I don't think a Dylan collection can be called complete without The Basement Tapes. Whether the originally released two album set or the recent complete set, it's must-have Dylan.

Couldn't agree more!
A very great band, perhaps underrated if one consider the playing skills of his members.
In particular, I always liked the interplay between Richard Manuel on piano and Garth Hudson on organ, the songwriting of Robertson and Manuel, the voices of Danko and Helms. There wasn't a soloist who stood out over other, but a tight-knit group where every musician worked for the ensemble more than for himself.
I own Music From big Pink in the remastered edition with many bonus tracks. I don't listen often to this fine album, but every time I do, I discover something new.
One honorable mention for the double live album Rock Of Ages recorded in New York City, a little obscured by the memorable Last Waltz featuring great guest stars.

Both brilliant albums imo. Especially Before the Flood. Sometimes Dylan can be a little overpowering with his presence but with this album there is a very nicely balanced mix of Dylan and the Band.could`ve a better backing band for Dylan, "The Flood", "Basement Tapes" surely two great albums.....well I think so!!!!
