Ian Gomez
Basically this
You can't deny the influence and cultural relevance of the song, plus it's so widely known and quoted
Nathaniel Sanchez
The correct answer is actually California Dreamin'
Thomas Miller
>greatest song of all time
Not even best song of the century
Not even best song of the decade
Not even best song by Bob Dylan
Not even best song on the album
Not even on the best Dylan album of that year
Christopher Bailey
Is this what being a contrarian is all about?
Thomas Myers
>he thinks Bringing It All Back Home is better than Highway 61 Revisited
wew bud
Eli Diaz
>he thinks BIABH home is better that H61R
holy contrarian pleb batman
Justin Wilson
None of those are contrarian opinions. It's not like Dylan's other album of that year was Self-Portrait.
And no, I'm not the user you're replying to.
Nolan Long

'Bringing it all back home' is his lyrical peak. He managed to use his 'electric trilogy' abstract and surreal lyricism while still being grounded in politics and philosophy. 'Subterranean homesick blues' is an umbrella of social commentary shrouded in colorful imagery and language, but he stands in neutral ground between drugged out nonsense and smart-assed protest, 'maggies farm' really works that same way. On, 'Bob Dylans 115th dream' he tells a coherent story, whilst alluding across history, literature, and providing a delivery that makes the song humorous instead of just nonsense. Not much that hasn't been said about 'mr. Tambourine man', who's lyrics alone inspired a wave of new ideas, images and sonics in 60s psych. 'Gates of eden' is like an old protest Dylan tale, but framed in otherworldly contexts, its apocalyptic and mystical. 'Its alright, ma', is among the best lyricism of all popular music, and what i think is Dylan's strongest, commercialism, death, war, fear, ideas Dylan visited individually most of the time, were deconstructed into random objects, weather patterns, people, places and brought together in a melting pot of suffering. (I know yall arent gonna read this, i just really like this album)

Dylan Martinez
I actually think Don't Think Twice It's Alright and Positvely 4th Street are better
Zachary Scott
how can you say BIABH is his lyrical peak when Visions of Johanna is on BoB?
Thomas Johnson
easily
Josiah Clark
Reminder that Don't Think Twice It's Alright is a rip-off
>but muh folk process
The original was written by a guy around Dylan's age.

'BIABH' is to 'Highway' what 'revolver' is to 'Sgt Pepper' , one is lauded as the landmark album, mainly for its historical and cultural significance, while really only providing a couple good "tricks", while the other is a more concentrated effort, where the artists plays up all their strengths, and creates a coherent embodiment of their music.
Ian Barnes
You got me there, because visions of Johanna is my favorite Dylan song
Jaxson Turner
Sgt Pepper only has a few great tracks compared to Revolver.
>inb4 called contrarian
It's a fairly common opinion among people of our generation.
Jackson Moore
Yes it's the greatest song of all time. Easily. Just because it's not your favorite Dylan song, or even best that he wrote. My favorite songs of all time imo are diff than my opinion of the best songs of all time. It's the best of all time because of the influence it had on popular culture, not to mention fucking politics, and protest and all this other shit. A song could be really shitty (this one isn't tho) and be perceived well and due to its influence and popular opinion it becomes a great song. Not by melodic content, or nessesarily lyrical content, but by influence.
Adrian Anderson
yea
Alexander Baker
Ever since the 90s the opinion has been Revolver > Pepper and Exile on Main St. > everything else
Evan Russell
>Rolling Stone's #1 song of all time
Well obviously, the magazine is named after the song.
Parker Watson
is it really?
Owen Foster
Holy fuck you are dumb as shit.
Oliver Cruz
>rolling stone founded in 1967
>like a rolling stone recorded in 1965
>hugely popular and influential song
welp cant see any way it could be correlated!!
Evan Thompson
take a guess you idiot

Oliver Myers
Seems like it's named off both Muddy Waters and Dylan.
I highly doubt they would name themselves that if Dylan's song never existed.
Jace Nguyen
Nothing beats the abstract vignettes of Blonde on Blonde and you know it.
Henry Nelson
Why was Dylan such an asshole in interviews? He never gave a straight answer to any questions, instead just gave some sarcastic reply insulting the interviewer. Pretty badass desu but i'd hate to be the one interviewing him.
