I’m a Beatles fan, of course Lennon-McCartney would be No. Music critic: “I’m putting together a list of the Top 100 songwriters of the rock era.” I’ll try to piece together the conversation, from my side of it. You know me, I love people, I can’t help it. One day, I tried to engage the music critic. My desk was opposite the music columnist, who had been there forever.

True story from my career, this long climb to the middle: Early on, I got a job reviewing concerts and TV and general assignments for a struggling newspaper. How’s it possible? Rolling Stone came up with its new 500 greatest songs list by polling 250 artists, writers, journalists, critics and industry figures. How is it possible that "Fight the Power," recorded in 1989 and with nothing else changing, jumps from No. Songs, like shortstops, don’t suddenly achieve greatness 30, 40, 50 years later. Rolling Stone swapping out 254 songs on its 500 Greatest Songs list is like the Baseball Hall of Fame replacing 180 current members with different players. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it on youtube, from the waist up, on the Ed Sullivan Show. Elvis Presley didn’t become less revolutionary over time. The shortest song is "Rave On" by Buddy Holly (1:47), the longest "The End" by the Doors (11:41).Īccording to the magazine editors, the 2021 list is a “more expansive, inclusive vision of pop music that keeps rewriting its history.” Rewriting history can be dangerous. John Lennon is the only artist to appear twice in the Top 10 with "Strawberry Fields Forever" as part of the Beatles and "Imagine" a solo hit. The only instrumental is "Green Onions" by Booker T (not the wrestler) and the M.G.’s. The only entry not sung in English is "La Bamba" by Ritchie Valens. But, that's the power of a guy riding a skateboard on TikTok.įun facts: The Beatles have the most entries (12) on the 2021 list, followed by the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and David Bowie with seven each. Of course, how a song rates historically is subjective. 9? That’s some speeding bullet, considering it was released in 1987.

"Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac wasn’t on the 2004 list and now lands at No. But "Hound Dog," the original 1952 version by Big Mama Thornton, which wasn’t on the 2004 list, is No. More than half of the 2021 list, 254 titles, weren’t on the 2004 list. This time, it wasn’t a big deal, hardly a blip on talk radio, my concert-going friends weren’t even aware of the updated ranking.
Please don't sue us, Rolling Stone.) - came out with its revised list of 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. I couldn’t name the elements on the periodic table, but I memorized the backs of baseball cards and flip sides of singles.Įarlier this month, Rolling Stone - I swear I didn’t know it still existed ( Editor's note: Uh, yeah. I grew up loving sports and rock ‘n’ roll on the radio.
I accepted that Rolling Stone was a mass media magazine and had to appeal across the board, and above all else, had to look hip to its readers. 212, their entire catalog of songs released in the U.S. Left up to me, The Beatles would hold down No. The Rolling Stone 500 was one of the best conversation-starters ever - challenged only by “Who was your first concert” in college dorms during freshman orientation week.įor the record (mostly 45s), the Top 10 went a little something like this: Of all time is a very long time, but for argument’s sake, let’s say 1955 to now.
