Story:
Now we are talking rock history! The single "Like A Rolling Stone" never made it
to number one in USA but it broke the three minute hit rule. As usual Bob was way ahead of
everybody else. The music world wasn't ready for songs like this. So in that perspective
it's amazing it did make it as far as number two! The whole album are filled with images,
characters and spitting sarcasm against the established society. Maybe this is his most
timeless album. These songs are songs for today, tomorrow, yesterday and everyday, this
album doesn't feel "old". It's new everytime you pick it out for a listen. A
genius' work at it's peak! I won't single out any songs here, it's pure masterwork from
the first note to the last.
