Not so much.

In an effort to generate flagging magazine sales and desperately seeking pop culture relevance, Rolling Stone has come out with a "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" and put Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" at #1.

(I have yet to recover from Dylan's Dirty Ole Man of Victoria's Secrets fame phase, but that isn't why I went "waaahhhht the fuck??? to that song).

"Like a Rolling Stone"? #1 best song of all time? I can understand the profound desire to do the easy and sleazy by putting a Dylan song at #1. Rolling Stone is the propaganda wing of The Bob's PR and hype machine, and Jann Wenner probably deserves a lifetime achievement award for hyping Dylan more than any other 60s nostalgia addicted over the hill rock groupie.

After all, the list appears to be made up of Jann Wenner's people: Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Bob Dylan, John Kerry...

Here is a blurb from the New York Daily News' comments about the issue:

"Bob Dylan over John Lennon? The Stones over the Beatles? And Abba over, well, anybody?

Sure to spark heated debates around the jukebox - or maybe the iPod - Rolling Stone magazine has just published a collection of what its panel of experts deem the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

But younger folks may be left wondering whether these critics turned off their radios for good when disco hit. And older folks might wonder why there's very little before Elvis started wiggling his hips.

Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" sits atop the chart - (hmm, why do they like that one so much?) - followed by the Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and Lennon's "Imagine."

Considering this magazine is now several decades beyone it's relevance sell-by date, I don't even understand how this magazine stays in business.

But I am not the least bit surprised to see the "magazine of the 60s generation" once again hyping it's own hype of Dylan being the "voice of the 60s generation" by playing this silly game of generating a buzz and hype list of "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" to go with it's other idiotic "greatest list" issues.

Perhaps a darkly ironic anti-list is in order...
