Like a Rolling Stone is considered one of the most influential songs of the rock era, topping Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2010, and inspiring scores of musicians, including Bruce Springsteen. "The first time I heard Bob Dylan, I was in the car with my mother listening to WMCA, and on came that snare shot that sounded like somebody'd kicked open the door to your mind," Springsteen said of first hearing the song, when he inducted Dylan into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. It's even inspired whole books, such as Greil Marcus's Like a Rolling Stone: Bob Dylan at the Crossroads, published in 2005.
