I'm surprised you have never done Mr. Tamborine Man, it's one of Dylan's most famous (and best) songs. The Byrds version is nice but only does one verse and this is a song where every word counts. Have you already heard it? If not, it should be at the top of your list. Close behind are It's Allright Ma I'm Only Bleeding, A Hard Rain's-a-gonna Fall...oh screw it. You've already done plenty of songs and all I can say is you've barely scratched the surface.

You guys have heard a fair bit of electric Dylan, but not so much earlier acoustic Dylan, and while there are still several powerful "later-period" albums to hit (Blonde On Blonde, Blood On the Tracks), there's a wonderful contrast to be observed in his earlier works, which substituted the symbolist poetry of '65-75 for very poignant, direct storytelling. All of his first four albums are worth hearing to hear that; or for the exact opposite end of the chronology, I think "Murder Must Foul" from 2020 is perhaps the highlight of his career. But then you could probably hit a Dylan record every month and I'd be okay with it.
