Unfortunately my memory is such that I retain about 1/1000th of what I read, see or hear :) on a good day.

Well, you're doing better than I am. Though if "Highway 61" was cited as a groundbreaking album, and "Beggar's Banquet" got top billing over "Exile on Main Street", it might be worth my figuring out how to pay for access to an archived article. By any chance, was there any mention of "Astral Weeks"? Or, for that matter, a truly revolutionary album -"Only the Lonely"?

BOB DYLAN: ''Highway 61 Revisited'' (Columbia, 1965). Bob Dylan wanted to say
everything at once: generational challenges, Bible stories, cynicism, affection,
death-defying humor, desolation. On this album a flood of words mingled high-flown
allusions with slapstick tall tales as his tunes set folky melodies on a collision course with electric blues. The molten, unsettled music realized every ambition of a cocky, inspired songwriter who irrevocably raised the stakes for what a rock song could do.
