>Dylan, already ahead of most rockers, took another prodigious step forward with the double album Blonde On Blonde (CBS, May 1966), recorded in Nashville between october 1965 and march 1966, a milestone of the twentieth century, one of the greatest cultural divides of the times. This album closed an era and began another. After Blonde On Blonde rock music would not longer be an underground phenomenon or a commercial enterprise, it would be an art form. With Blonde On Blonde begins the process of quality control that would transform every record into a work of art. With Blonde On Blonde rock rivals jazz among the great musical conquests of the twentieth century.

It seems to be because a lot of folks think he was still skirting around the idea of going electric on it, hence the acoustic side.

Which is stupid since none of those songs besides MAYBE It's Alright Ma would work with a rock instrumentation.

>Bringing It All Back Home
For some reason, it's one of the most overlooked albums in Bob Dylan's discography. It has Subterranean Homesick Blues and the whole B-side of the album is nothing but classics: Mr. Tambourine Man, Gates of Eden, It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding), It's All Over Now, Baby Blue.

I've deleted my post because of formatting issues. However, I never understood the complaints about Dylan going electric. It's not as if he had lost sincerity right there and then, although the majority of other modern folk musicians have. Especially those is the indie folk realm.
