Like a Rolling Stone

"Like a Rolling Stone" is literally a song that needs no introduction, but here is a short one nonetheless. It is beyond question one of the greatest rock songs ever recorded. Rolling Stone (the magazine) ranked it number one in both 2004 and 2010, although it fell to number four in 2021. Other rankings -- by the Guardian, Pitchfork, Uncut, and others -- have had it between first and fourth. I doubt that any serious Rock music critic would list it out of the top five of all time. Of course, these rankings are all kind of silly, given the breadth of the music and varying tastes, so please just enjoy the music.

RockWiz is the name of an Australian television show, not these particular performers (about whom I know nothing beyond their Antipodean origins):
