Rolling Stone® Magazine’s "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" is the ultimate celebration of the greatest rock & roll songs of all time.
The editors of Rolling Stone® called on a five-star jury of singers, musicians, producers, industry figures, critics and, of course, songwriters.
The 172 voters, who included Brian Wilson, Joni Mitchell and Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy, nominated 2,103 songs in virtually every pop-music genre of the past half-century and beyond, from Hank Williams to OutKast. The results were tabulated according to a weighted point system.
