I really liked the albums from Bob Dylan. I was familiar with his work being the voice of the counterculture in the 1960s and his songs and lyrics lived up to that expectation. They are very poetic in their structure as well as being lyrical in tune. When listening to his music, even post counter culture era, I think you can tell he had some very profound, radical political, social context to his lyrics that I am sure we will dig deep into. I think today’s rock bands lack this kind of context, maybe Rage Against the Machine would be the only “political” band that would come to mind. They even did a track from Dylan – Maggie’s Farm. I think we will learn a lot about that time period and culture from his work.
