Music News: A MONUMENTAL TASK
The List Gets An Update
Rolling Stone Magazine is about to release another collector’s issue which contains the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The list was updated recently after it was first compiled and released in 2004.
The Beatles, not surprisingly, have the most number of songs on the list with 23 songs. The Rolling Stones finished second with 14 songs on the list. What may be surprising – and certainly validates those who claim the best music came from the 50's, 60's and 70's – is the fact only one song from the 80's and one from the 90's made the Top 50.
What is NOT surprising is the fact our listeners are really cool. When we ran our own survey for the Best Song of The 50's, you selected Johnny B. Goode by Chuck Berry. That song is the highest rated song from that decade on Rolling Stone's list. When we asked you to select the Best Song of The 60's, you chose Bob Dylan's Like A Rolling Stone. That epic finished very high on Rolling Stone's list. How high? Click the blue Read More (just below) and find out because we've got their top 50 on the inside.
