Where do I start with Dylan?
Cronologicalmente
Don't. He's the most overrated fuck to ever pick up a guitar, don't even bother
idk I dont listen to dylan

Start with Bringing It All Back Home since it has great examples of both of his styles, his acoustic style and electric style. If you want acoustic music with more straightforward lyrics though, go with Freewheelin' Bob Dylan or The Times Are A-Changin'

definitely start with his worst most hated shit and do everything you can to ignore his most acclaimed work
Blonde on Blonde on Blonde on Blonde

Pretty much this.
If you like the folkey stuff off of Bringing It All Back Home, you'd probably like more of his earlier stuff. Otherwise, you may enjoy the rest of his folk rock trilogy, being Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde.
He had two main peaks, those being in the mid-60s and mid-70s.
Blood on the Tracks. Then stop.

He did an incredible Christmas album a few years back.
With his first album, like you would with any other artist.

This.
Freewheelin' Bob Dylan is GOAT
Girl from North Country is one of my all time favorite songs. Just simple, poignant, and pure.
"I got started just at the right time to take advantage of folk music. Ten years earlier, I wouldn't have known what that was, and ten years later it was gone. Folk either got commercialized or it was killed off by the Beatles. I decided to be a songwriter. I couldn't be a hellfire rock-and-roller, but I could write hellfire lyrics."

[spoiler] his only good album was his debut album [/spoiler]

He's not playing jazz, you know? And who could possibly be behind this post?

Highway 61, Blood on the Tracks, Bringing it all Back Home.
They're some of the best in his discography, has some recognizable songs (it's easy to think of those songs as just "hits", but songs like Mr Tambourine Man and Like A Rolling Stone are legitimately god tier) and feature some of his best lyrics coupled with some of his best written and arranged songs.

Or you could listen to Street-Legal and Infidels if you want to hear Dylan channel his inner /r9k/.
>Ah bloo bloo women suck so much woe is me
if dubs he croaks this year
Everything before Blonde on Blonde is GOAT!
Everything between Blonde on Blonde to Blood on The Tracks is definitely worth having/listening to even if 50% of it doesn't make sense lyric wise. After Blood on The Tracks you're either a die hard Dylan fan or just a casual listener who appreciates what he did in the past.

listen to tombstone blues, not any live version

I'd say no in this case. His first album has practically no songwriting of his own, his "real" first album is Freewheelin'.
