Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan was one of the most important acts of the folk scene of the sixties. As people sought out singer-songwriters during that time, he helped lead the way. Songs like The Times They Are A-Changin' and Like A Rolling Stone became his most well-remembered hits and helped push him to stardom. His influence was evidenced by his being covered by The Byrds and The Jimi Hendrix Experience among others. He was inducted his first year of eligibility, an obvious choice. Roots rock group The Band was originally his backing group.
