Thread: Like A Rolling Stone

  1. #1

    Default Like A Rolling Stone

    Who enjoys this song? This gets me in the best mood a song can take me. The lyrics are so awesome. Who'd think a song back in the 60's would sound like a rap song of so much of the rhyming. This is truly a great song. Probably one of my favorites. So much of the slang that you hear now from gangsters and ghetto girls with attitude actually come from back then. Like when he says "Thinking that they got it made". And one of the best lines I have ever heard in this pleasure we call music came from this song. It's when Dylan says "When you have nothing, you have nothing to lose". Who says that!? Seriously a true rock n' roll song. Who else finds this song incredible?

    It's a good song. Like virtually every Dylan song, superbly written. I just wish it was originally performed by someone who could sing.

    I've heard it so many times now that I can't really appreciate it anymore. I'd rather go for his more obscure stuff.

    A great song indeed. A relatively poor singer indeed.

    I don't find his singing poor. Maybe a little off but not poor.

    It was covered by the Stones themselves, but this is one of the few Bob Dylan songs that I reckon Bob did better himself.

    Anyway, great song. Comfortably in my top ten of all time.

    Yeah, it's a good song. I wouldn't say it's Dylan's best, though.
    "The most important and recognize player in the history of the country."

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

    It's Bob Dylan, and it's one of his best songs - of course it's fantastic, and he has/had one the best voices in music. I think I like Tangled Up in Blue best of his songs on a random note.

    Actually it's the only Dylan song I know but when I said favorites I meant of all time.

    i originally named my fantasy football team that but i decided it was too obscure and didn't really sound like a team name. great song, though.

    Dylan has a great voice, it just isn't traditionally beautiful.

    very distinctive, which, while not aesthetically pleasing to everyone, still means it has an intrinsic beauty due to its uniqueness

    well, it's possible to have a unique voice that is not very beautiful, like joanna newsom.
