Greatest song ever written. Period.

My Opinion

Nope. Hotel California; Dust In The Wind; and Stairway To Heaven got it beat:) Besides, if Bob Dylan's singin' it the sound's gotta suck (although not the songwriting!)

Dude, please. Dust in the wind? Should we add (Don't fear) the Reaper? (More Cowbell) Hotel California? Why not Life in the Fast Lane, Don Johnson? Stairway to Heaven?? Whole lotta love for you, Bro.

A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall is not just a hollow collection of cliches' thrown together to sell albums, Dylan is a poet making a profound commentary on life.

Greatest song ever, though? Musically no way, Dylan himself preferred Cohen's Hallelujah, and we have centuries of classical that blows it away. Lyrically it could be in the running, what song has more powerful and beautiful lyrics?...

@HyperBully Certainly one of the best, but I consider It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) to be the apex of songwriting.
