David Walton/Wakefield Bought it when first released in '65. I have never got tired of listening to it. The organ bits are great.
frans ghent when you put highway 61 in your player, the first thing you hear is that brilliant snare drum en then that C chord, suspended on the third and fourth beat. that great organ sound, the biting lyrics, dylan's "vocal backbeat" ...time...fine... dime...prime... make you wish the sound never comes to an end. after hearing "rolling stone" for the first time, my life was never the same again.
Pete Fenelon, York A grown-up singer singing a grown-up song; suddenly rock could be "about" something more than teenage lust; it could move the head not the heart.
musiclover, london historically there is no real argument - this is the most important song of the last fifty years. this song more or less started 'popular culture'. it also happens to be hair-raisingly good.
Jonathan Carter, Swindon I'm only 13 and this is one of (if not THE) greatest song I have ever heard!
Colin Millard/Notts This song changed popular music forever.
Janet , Manchester A total gem! Dylan is a linguistic gymnast who never fails to capture the imagination!
Patrick- London Powerful message within this song, one you must work out for yourself. Use your imagination let it run off in many tangents for only then can you reach a conclusion. How can you acheive the heights of joy if you have never experienced the depths of despair. "How does it feel"
chris brighton there is brilliant, absolutely brilliant, stupendously brilliant and then there is Like a rolling stone.
lee c leicestershire The greatest 'song' accessible by the masses. Look at it from whatever angle...you'll find something.
george wellington If the society lady in "Like a rolling stone" was Jackie Kennedy and Napolean in rags was LBJ who was the siamese cat ???
Sam, York This is the greatest single song ever. it not only is great musically with a fantastic with a fantastic organ part but it also has some of the best lyrics ever which remain potent today.
Sean Stennett Liverpool Such a uplifting, real song from his royal bobness
les newman a pulsating tune put to aggressive lyrics makes a potent cocktail
David Irwin, Kelvedon From the greatest lyricist of all, Dylan used words in a way the Beatles (whom I admire) never did. Consider his lyrics in Mr Tamborine Man and in Like a Rolling Stone both 1965. This is my favourite song of all. It's a six minute song that passes in no time. I've always felt each verse covers some part of Jackie Kennedy Onasis' life, with that stinging question at the end of each part. "How does it feel!" But I'd love to know what the man himself has to say.
