Rolling Stone: 500 Greatest Songs of All Time

by Rolling Stone Magazine

The RS 500 was assembled by the editors of Rolling Stone, based on the results of two extensive polls. In 2003, Rolling Stone asked a panel of 271 artists, producers, industry executives and journalists to pick the greatest albums of all time. In 2009, we asked a similar group of 100 experts to pick the best albums of the 2000s. From those results, Rolling Stone created this new list of the greatest albums of all time.

Read this years ago and liked it a lot.

Of course the song that inspired the magazine's name was going to be #1. I always take "all-time lists" with a grain of salt. How can art be ranked?
