Judas!

The Bob Dylan electric trilogy: three albums in a little over a year, March 1965 to the summer of 1966, in which he plugged in and the folk audience took it personally. The set is named after the heckle at Manchester's Free Trade Hall in May 1966, when someone shouted "Judas!" and Dylan told the band to play it loud before "Like a Rolling Stone".

They run in release order, and the order is the story. Bringing It All Back Home is half and half: an electric band on side one, mostly Dylan alone on side two. Highway 61 Revisited, released a month after Newport, is fully electric, with Mike Bloomfield's guitar and Al Kooper's organ, and opens with "Like a Rolling Stone". Blonde on Blonde moves to Nashville, with session players plus Kooper and Robbie Robertson, and stretches across a double album. Dylan later described the sound he was after as thin, wild mercury, and this is where he found it.

If you only have time for one, play Highway 61 Revisited. It is the sharpest of the three and the one with no folk left in it, and its first side is as good as anything he recorded.
