The greatest song of all time
Recently here I made a post about the paucity of good music and
singers. Gone are the throaty voices of males instead we get the vapory air breathed sounds of mice.
Just now Bob Dylan's song "Like a rolling stone" has been voted the greatest song of all time. Which is a pretty big accolade. Stuff.co.nz
Here are the lyrics to the song (of which some I never knew)
http://bobdylan.com/songs/r...
and here is a review of the song, what makes it so great.
Reading this you can see the talent and creativity from the lyrics, to the music, to the voice that really shows how it achieved its fame as the greatest song of all time.

Definitely a must read for anyone wanting to improve their knowledge of popular music.

LONDON: Bob Dylan's song Like a Rolling Stone topped a
poll to find the 100 songs, movies, TV shows and books that "changed the world" in the opinion of musicians, actors and industry experts.
Dylan's 1965 single beat Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel into second place in the survey for Uncut magazine.
Sir Paul McCartney, Noel Gallagher, Robert Downey Jr, Rolling Stone Keith Richards and Lou Reed were among those who gave their views for the poll.
I absolutely remember where I was when I first heard it. It got me through adolescence, rocker Patti Smith said of the winning song.
