The amazing thing about Infidels is that Bob chose not to include the best material from those recording sessions on the album itself! (They were released 8 years later on the Bootleg Series). The songs I'm referring to, of course, are "Blind Willie McTell", "Lord Protect my Child," and "Foot of Pride." If those tunes were included I'd put Infidels as Dylan's best.

Equally puzzling is Dylan choosing not to include "Dignity" and "Series of Dreams" - two of the best songs in his entire catalogue - on
Oh Mercy.
Bob's a weird dude.

I'm not sure they are the better than the material on the original album, but he certainly could have made a double album. But yeah, the bootleg series has some real gems from all his eras up to that point.
I absolutely love the song called Wallflower, a little country tune that was included (by a different singer) in a movie I saw, and I cannot remember the movie, though I think it had Dennis Quaid in it. Nobody 'Cept You is awesome as is Seven Days.
