Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues, 1965
Dylan's first electric single, and possibly the most historically significant song in rock history. Subterranean Homesick Blues signaled the moment when rock started to become acceptable to hipsters, where previously it had been considered inconsequential music for teens. Subterranean Homesick Blues would be followed in the summer of 1965 by his first two electric albums, Bringing it all Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited. In the background, with the long beard, is beat poet Allen Ginsberg, author of "The Howl."
In October of 1965 the Beatles would respond with the release of the double A side single Day Tripper/We Can Work it Out, followed in December by the album Rubber Soul. While Dylan made rock acceptable to hipsters, the Beatles forced other rock acts to respond, making more sophisticated music aimed at the emerging collegiate audience. Bands able to successfully respond, transitioning from singles oriented, to album oriented, are generally better regarded (often unfairly) by modern fans than those who could not.
