Here are five excellant covers
If Not For You - George Harrison Its All Over Now Baby Blue - Bryan Ferry To Make You Feel My Love -Adele I'll Be Your Baby Tonight - Robert Palmer Mighty Quinn - Manfred Mann's Earth Band
I find trying to pick a top 5 almost impossible. However, I will pick out an all time favourite which reminds me of being in St Peter’s Youth club in Woolwich on the pinball whilst Rainy Day Woman was on the jukebox.

Dylanesque, an album by Bryan Ferry, is very good.
I like doing lists but this one really is impossible! Idiot Wind Ballad of a Thin Man Tangled Up in Blue Desolation Row Wedding Song (like a pilot for the next album along!)
But how the hell do I not include Isis, Like a Rolling Stone, etc etc etc.
I've hardly heard any of his recordings made since about 1980 .. so, in no particular order
Shelter From the Storm Highway 61 Revisited Stuck Inside of Mobile (With the Memphis Blues Again) Too Much of Nothing Hurricane
Listen to his last album, Lincs - 'Rough and Rowdy Ways' released last year. It holds comparison with some of his best.
It would be interesting to see what Lincs thought of R and RW if he hasn’t heard Dylan since 1980 - personally I don’t get the praise for latter day Dylan as the last couple of albums have been pretty poor, by his high standards.
Oxford Town Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands Never Say Goodbye Ring Them Bells Not Dark Yet
Top 5 live versions:
Tomorrow is a long time (1963, Greatest Hits volume 2) Visions of Johanna (Royal Albert Hall) Isis (Rolling Thunder Review) Idiot Wind (Hard Rain) All Along the Watchtower (Budokan)
Top 5 bootleg series studio outtakes:
Farewell Angelina Tangled Up In Blue (New York version) Abandoned Love Blind Willie McTell Series of Dreams

I agree he's done nothing since Tempest in 2012 - the three cover albums aint Dylan! (I still bought them though!). R&RW though is for me Dylan back to his best story telling and poetic lyrics. It's different but nearer to the pre-80s stuff than anything since.

WTF?
Lulu doing Tambourine Man was probably more cringe worthy! (correction - as cringe worthy!).
