I had planned on a Top 30 combined "new release" and "archival" list, but I ran out of room. Sorry, I don't have time for writing the usual capsule reviews for the albums on my list this year. See you in 2014, mofos.
*Bob's 10th bootleg series release is probably really my #1 album of the year, but sometimes I need to hide the degree of my Dylanphile-ness in order to maintain overall credibility.
