A year in which soft pop dominated the top 40 and some of the legendary bands of rock seem to lose their way. It was a year in which a grungy New York club became the site of a musical revolt called punk. But most importantly, it was a year in which Bob Dylan put out some of the best work of his career. 1975 was a pivotal year in Rock 'n' Roll. But from that sense of exhaustion arose remarkable music that would remind people of the greatness of its past and lay the groundwork for the next quarter century.
