Norwegian Wood is a total ripoff of the Dylan classic 4th Time Around from the Blonde on Blonde record.

Except for the fact that Norwegian Wood was released in 1965 (on Rubber Soul) and Blonde on Blonde was released in 1966.

In fact, according to allmusic.com, pissant has it completely backwards about who ripped off who:
"Norwegian Wood," in addition to having a lovely melody and folk-based arrangement, was one of the first Lennon- McCartney songs to excite as much comment for the words as it did for the music. As with much of Rubber Soul, the mood was very much a folk-rock one, with the subtle ghost of Bob Dylan hovering over principal lyricist John Lennon's wordplay. Dylan, in fact, recorded a semi-parody of "Norwegian Wood," "Fourth Time Around," on Blonde on Blonde, which was okay but not as good as the tune it was gently mocking, and not as funny as it might have been intended to be."

In my opinion, Rubber Soul is the single most important album of the Beatles era (I was 15 at the time it was realeased). It was the very first album ever with a theme and not just a collection of songs.

Even today, I still enjoy listening to it on CD and my two teenagers love it too and are amazed at the musical diversity of the various tracks.
