The Byrds, Mr. Tambourine Man (side A)

The classic albums are always the hardest to write about. 1965's Mr. Tambourine Man is full of memorable hits, including Dylan covers, Gene Clark's unforgettable "I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better", and their beautiful version of Pete Seeger's "Bells of Rhymney". The front cover fish-eye photo is striking and memorable, even if the back cover text is dated. Michael Clark was a great drummer, but was mixed too quietly by even the most modest of contemporary standards.
