were chilled by the imminence of oblivion. Every line in it is actually the start of a whole song. But when I wrote it, I thought I wouldn't have time enough alive to write all those songs, so I put all I could into this one."
- Bob Dylan
