‘Like A Rolling Stone’ — Bob Dylan
According to Rolling Stone, Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone” was the best song. “For all eternity, no other pop song has questioned and revolutionized the commercial laws and creative conventions of its era,” it stated. The song lasted six minutes and thirteen seconds, which was a little longer than normal. This is one of the reasons why radio stations were first hesitant to play the song. Despite this, the song became a global hit, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song has been covered by both Green Day and the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Based on statistics, it is the most acclaimed song in history, according to Acclaimed Music. In 2014, Dylan’s handwritten lyrics were auctioned off for $2 million.
