Duluth MN, United States (1941 – present)
Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota) is an American musician, poet and artist whose position in popular culture is unique.
Although his career began in 1959, much of Dylan’s best known work is from the 1960s, when he became an informal documentarian and reluctant figurehead of American unrest. Some of his songs, such as “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “The Times They Are A-Changin’”, became anthems of the anti-war and civil rights movements. His song “Like A Rolling Stone”, released in July of 1965, was named “The Greatest Song of All Time” by Rolling Stone magazine in 2004, placing #1 in a list of 500 titles. Dylan remains an influential and popular artist; his most recent album of new songs, 2009’s Together Through Life, reached #1 on the charts in the US, Britain, France and several other countries.
Dylan’s early lyrics incorporated politics, social commentary, philosophy and literary influences, defying existing pop music conventions and appealing widely to the counterculture of the time. While expanding and personalizing musical styles, Dylan has shown steadfast devotion to traditions of American song, from folk and country/blues to rock and roll and rockabilly, to Gaelic balladry, even jazz, swing and Broadway.
After becoming a Christian, Dylan explored themes of faith, redemption and love while mining the gospel vein. In a few years he found an equilibrium. His last albums can be seen as new highlights in his important career.

I have Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde On Blonde, Bringing It All Back Home, and The Times They Are-a-Changin and so far The Times They Are-a-Changin is definitely my favorite. Some of it is pretty dark but it seems like there's a lot of emotion in it.

Buy Blonde On Blonde, then Highway 61 Revisited, perhaps Freewheelin' Bob Dylan and then sprinkle some Desire, Blood On The Tracks, Street Legal and Oh Mercy on top. Then you'll have a good foundation and can continue with the rest...
