Yeah I saw that post but wasn't sure if that meant the UK was entirely free of this concept.

It was for most of the history of popular music radio in the UK.

I voted for "Like A Rolling Stone", which I think says more about my current disdain for classic rock than any particular love for Dylan.

My gran also listened to it.

I love these sorts of comps which start thematically on brand and slowly but surely abandon the plot about two-thirds through

For all his other talents, I don’t buy Dylan as a rock guy
I'm almost the opposite: I generally find him uninteresting on acoustic guitar and harmonica but the band on "Like a Rolling Stone" sounds so good and grooves so well and Dylan's rhymes and flow dazzle when they support and propel him.

Jesus, has 'Rock Star' seriously worked its way into the classic rock canon? That shit's bad even for Nickelback. Which is to say: really really fucken bad.

a little surprised that a truly boring song by the Stone Roses beat out some actual good songs, but oh well.
