I'm afraid this is a bit more complicated: you can use a language with
dialects without specifying one only if there is a default dialect for this
language (see table 1, p 12 of the doc). For example, there is a default
dialect for TeX, namely plain, so you can say :
\begin{lstlistings}[language=TeX]
But, somehow surprisingly, there is no predefined default dialect for Basic,
though there is only one dialect. Anyway, you can define a default dialect for
this language with
\lstset{defaultdialect=[Visual]Basic}
in your preamble for example.

Hum, in LaTeX, each package has a separate documentation. For listings, the
documentation is in
/usr/share/doc/texlive-latex-recommended-doc/latex/listings/listings.pdf
and can easily be found by typing 'texdoc listings' in a terminal.
By the way, I would expect section 2.4 of the documentation to mention the
fact that the "optional" argument for the dialect is actually mandatory for
languages without predefined default dialect...
Best,
