Bob Dylan's best acoustic album and it isn't even close.

Blood on the Tracks? I guess that has some electric instruments on it. Unless you were just referring to solo acoustic before he went electric, then I'd probably agree. I tend to find Freewheelin' a tad overrated but it's still Dylan. Hard Rain - Don't Think Twice is still one of my favorite Dylan 1-2s.

Damn I forgot Miles Davis.
How?
No idea.
 
Here’s a top 5, since there’s not much I know about music from ‘63.
  1. Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady
  2. The Beatles - Please Please Me
  3. Philles Records - A Christmas Gift for You
  4. The Beatles - With The Beatles
  5. Bob Dylan - The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan
 
Haven’t listened to much jazz from this year at all and it looks like that’s where the depth is in ‘63. So just imagine the other 5 albums on this list are jazz.

1. Bob Dylan - Freewheelin’
2. The Beatles - With The Beatles
3. James Brown - Live At The Apollo
4. The Beatles - Please Please Me
5. The Beach Boys - Surfin’ USA
 
I haven't narrowed down my list to ten yet. This seems like a very deep year for good to very good albums with only a few all timers (to me anyways). Glad to see The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady getting so much love. Definitely my favorite jazz album ever and one of my handful of all time favorites. Great year for Mingus with Mingus Plays Piano and Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus as well.
 
What a year for Jazz!

2. Beach Boys - Surfin' U.S.A.
3. The Beatles - With The Beatles
