Mr. Tambourine Man
The Byrds

An album full of folk song covers (mainly by Bob Dylan) played and recorded in an early The Beatles style by American The Byrds. Pop/rock with some folk influences, making it sound like a aforementioned Beatles, but with late Lennon's lyrics. The question that this record being on the list brings - is it good enough, or innovative enough to be here? The music sounds very outdated right now, and to make it worse, it wasn't original at the time as well. It's just the americanised version of british folk pop/rock bands. And the slightly unusual part of the album is that the lyrics are taken from Dylan's discography, which makes for a unique combination. But by saying that, it's not enough to make it special or good. It shouldn't be on the list at all, in my opinion of course.
