Dylan’s Row in The Times’ List Sparks Debate
A Media Nation post critiques The Times’ ‘30 Greatest Living American Songwriters’ list for Dylan, arguing that while he belongs, the selections misrepresent his catalog by including a co-written track (Isis with Jacques Levy) and omitting era-defining songs (e.g., from Blonde on Blonde) while praising later work; Patti Smith’s reflections are included, and the piece suggests Not Dark Yet as a stronger late‑career pick, noting no list will ever please all fans.
