Well, if it wasn't, it should have been. For those too young to remember: http://www.bobdylan.com/songs/blowin.html Aug 19 05, 9:00 PM

I'm still finding that Like a Rolling Stone was still his biggest commercial hit. http://www.borkowski.co.uk/archives/celebrity/003047.html My personal fav was Rainy Day Women #12 & 35. Aug 20 05, 8:46 AM

That site is a poll of artists rather than a sign of commercial success. It turns out "Blowin' in the Wind" was put on "Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" without being released as a single. As no Dylan song reached #1 in the UK or US, his biggest commercial hits were probably as a songwriter. Surely the top candidates are: "Knocking On Heaven's Door" - A minor hit for Eric Clapton, a bigger hit for Guns N' Roses (#2 in the UK) and a big UK hit for Dunblane (a charity version which reached #1) "Mr Tambourine Man" - A big #1 hit for The Byrds in the UK and the US.
