DMV permissions in 2005/08

Hi

Hopefully this is a very simple question . 

If I need to select from a specific DMV , will it work if I am granted specific Select permission on the DMV without having view Server State permission.

EG:

Select top 10 * From sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats

This is returning The user does not have permission to perform this action.

I do not wish to spend a lot of time listing the DMV's I need select on if this is not going to work however DBA's are a bit resistant to granting View Server State. 

Thanks for looking.
