Alex Ross, music critic for the New Yorker, lists the Dylan songs he has on his iPod (thanks to Lyle for the link):

1. Tangled Up in Blue (original version)
2. Simple Twist of Fate
3. You’re a Big Girl Now (original version)
4. Idiot Wind (original verson)
5. Freeze Out (original version of “Visions of Johanna” w/ The Hawks)
6. Million Dollar Bash (unreleased Basement Tapes version)
7. Abandoned Love (live at the Other End, 1974)
8. The Groom’s Still Waiting at the Altar (live at the Fox Warfield, 1980, w/ Michael Bloomfield)
9. Sign on the Cross
10. Most Of The Time
11. Angelina
12. Blind Willie McTell
13. Series Of Dreams
14. The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll (live at the El Rey Theater, 1997)

That’s an offbeat (although very good) list, considering that all but two of the recordings (Simple Twist of Fate and Most Of The Time) either are now or once were only available as bootlegs. But then what you pick to listen to on your iPod is not the same as an official list of favorites, I suppose. It’s what is interesting to your ear at the moment. If I owned an iPod I’d understand this all much better, I’m sure.
