BOB DYLAN nagrađen je Nobelovom nagradom za književnost za uvođenje novoga pjesničkoga izraza u američku književnost. Dylan više od pet desetljeća stvara stihove koji su ušli u antologiju, a iako se i kritičari i obožavatelji slažu da je nemoguće izdvojiti samo nekoliko najboljih pjesama iz njegovog opusa, glazbeni magazin NME usudio se to učiniti.

Iz svake pjesme izdvojili su najupečatljivije stihove, a kad ih pročitate, složit ćete se da je Dylan zaista zaslužio Nobelovu nagradu.

1. 'Positively 4th Street' – 1965

Yes, I wish that for just one time/You could stand inside my shoes/You'd know what a drag it is to see you.

2. 'Visions Of Johanna' – 1966

Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial/Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while/But Mona Lisa must've had the highway blues/You can tell by the way she smiles

3. 'Masters Of War' – 1963

You that build all the bombs/You that hide behind walls/You that hide behind desks/I just want you to know/I can see through your masks

4. 'Maggie's Farm' – 1965

I try my best/To be just like I am/But everybody wants you/To be just like them/They sing while you slave/And I just get bored

5. 'Idiot Wind' – 1975

Idiot wind blowing every time you move your teeth/You're an idiot, babe/It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe

6. 'You're A Big Girl Now' – 1975

I'm going out of my mind/With a pain that stops and starts/Like a corkscrew to my heart/Ever since we've been apart

7. 'It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)' – 1965

As human gods aim for their mark/Make everything from toy guns that spark/To flesh-coloured Christs that glow in the dark/Easy to see without looking too far/That not much is really sacred

8. 'The Ballad Of Frankie Lee And Judas Priest' – 1967

So when you see your neighbour carryin' somethin'/Help him with his load/And don't go mistaking Paradise/For that home across the road

9. 'The Man In The Long Black Coat' – 1989

Every man's conscience is vile and depraved/You cannot depend on it to be your guide when it's you who must keep it satisfied

10. 'Just Like A Woman' – 1966

And she aches just like a woman/But she breaks just like a little girl
