Blood On The Tracks, Blonde On Blonde creep into top 100 albums
“Nobody ever got rich by overestimating the taste of the general public…” is a dictum that usually explains the results of polls of popular albums… films… books… . The great are inevitably crowded out by the, er, not so good.
The simple truth is that Joe and Josephine Public have crap taste. The latest demonstration of this is a new survey of “The Greatest Albums Of All Time” run by weekly poprock paper NME and The Guinness Book Of British Hit Singles And Albums.
Forty thousand experts collectively decided that Dylan’s two most popular albums, Blood On The Tracks (at number 47) and Blonde On Blonde (71), are not as “great” as the Libertines’ two masterpieces, Up The Bracket (15) and The Libertines (30).
And the magnum opus keeping Dylan off the number 1 slot? Oasis’s Definitely Maybe! Oh Lord, give me strength… .
