1. Like A Rolling Stone
Earlier this year, the handwritten lyrics to “Like a Rolling Stone” sold at an auction for $2 million, the highest price ever paid for a manuscript of popular music. This is not surprising at all, especially if you take into account the fact Bob Dylan’s rock anthem is at the top of our list. Bob Dylan’s entire songbook has been a great influence on musicians and civilians alike, but the 1965 record seems to be the best representation of his work as a whole.
