It would be impossible for me to pick a favorite Dylan song... too imposing a catalog for that. I'll pick a song for the day though.. here are the lyrics for 'Not Dark Yet:'
Shadows are fallin' and I've been here all day It's too hot to sleep and time is runnin' away I feel like my soul has turned into steel I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
There's not even room enough to be anywhere It's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there
Well, my sense of humanity has gone down the drain Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind She put down in writin' what was in her mind
I just don't see why I should even care It's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there
Well, I've been to London and I been to gay Paris I've followed the river and I got to the sea I've been down on the bottom of the world full of lies I ain't lookin' for nothin' in anyone's eyes
Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear It's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there
I was born here and I'll die here against my will I know it looks like I'm movin' but I'm standin' still Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb I can't even remember what it was, I came here to get away from
Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer It's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there

They all are but especially “Serve Somebody” and “Workingman’s Blues.” Then too, “Hurricane” rocks pretty good...

One More Night
The stars are in sight
But tonight I’m as lonely as can be.
Saw Bob three times.

His song “Isis”- song about his ex i beleive?

He also had a few Christian albums i beleive- he became born again and really lived his faith on his sleeves, which his fans apparently didn’t like, but he stuck to his faith and preaching between songs, knowing that it would hurt his overall bottom line.

Maggie's Farm
Bob Dylan standing loud and proud in front of Pete Seger and the rest of the folksie communist at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival and telling them in song, how utterly pathetic and meaningless they all were will forever be my favorite Dylan song/moment.

I never caught on to any of his songs, I much preferred Joni Mitchell from that era.
