The one you could argue puts Bob over the top (and like you I’m talking broad consensus rather than personal taste - obviously!) is Murder Most Foul. That song got so much acclaim, more than any song he’d done in years/decades. And his first song to top a Billboard chart (a secondary one, but still). Prob too early to say for sure but I think it would be the contender.
Interesting that Bob Dylan has not made a classic since 1997. Given his prolific songwriting, album releases and touring. Kind of fascinating!
Well I think he’s released many classics since 1997 … but I tried to remove my personal opinion as much as I could lol
I think Dylan gets there with a little more analysis. "Love and Theft" and Modern Times both topped some critics' year end lists and got Grammy love.
Ah, reading comprehension fail. I'm just now realizing that you focused on songs, not albums.

Agreed. I think something from tempest could make the cut too. “Make You Feel My Love” is without question a classic though in my eyes
