I appreciate that for many the concept of having an order of tracks on an album is a bit passe, but I can remember the days of CDs and before that vinyl when you put a new LP on and the first track would blow your socks off (often to be followed by dirge, filler and meh-ness).

Which opening tracks did it for you?

Jenny was a Friend of Mine from the Hot Fuss album (Killers)

Anyway, I think that was the first track

It's not a great version but it is Dylan

Thanks but eventually found the original, which as you rightly say is MUCH better!
