Let's return to the early 60's, shall we? →[More:] I give you four songs. The first is possibly the most important song in rock history (and also one of the most misunderstood). The second is much more obscure, but a major portent of things to come. The third is a gem from the rock era that was beginning to fade, although it presages Dylan in that it's one of the few songs where the protagonist is begging the girl to leave him. Last, but not least is one of the greatest pieces of soul poetry ever. Bob Dylan once called Smokey Robinson 'America's Greatest Poet.' He wasn't kidding.

Bob Dylan - Like A Rolling Stone
The Fugs - I Couldn't Get High
The Four Seasons - Dawn
The Miracles - Tracks Of My Tears
