Rubber Soul could be my favorite Beatles album.  However, the only
really Dylanesque song in it is "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away,"
which Lennon later admitted he did to prove that he could write in
Dylan's style better than Dylan did.  Lennon still had his competitive
edge on Rubber Soul.

Again, I don't hear Dylan in the other songs and I think McCartney
undersold the Beatles in attributing the album to Dylan's influence.
