You had to know that one of "his" was coming soon, and the time has come for Bob Dylan - Bringing it All Back Home (1965)

The first folk-rock album? Maybe. Certainly the first augury of what was to come with the momentous "Like a Rolling Stone". Released in one of pop's pivotal years, Bringing it All Back Home fused hallucinatory lyricism and, on half of the tracks, a raw, ragged rock 'n 'roll thrust. On the opening song, "Subterranean Homesick Blues", Dylan manages to pay homage to the Beats and Chuck Berry, while anticipating the surreal wordplay of rap. Without this...put simply, on this album and the follow-up, Highway 61 Revisited, Dylan invented modern rock music.

That's a very strong ending statement, don't you think?
