1 1 Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone
Anything but this.

lol
i would think "Satisfaction" would be the overall number one song of all time.

and by that i mean the Devo cover.
j/k
even though it is also great.

for me it's between "california dreamin'" and "these boots are made for walkin'"

Otis
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 18 December 2014 08:03 (nine years ago) link
I think 1965 is my least favourite Beatles year.
― nate woolls, Thursday, 18 December 2014 08:09 (nine years ago) link
I think it has to be Otis. So many better songs from the albums these songs came from.
― Simply The Bessed! (Old Lunch), Thursday, 18 December 2014 12:43 (nine years ago) link
What I meant was that the songs in this list are, by and large, not necessarily the most exemplary songs on their respective albums. No slight on the Otis song, as it's sublime.
― Simply The Bessed! (Old Lunch), Thursday, 18 December 2014 14:12 (nine years ago) link
This would be completely impossible if "My Generation" wasn't on the list. But "My Generation" is my all-time favorite piece of recorded sound.

― Οὖτις, Thursday, 18 December 2014 18:08 (nine years ago) link
fave 1965 hits:
Fontella Bass "Rescue Me" Marvin Gaye "Ain't That Peculiar"Beach Boys "Help Me Rhonda" We Five "You Were On My Mind"Kinks "Tired of Waiting For You"
on this list, never ever tired of "I Can't Explain"
― Vic Perry, Thursday, 18 December 2014 18:25 (nine years ago) link
Like A Rolling Stone. It goes without saying that this was a doozy of a year.
― kornrulez6969, Thursday, 18 December 2014 18:26 (nine years ago) link
I thought for the longest time that Fontella Bass was the name of a band (I believe I was conflating her name with Tijuana Brass).
― Simply The Bessed! (Old Lunch), Thursday, 18 December 2014 18:29 (nine years ago) link
to be honest i'd vote for anything on the vince guaraldi CBC soundtrack over any of these.

Me too! Reading her obit was sad because it led with "'Rescue Me' has been called the best record Aretha Franklin never made." Which is just wrong on multiple levels, most of all that it preceded the first Aretha hit by two years!
― Vic Perry, Thursday, 18 December 2014 18:36 (nine years ago) link
xpost....although yeah the vince guaraldi, great
― Vic Perry, Thursday, 18 December 2014 18:37 (nine years ago) link
OTM on Guaraldi. If I really paid attention to what isn't represented in these lists, I could all-too-easily lapse into "Sgt. Pepper isn't even one of the twenty best albums of '67 let alone the best album of all time" invective over the options.
― Simply The Bessed! (Old Lunch), Thursday, 18 December 2014 18:41 (nine years ago) link
i guess if i had to pick one from the list i'd go with "these boots," since i somehow managed to never listen to it properly till a few years ago, and it hasn't worn out its welcome the way a lot of these have. i love the stones but hearing "satisfaction" now is a little like hearing the opening notes of beethoven's fifth.
― (The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Thursday, 18 December 2014 18:47 (nine years ago) link
My wife and I were just enjoying the 'boots' video the other day. And with 'Satisfaction' I remember when it seemed so primal. Was that kinda not so great acoustic guitar in the back always that high in the mix, or was that an unfortunate digital remix outcome?
I figure it's fair game for me to mention legit hit singles. I too would draw the line at album tracks, not that these lists with their Dylan & Beatles album tracks do.
― Vic Perry, Thursday, 18 December 2014 19:14 (nine years ago) link
Bob Dylan and The Beatles made 35% of the most acclaimed music of 1965. No.
― Vic Perry, Thursday, 18 December 2014 19:20 (nine years ago) link
I would imagine that the Beatles also maintained their percentage of Acclaimed Music for a handful of years thereafter.
― Simply The Bessed! (Old Lunch), Thursday, 18 December 2014 19:23 (nine years ago) link
And "Yesterday" is the top one of all?
― Vic Perry, Thursday, 18 December 2014 19:27 (nine years ago) link
Sorry for being complain-y though - these lists do give us something quantifiable to rate - and maybe 35% is not too high but too low for Dylan-Beatles that year in terms of long term acclaim.
Except, wow. Mathematically it means that all-the-rest-of-pop-music-put-together adds up to less than one of these two acts in 1965.
― Vic Perry, Thursday, 18 December 2014 19:43 (nine years ago) link
Wait, scratch that last idiot statement.
― Vic Perry, Thursday, 18 December 2014 19:45 (nine years ago) link
voting Satisfaction, still sounds fresh 2 me

I think this is the stereo mix, which is not the version anybody should be listening to

Thanks --- definitely not hearing this by choice. Usually in a supermarket.

"Tracks of My Tears" over "Help" and "Do You Believe in Magic."
― timellison, Thursday, 18 December 2014 21:56 (nine years ago) link
Change that! "Do You Believe in Magic" over "Help" and "Tracks of My Tears." "I Second That Emotion" is my favorite Miracles hit.

This looked very hard until I got to the end and realized it can be very easily done.

the fact that all of these dylan songs came out this year is insane. years must have been longer back then.
