Thye should have slid up a few notches. they will be listened to forever.
Dylan wrote the best songs. Nobody doubts that. His "Positively Fourth Street" changed music forever. For the first time, songs longer than three minutes got air play. The lyrics were completely different than any other song on the air. Not pop. Something new. Revolutionary.
You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning
You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that's winning
You say I let you down
You know it's not like that
If you're so hurt
Why then don't you show it
You say you lost your faith
But that's not where it's at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it
I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You're in with
Do you take me for such a fool
To think I'd make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don't know to begin with
You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, "How are you?" "Good luck"
But you don't mean it
When you know as well as me
You'd rather see me paralyzed
Why don't you just come out once
And scream it
No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I'd rob them
And now I know you're dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don't you understand
It's not my problem
I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is
To see you

LOL. that's what I thought. Pretty talentless bunch
Madonna over ANYONE. uhg!
I think Bob Dylan revolutionized R&R, and would have regardless. But it would have been interesting to see how some of the 50s icons transformed into the mid to late 1960s. It was less than pretty for most of them.
I'll have to go with the Clash, though the Ramones were argualbly more influential.
I used to wear the same outfits as her. ;o)
As you know, I'm not a big Zep fan, but they CERTAINLY deserve to be on anyone's top 25 list.
I know there was some great R&R then. Think Elvis, J. Cash, Carl Perkins, etc. But it was also a great age of jazz!!
Yes they were. Never were my cup of tea. I was too busy wearing out the grooves to Aqualung and Thick as a Brick.

"In this room the heat pipes just cough."
How the hell does one come up with such lyrics??
Or another fave...
He's a great humanitarian
He's a great philanthropist
he knows just where to tocuh you baby
And how you liked to be kissed.
Unreal
What about "Benefit"?
Good freaking grief. Keith Richards is getting some competition.
The Beach Boys at number 20 and no Todd Rundgren???? Todd is a musical genius.
Great song! My personal Dylan favorites are "Hurricane" and "Its All Over Now, Baby Blue".
Eric Burdon does a fine version of Baby Blue. I sent it to you. Hope you like it.
Benefit is great too. I even like Passion Play, which few people like. I'm that big of a Tull fan.
That 1977 Animals reunion album was EXCELLENT. Had Baby Blue on it.
