#5 Best Albums of 1979- Slow Train Coming by Bob Dylan

This is beginning to show a bit of an obsession, but no, there's more albums on this list that aren't Dylan, of course.  Coming in at #5 is the aforementioned Bobster with his first Christian release.  It received mixed reviews upon release, probably more because of its lyrical content than its musical content.  The main highlight is the soulful "Gotta Serve Somebody,"and of course the also-soulful title track.  Dylan had been eclectic before, but this was a first.  There were two Christian albums after this, but this one was easily the best.  The excellent album art also begs questions as to its meaning.  Open for interpretation, and first-rate music... -Ian
