Rolling Stone has listed the top 500 songs of all time. Except, of course, it's not - the 172 critics and musicians who came up with nominations for the list were told to focus on "the rock 'n' roll era," so the list is heavy with songs from the '50s, '60s, and '70s. Still, what the hey, here are the Top 10:
#10 - "What'd I Say" by Ray Charles
#9 - "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana
#8 - "Hey Jude" by the Beatles
#7 - "Johnny B. Goode" by Chuck Berry
#6 - "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys
#5 - "Respect" by Aretha Franklin
#4 - "What's Going On" by Marvin Gaye
#3 - "Imagine" by John Lennon
#2 - "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones
and the #1 Top 500 song of all time:
#1 - "Like a Rolling Stone" by Bob Dylan
"No other pop song has so thoroughly challenged and transformed the commercial laws and artistic conventions of its time, for all-time," writes senior editor David Fricke in the latest issue of the magazine.The full list is here.
