when i get a new job or a pay risethe first month, i always spend the difference on something fun. when i moved jobs from uxbridge back to the city, my salary more than doubled.... that was a great month......
extra - to be honest, most of what i buy is frivolous, so it's hard to distinguish.
days off - holidays, seeing friends, chilling out. next day off will be for alton towers, then barcelona for a hen-do.
new musics - not heard anything new for aaaaaages

You can't really go wrong with anything between his 2nd-7th albumsOutside of that it is pretty much down to personal preference - there are some gems, some duff ones.
As Chompy refers to, he had a bit of a return to form in the mid 70s with Desire.
Or just go for The Best of Bob Dylan.
