"Nashville Skyline" from 1969 will always be a favourite, with a nice country vide & my personal fave "Tonight I'll be staying here with you"
"Self Portrait" from 1970 is often disregarded. But on this double album of covers, Dylans' voice had seldom sounded better.
"Desire" from 1976 is, I think Dylans' best from that decade. Wonderful musicianship, great production (often a weak point on Dylan albums) and some solid songs.

I agree about
John Wesley Harding, and liked some of the softer numbers like
Copper Kettle on
Self Portrait, but overall that album is way too patchy for me. Have you listened to
Another Self Portrait ? To me, it´s a much more consistent collection of songs.
Yes,
Desire is wonderful, but the chronologically next,
Street Legal is even more powerful imo.

I would love to see Dylan, just acoustic guitar plus a few backing musicians, in a club situation.

^ Dream on, Moshe ! I don´t think he does that any more, but your comment reminded me of this. It´s from when I invited the guys around to my house in Athens one time:-
