Patriot Paradox
I guess their pro-Kerry stance must have affected their ability to think properly.
Stardust is considered by many to be the best song of all time.
Feh. Two words: Free Bird.

And if they investigate further they will find that if you play it backwards it tells of the story of Little Red Riding Hood. ;)
At least Dylan has never publicly bashed Bush.
Actually, com to think of it....that's probably why.
(1) It's by Bob Dylan whose instrumental style is a mix of all that truly great in American music - blues, rock, jazzlike improvisation.
(2) The lyrics are interesting and involved.
(3) The narrative of the song is excellent: it's about a limousine liberal who gets involved in "the scene" to be cool and hip and winds up having reality bite her on the ass.
(4) The viewpoint of the song is also interesting: a bemused and wiser person who observes the protagonist's fall from grace and criticizes her naivete and her arrogance.
(5) It comes from Dylan's post-Fairport phase when he dumped Baez, renounced leftist politics and enraged all the folkie communists by using electric guitar.
(6) It's not about (a) wanting to sleep with someone, (b) sleeping with someone or (c) moaning over someone you used to sleep with. Nor is it about (a) how hard the artist is, (b) how he can or has killed people who have crossed him and (c) how his musical abilities far surpass all his contemporaries. Almost every useless song on today's charts is "written" around the above themes.
(7) It rocks.
No way. "Precious and Few" has got to be the one.
This isn't even up for debate! Everybody knows that the pinical of rock music was achieved in 1980 by Frank Smith with Double Dutch Bus.
Give me a HO if you've got your funky bus fare... HO
There's a double dutch bus comin' down the street
Movin pretty fast
So kinda shuffle your feet
Get on the bus and pay your fare
And tell the driver that you're
Goin' to a Double Dutch Affair
Fe Fi Fo Fum
Well I'll be darn here it comes
The Double Dutch Bus is on the street
You'd better get off the curb
Move your feet
Bus fare trans-pass
That's the way my money lasts
Ain't got no car to get around
When I go to work I've gotta go downtown
Now I've missed my train
That's a darn shame
When I'm running late no sleep's to blame
If you've gotta wife you know I'm right
Gotta special man well I can understand
Uptown, downtown everybody's getting down
Say uptown say downtown
Well I've missed my bus I know I'm late
I've gotta do something I knio0w I hate
I'm gonna walk to work fifteen blocks
I already got a hole in my socks
Go ahead and laugh that's okay
Cause what I really wanna say
I got bad feet my corns hurt
To top it off I'm late for work
Let me tell you what I say
When I'm dealing with the funky sidewalk
Let me show you how to walk
When I gotta do my funky walk
Let me tell you what I say
When I'm dealing with the funky sidewalk
I say sssssssss-sugar
(Rap with children)
Bip, bomp, bam alakazam
But only when you're grooving
With the Double Dutch Man
Put on your skates don't forget your rope
Cause I know I'm gonna see you
At my Double Dutch Show
Rebecca, Lolita, Veshawn and Dawn
Everytime you do the Double Dutch you really turn it on '
Bilzarbra, Mitzery, Milzetty, Kilsan
Titzommy, Kitzerrance, Kilzommy that's my man
Come on get on my Double Dutch Bus
(The Double Dutch Bus)
Let me hear you say do that
(Do that)
Let me hear you say Do that again
(Do that again)
Let me hear you say do the do
Let me hear you say do the do the do
Do the do, do do do do do

Actually, their inability to think properly was illustrated by their pro-Kerry stance.

Stairway is # 31 and Paradise by the dashboard light(meatloaf) is not on the list?
It is a bogus list just like Kerry is a bogus man
Bob Dylan is about as musical as a train wreck and this song in particular gives me an earache. "Stardust" indeed.
Dylan's nasal twanging and meandering focus are really more stream-of-consciousness ramblings than music. Yeah, he's an unusual guy but hardly worthy of greatness.
Awesome, dude! Great! I love you, man!
Jeez Lou-EEZ.
Think I'll stick with jazz
Poor Springsteen, he can't seem to win anything. "No Surrender" there, Boss!
I'd opt for "The Anaheim, Azusa, and Cucamonga Sewing Circle, Book Review and Timing Association."
