Answer (1 of 6): To perform a rough calculation, let's assume that you were born in 1980 and that the typical range between generations is 30 years (that's what I have found in my family back to the 1...

Product Description Amnesty International commemorates its 50th anniversary with the release of an album featuring the cream of the world’s music talent covering Bob Dylan songs, with contributions from a huge variety of artists including Adele, Patti Smith, Pete Townshend, Ke$ha, The Gaslight Anthem, Sting, Jackson Browne, Elvis Costello, Sinéad O’Connor, Kris Kristofferson, Bad Religion, Marianne Faithfull, My Chemical Romance, Bryan Ferry, Pete Seeger and many more. Entitled Chimes of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan the album features 73 tracks on four CDs. Review Yes, yes, all for a good cause and that, but only the most saintly apologist would deny that some heinous musical crimes have been committed in the name of charity over the years. And while this epic collection of Dylan covers isn't the worst offender, it's still a largely redundant – and frequently downright woeful – endeavour.Released to celebrate 50 years of Amnesty International, it ransacks the Dylan canon presumably in deference to his symbolic status as the finger-pointin' bard of the oppressed. Rather than, say, because of all those bile-dripping songs he wrote in the 60s while off his head on drugs. Or because he's an ornery contrarian who, if you put it to him, would probably deny that he'd ever written a protest song in his life.Either way, it's undeniable that the stirring title-track – Dylan's original recording of which closes this collection – with its odes to "each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail" is virtually the Amnesty manifesto in musical form. And if any songbook is rich and vast enough to withstand a whopping 72 covers over four CDs, it's Dylan's.But the sheer volume of material is its biggest problem. Simultaneously overwhelming and underwhelming, it buckles under the weight of its own significance, like a ghastly all-star charity concert which refuses to end.Although there are a few highlights – Bettye LaVette's soulful reading of Most of the Time, and Taj Mahal's Stax-blues rumble through Bob Dylan's 115th Dream – there is absolutely no excuse for the likes of Natasha Bedingfield turning Ring Them Bells into an MOR drive-time anthem, Sting busking Girl From the North Country in the manner of a deranged Sting impersonator, or Lenny Kravitz being let anywhere near Rainy Day Woman # 12 & 35. Still, Mick Hucknall's uncannily accurate Dylan take-off on One of Us Must Know suggests that, if nothing else, he's got it in the bag if they ever revive Celebrity Stars in Their Eyes.Ultimately, if this sprawling folly raises some money for Amnesty and introduces Miley Cyrus fans to Dylan's music, then no harm done. As for the man himself, he probably couldn't care less either way. So he's probably the real winner in all of this. --Paul Whitelaw Find more music at the BBC This link will take you off Amazon in a new window
