- Bob Dylan, ‘Pledging My Time’ (1966) It takes a lot to outshine Bob Dylan, but Robertson managed to do it for four whole minutes on Blonde on Blonde‘s track two, making his own mark on one of the greatest albums of all time.
- Bob Dylan, ‘Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat’ (1966) Dylan flirts and leers through the funniest track on Blonde on Blonde, tossing out a string of double entendres about hats (“Honey, can I jump on it sometime?/
