At the end of his new song, "Murder Most Foul," Bob Dylan essentially curates a playlist for a dying America, asking some abstract listener to "play" countless songs as violins wail in the background.
His music recommendations are often esoteric, and their exact meanings will certainly spark message-board debates for many years in the future. But in an effort to follow Dylan's command, we've compiled a playlist of all of the songs that (we think) he recommended in "Murder Most Foul." Now you, too, can listen to Bob Dylan's playlist for the end times.
