Music magazine Blender has named folk-rock icon Bob Dylan (right) as the greatest rock genius of all time.

“He’s the civil rights anthem writer who abandoned the cause, the electric poet turned born-again traditionalist,” Blender’s editors said in the magazine’s January-February issue, which hits newsstands Tuesday.

Former Beatle John Lennon was No. 2 on the top 50 list, followed by rock ‘n’ roll pioneer Chuck Berry, rapper Eminem and reggae icon Bob Marley.
