This song was rated by Rolling Stone magazine, in December 2004, as the greatest song of all time. What do you think?
see https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/500-greatest-songs-of-all-time-151127/ or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_Stone%27s_500_Greatest_Songs_of_All_Time
for Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC), epic.
I like the song and it fits ‘Rolling Stone’ like a glove. I’m no musician so I can’t hear/see the technical side of a song.
The greatest song of all time, that are a lot of songs to chose from. Or is it only rock that was selected?
If classical music is also a ‘song’ I would opt for Beethoven.
Is there a top 10 from Rolling Stone?

Far as I am concerned, I like this but it is not one of my favourites. It is a good song, but there are many better singers than Dylan. I don’t think it is just rock, Imagine was #3 and Marvin Gaye #4.

A lot of comments don’t agree with the list! It’s impossible to scroll through it. Thanks for telling me number 3 and 4 🙂

I like it, but epic?

I agree with you. If I were pushed, I couldn’t pick a favoutrite, but it certainly wouldn’t be this one.

I’ve heard Bohemian Rhapsody is epic, and I think it’s close, but that is probably because I’ve seen it played out in real life.

I think it is a classic song, but not necessarily the greatest song of all time.

No, same here. I always thought there were many better singers than Dylan. It’s a decent song, though.

He is not a great singer, but he is a great songwriter

I guess that makes it epic.

I was just discussing with some others, how RS came up with their list. Our gut feel, none of us would have put it at the top of the tree.
