Top 20 best Bob Dylan songs?

I'm a huge Bob Dylan fan but have never come up with a definitive list. My current top 10:
1) Visions of Johanna
2) Like a Rolling Stone
3) The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll
4) It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
5) Mississippi
6) Where Are You Tonight (Journey Through Dark Heat)
7) Ballad of a Thin Man
8) Don't Think Twice, It's Alright
9) You Ain't Goin' Nowhere
10) Tryin' To Get To Heaven

It's a nearly impossible list to come up with and I could probably trade out all of these songs for others and be completely happy with it. What is your top 20?
Tip for best answer: M$3.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I can't pull 20 off the top of my head, but I do want to put in a plug for "Last Thoughts On Woody Guthrie", from the bootleg collection.

"There's this book coming out, and they asked me to write something about Woody, kind of like, what does Woody Guthrie mean to you, in 25 words. I couldn't do it, I wrote out 5 pages, and I have it here..."

Great tribute, highly recommended.
