This always, always happens. I read a list, thinking its good, and I always disagree with the last one. A weird coincidence that happens when people make lists where I like many of the entries.
Not that I dislike Neil Young, but I just wouldn't have suggested him.

Yeah, kinda disappointed with myself aswell. I was stuck at number 5, so I just added Neil Young because I own alot of his work. I wanted to edit him away for Maynard James Keenan but I thought of it after the 15 minutes.
Yeah. I wasn't so much criticising the choice as thinking it was odd that I always agree with some lists up until the very final entry, when you could have put Neil Young at any place on the list.
That happens a lot, when I read lists- it was just a random point.
Maynard isn't really a songwriter, in the scheme of things.

neil young never gets due credit. he deserves to be on any list also including bob dylan, brian wilson, tom waits etc. just because he's been a tool for twenty-odd years doesn't mean is earlier work is anything but genius.
Some would argue that.
Bob Dylan is on too many lists in my opinion.

I really, really liked Mirror Ball, on the first few listens Living With War wasn't bad, but the amazingly obvious propaganda in it pisses me off now.

I think he's on too few. His impact on music is indescribable. But as always with music it's a matter of taste if you like it or not.
I wasn't putting some kind of value on the number of lists a person is on. I was making the point that if you go by such lists, Dylan is- with The Beatles- more or less the biggest artist ever. He's not though, which leads to the conclusion of people being sheep.

He is the best.
i've never crossed paths with you before von doom, but saying bob dylan is immensely overrated just reveals a kind of ignorance. he's a bit overrated, hard not to be when you're a legend, but the number of brilliant albums he's done is mind boggling.
bringing it all back home, highway 61, blonde on blonde, blood on the tracks, john wesley harding, nashville skyline, desire...the list goes on'n'on'n'on.
the number of cultural, social, and political references in "subterranean homesick blues" alone makes him more thoughtful than the vast majority of musical artists.
