Mojo versus Normblog polling: the Norm positions are in parenthesis
01 (01) - Like A Rolling Stone
02 (09) - Desolation Row
03 (03) - Visions Of Johanna
04 (08) - Mr Tambourine Man
05 (02) - Tangled Up In Blue
06 (22) - Positively 4th Street
07 (07) - Idiot Wind
08 (17) - Blind Willie McTell
09 (04) - Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
10 (12) - It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
11 (05) - Subterranean Homesick Blues
12 (28) - Shelter From The Storm
13 (22) - Just Like Tom Thumb Blues
14 (41) - Forever Young
15 (13) - Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands

20 (17) - Love Minus Zero/No Limit

Same number 1, same number 3, same number 7. An overlap of 7 in the top 10, and of 14 in the top 20.
Looks like there is at least some consensus on Bobby Z.

NOTE: yes, I know, it took me till Mon 28 Nov to spot the typo. I suck.

  1. I reckon my top ten would be:

    Like A Rolling Stone
    Desolation Row
    Visions of Johanna
    Not Dark Yet
    Blowing In The Wind
    When The Ship Comes In
    It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
    I Don't Believe You
    To Ramona
    Farewell Angelina

    ..of which 4 are in Mojo's top ten. Interestingly, I don't have any from Mojo's numbers 11-20.

    Hell, even the guy's duds bear comparison with some people's best work.
