The 45 Greatest Songs of All Time That Sparked A Cultural Reset

Like a Rolling Stone, Bob Dylan, 1965, Folk rock

Bob Dylan is a major figure in popular culture and is best known for his music that touches political, social, philosophical, and literary influences. His songs became anthems for civil rights and anti-war movements. One of which is the highly acclaimed “Like a Rolling Stone,” released in 1965.

The song originally had four verses, and several records were unimpressed with its length and heavy electric sound. When a copy was leaked into a popular club and was patronized by influential DJs, it conquered Billboard and worldwide charts. Dylan’s handwritten lyrics to the song fetched $2 million in an auction, marking a world record for a popular music manuscript.
