I have problems with songs released before I was born :).

Then you're missing out on a lot of the best of it.

For our size, Canada is ummm STRONG. Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and there is no let up from the new(er)bies.

 

How about White Hot - Red Rider and Tom Cochrane

Anything early by the Tragically Hip

 

and keep an eye on Colin James, Chicks and Cars and a Third World War, Keep on Lovin me Baby etc. He's got it goin.

 

I do sincerely apologize for Ann Murray and Celine Dion but you owe us BIG time for John Denver, Wayne Newton and Honey, I Miss You by Bobby Goldsboro.

I don't know about greatest (certainly should be up there) but likely one of the most often played (for obvious reasons)

 

Stairway to heaven.

+1 for Stairway

 

The Hendrix cover of All Along the Watchtower is right up there, as is Aerosmith's Dream On. I'd put Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath on the short list, too.

 

 

Strongly disagree with Mike about Hurricane; I think it's Dylan's best. I'd probably like it even more if I thought Carter were innocent.

Best......hmmm you mean his best song ever....no not close....

 

 

Lets just start with Like a rolling stone...which many consider the greatest rock and roll song ever.

Go away from my window, leave at your own chosen speed

I'm not the one you wanted, I'm not the one you need

You say you wanted someone who was never weak but always strong

someone to defend you and protect you, whether you were right or wrong

someone to open each and every door

 

Well, it ain't me, babe

A no, no, no, it ain't me, babe

it ain't me your lookin' for, babe

IMO, Hurricane > Like a Rolling Stone, and it's not his only song that's better than Like a Rolling Stone, either. It's on his short list, though.

 

It's like "Hey Jude," but not nearly as bad - I've heard radio station countdowns where Hey Jude comes in at #1. For the love of God, it's not even in the top 10 BEATLES songs.

Another thread asks about feeling old. IN the early sixties, the University of Minnesota radio station was playing Dylan before anyone much had ever heard of him. I don't much claim to have good taste but maybe:

 

Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed.

 

Or

 

Sara Sara, whatever made you want to change your mind

Sara, Sara, so easy to look at so hard to define

 

 

I'm not really all that big on his social commentary except maybe Everybody must get stoned

No, I said Like a Rolling Stone isn't as bad as the Beatles/Hey Jude thing. I think it's a top-10 Dylan song, but I don't think it's a top-3.

A thread on a different forum got me thinking: if you were to go back in time, say, a couple hundred years, to what extent would you be able to dramatically change society by giving them new technologies, given how much you know about these technologies?

 

For example, I might be able to construct a crude electromagnet or something, but then I really wouldn't know what to do with it. I certainly couldn't give them radios or electricity or computers or anything we use on a daily basis. I'm not certain I could give them steam engines or anything related to medicine. I could give them Pasteurization, I suppose.

 

Is it common not to know very much at all about the things I use on a daily basis? What could you recreate for people of the past?

 

Would you affect their technology more by giving general descriptions of lots of things, much like a prophet, or would it require a very specific, expert understanding of one single thing, like how to build cars, to actually generate any change?
