Sure, this works. But this only presents a different perspective from which subjective opinions are valued; it is the act of externalizing an opinion (from its subject) and canonizing it. Your own distaste for "Like a Rolling Stone" should be evidence enough that an objective "good" and "bad" simply doesn't exist.
But that, I feel, is one of the great appeals to music -- everyone has their own preferences, and nobody is any more "correct" in their convictions than anyone else.
