Two discs of music don't exactly provide for a thorough overview of four decades of recording, particularly if the subject of the retrospective is one of the most important and prolific performers of his time. So The Essential Bob Dylan definitely skates over the leagues-deep oeuvre of Dylan, summarizing his monumental first half-dozen years in disc one and skirting over the following 34 years in disc two. Delving into Columbia's three Dylan greatest-hits packages (though curiously purging "I Want You," a genuine hit single in its day), Essential offers only a few surprises, opting for The Basement Tapes version of "Quinn the Eskimo" over the Self Portrait remake that made it onto Greatest Hits Volume II and tossing in "Things Have Changed" from the Wonder Boys soundtrack for completists. But this 30-track overview is designed with newcomers, not Dylanologists, in mind. --Steven Stolder

Visitor comments about Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan

“Best lyricist and singer of all time. Bob Dylan is truly the master of folk.”

“Musical perfection.”

“Lyrical, melodic bliss. A masterpiece layered in meaning.”

“Timeless Classic
”

“As Jimi Hendrix on the guitar, Rock and Roll found on this song a new movement, a new ideal. And it is intemporal. I'll live with it.”

“Yeah!”

“Bob Dylan's masterpiece is by far the greatest song of all time. While Bohemian Rhapsody and Stairway to Heaven are art. Like a Rolling Stone changed everything including music, pop culture, and simply the world. Even musicians like the Beatles and Bruce Springsteen agree.”

“are u kidding me easily the best song ever!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“My God what is this doing so far down the list even rolling stone gave this song number one of all time.”

“While songs like Stairway to Heaven and Bohemien Rhapsody are classics, they were songs, Bob Dylan's, like a Rolling Stone, was a movement. So in addition to the power of the lyrics, the song helped changed the history of Rock and Roll; hence #1.”

“This song easily surpasses any other; it's witty, poetical, and original - and Dylan performs it with unrestrained coolness.”

“HA! i love this song, it so happens i was listening to it as i scrolled down the page and saw it. great song, too far down on the list”

“dylan wrote lyrics how there supposed to be and this is his greatest”

“ground breaking”

“c'mon... what kinda people vote on this thing? like a rolling stone at 15?!?!? you people don't know music..
”

“This is the second best written piece of music ever. Beethoven's 9th is the best. Greetings from Holland!”

“May be the best song ever written, and one of few that manages to combine pop music with a serious lyrical theme without sounding awkward.

Was kind of tempted to vote on Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division as well...”

Ekolod

“16? 16?! Barracuda's 6 but this is 16? Come on people..”

JoboKin

“greatest song ever written by the greatest songwriter in history”
