Gone Acoustic...or Electric?!

The shock waves came from a guitar amplifier on this day in 1965, when Bob Dylan famously plugged in at the hootenany-centric Newport Folk Festival. Roundly booed, Bob caught shade from the proto-granola crowd that was just not Rickenbacker-ready.

Some songs improve as they are dressed down; others get a lift from a little electrification. Please name some of your favorites!
