"Like a Rolling Stone" is the #1 song in Rolling Stone Magazine’s “500 Greatest Songs of All Time”. If you read the article here, you’ll learn (among other things) how the song links with Hank Williams’ “Lost Highway”, which I posted here yesterday.

This is definitely one of the biggest classics of the 60’s and there is an abundance of information available about it. Here’s the Wikipedia page. 

“Gates Of Eden” was recorded in one take, just before the first take of “Mr. Tambourine Man”
