FIRST TIME HEARING | Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone 

Bob Dylan actually won the 2016 Nobel Prize for literature and is considered one of the world's foremost lyrics poets as well.

The greatest artist of the past 100 years!

My uncle was a HUGE Bob Dylan fan. In the 60's the U.S. Air Force stationed my uncle in West Berlin and Bob Dylan was his sound track. When my uncle passed away a few years ago, his best friend and Air Force buddy, put together a heart warming video of my uncle accompanied with Bob Dylan's music. It's hard for me to think of one and not the other.

Consider the number one song of all time.

Harmonica

Bob Dylan is arguably the best songwriter in modern music. Another must listen to Dylan song is “The Times They Are A Changing”. It is commentary on social and civil rights in the early 1960’s. His catalog is deep and wide, ranging from folk to rock music. He even has a few songs that sound similar to rap music but they were written many years before rap was even imagined.

It's difficult to overstate the influence and impact of this song and this album on what followed in rock/popular music. It helped to push The Beatles to begin writing more than simple tunes, for example.

His son Jacob Dylan is also a musician, check out his group called The Wallflowers! Jacob definitely resembles his dad!

Highest order.

Please try Positively 4th Street as well.

Didn't really have to do so much with the time. Dylan was just unique. I suggest these Dylan songs: Tangled Up In Blue, Shelter From The Storm, Visions Of Johanna, Things Have Changed, Positively 4th St. & It's All Over Now Baby Blue

No. 1 song of all time. This version.

Dylan was always ahead of the times. Even now:)

How novel……real musicians playing real instruments - not pressing computer buttons - and truly poetic lyrics that make you listen and think? Welcome to the days of real music and true artistry, in this case Dylan, arguably the most iconic and influential singer/songwriter/ recording artist of all time, young man! So glad you can appreciate it. There are some seriously talented musical artists today, but far fewer than in the days of my youth (I’m 78). If it’s the level of artistry which Dylan and others of his day represent that you seek, methinks you were unfortunately born a few generations too late! Thanks for helping to keep recognition of this music alive.

My Dad played Dylan all the time growing up. This one is among his best.

We had no personal computers, no cell phone , no loops, no drum machine, just real humans playing real musical instruments. It more authentic and honest than the crap noise today.

A skater look. Lol lol lol. Right on, man.

This is one of the all time great albums. In terms of pushing the old analog technology to it's limit, you should check out Pet Sounds from the Beach Boys. Good Vibrations is a masterpiece of production, hugely influential. Layering instruments over and over on tape, cutting and splicing it by hand, most modern musicians and producers wouldn't get a look in. However, unlike now you were given more of a chance to grow, fail and redeem yourself.

As an elderly man in my mid 70s, this was our version of Hiip Hop. Dylan spitting the real deal. No autotune, just lyrics and musicians.

This is a live in the studio track. That is how Dylan rolls. The players had no charts. They received no instructions .There were no overdubs. They tried 14 takes that day. After 3 false starts something magical happened on take 4 . They had this complete track. It is raw because each player was learning the song from scratch and imperfections abound . But it has that magic. They did not complete any of the takes that followed . Classic song everyone has covered.

The song is about Edie Sedgwick...high class girl who got into the Andy Warhol group and it changed her life negatively. She died at age 28 as a result of drug abuse...street drugs which is referred to in the song.

Just enjoy him. He'll take you on a journey that will last for the rest of your life (and if there is a beyond, he'll take you through that too).

If Dylan’s music doesn’t make you think-you’re not hearing it

Deep deep deep 🐇 hole ☮️

Jimi Hendrix did a great live version of this song. Check it out! 🤙😎

One hell of a 6 minute DISS track, before diss tracks were a thing.

It would take sometimes months to record a record because of no technology, not like today where they do it in a few weeks. Technology is not always the best thing. The group The Band was once Bob's band before going on their own. In the mid-1960s, they gained recognition for backing Bob Dylan, and the 1966 concert tour was notable as Dylan's first with an electric Bob played acoustic guitar and the harmonica.

Brother, if you liked this, you NEED to listen to "Positively 4th Street" by Bob...you won't believe your ears. GREAT reaction man!

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

back in the day you didn't need computers-just talent!

It's a "mouth harp" AKA harmonica.

Certain amount of anger here, at who has been a source of speculation.

You just got hit with a dylan

Think Stevie and Lindsey of Fleetwood had issues? This is Bob to Joan.

Edie Sedgwick is the subject of the song. She was the girlfriend of his friend folksinger Bob Neuwirth. She was a "Warhol Girl" Famous for being pretty and glamorous. The "diplomat" on the chrome horse is probably Andy Warhol, who was a pop icon that dabbled in every form of art.
