That'd be the one. I'd argue to say it launched Dylan's career, expanding out of the folks scene.
Noteworthy: There are now all sorts of electrical instruments at the folk fest. I've been at least a half dozen times, though I've never performed there.
It was also notable that he had a backing band. At the time, that wasn't really done. If you had a band, they weren't backing you - but were also musicians. Picture Peter Paul and Mary - they were all musicians, nobody in the back providing other music (more often than not). They too would change with the times, but at the time it was what was just done.
So, folk music changed a great deal. It really was a monumental moment in music history.
I don't really know if it was that monumental. I think that most people are mental and dont realize that and electric guitar and an acoustic guitars are really both guitars
It changed folk forever - and influenced rock by moving (some) folk into the rock genre. I'd say that's monumental.
I haven't done anything that has changed music that much. Not even close.
Folk music is still folk music though. They play the same songs
