Hits List: Bob Dylan

He sprang up from the 60's, a one-of-a kind poet.  Since then, he's put out some of the best lyrics the world has ever seen.  Even more, he was in many ways the voice for a generation, advancing the causes that they believed in.  Dylan of course has many other great songs that weren't released on singles.  Here is the complete Hits List from Bob Dylan:
