#280: Rethinking Greatness
I just read through the "100 greatest" Bob Dylan songs, beginning with #100 and counting down. When I reached #52, "Tears of Rage", with its perfect line about parents writing a girl's name in sand, and she thinking it a place to stand, I couldn't imagine how another 51 songs would be better.
And yet they almost all brought forth an 'oh yeah'.
Here's the list, from Rolling Stone. Some songs have a few paragraphs written by staff, others are commented on by Dylan's contemporaries and subsequent artists.
