10 Most Underrated Bob Dylan Songs

10. Bob Dylan's 115th Dream

Bringing It All Back Home is a landmark album for Dylan as he makes his controversial jump from electric to acoustic. The first half of the record contains some of his most famous early rockers, the second half some devastating classic folk.

He actually illustrates the jump at the midpoint on the comical but delightful “Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream”, a wild retelling of the “discovery” of America, with allusions to The Beatles, Moby-Dick, and the singer’s pancake preference.

For most artists, trying to be funny is a big mistake, but Dylan’s lightness of touch, freewheeling lyrics, and joie de vivre makes “115th Dream” the perfect palette cleanser for an album that deals mostly in anger and formal daring.

It also features one of the most charming moments in the singer’s career. Dylan starts off the track as normal, just him and his guitar, before something tickles producer Tom Wilson, who bursts into laughter, stopping the take. Dylan calls an audible, and they restart, this time with a full band backing him up.

It’s a changing of the guard in the most incongruous of fashions.
