Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Records of All Time, ranked 149/500 in 2022

The country singer/songwriter legend's debut Atlantic Album, which was included in Rolling Stone's list of 500 greatest records of all time. In 2009, Bob Dylan told the Huffington Post that Prine was one of his favorite songwriters of all time, and critics generally agree that his simple song structures support both sarcasm and wry observation and commentary on life that is generally unparalleled.

"John Prine became a revered folk-country-rock songwriter, starting with this first album, which is loaded with enduring gems, including 'Angel From Montgomery,' 'Hello in There,' and a song that regularly returns to relevance, 'Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore.' Prine seemed like a Zen sage. He filled his songs with an uncynical live-and-let-live morality, and wrote in a colloquial voice that showed a love of the way Americans speak. His closest parallel isn't another songwriter, it's Mark Twain." — Rolling Stone
