Not Dark Yet

I love it when iTunes serves up a tune that suits my mood or frame of mind. Winamp was fairly good at the empathetic symbiosis, better than iTunes has been historically, but I've come to like other features of iTunes too much to switch back. The occasional prescient musical offering, even in lower frequency, is simply butter on the banana bread

I've heard some decent stuff about World Gone Wrong and should have included that one the list as well.

I hadn't realized it was produced by Mark Knopfler...

You have Dylan's three best already. "Modern Times" and "Love & Theft" sit in the canon next to most of his work from the 80's: they're not exceedingly bad, but they're really not very good, or even memorable. In 15 years, they won't be in print, and the only reason they're getting good reviews now is because Dylan is old and everyone feels obliged to kiss his ass. Dylan has had one great album ("Time Out of Mind") since 1975, and some great songs scattered around, but nothing really solid.
