Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time

In 2004, the famous music magazine Rolling Stone published a list of the 500 greatest songs of all time, according to votings from 170 people from the music industry. As with any top list, it’s entirely subjective, and I don’t agree with half of the list. Nonetheless, it’s a great compilation of timeless hits, although limited by its origin. Analyzing the list, there are no instrumental songs, and only one song not in english, with emphasis in rock, folk, swing, ballads, etc. and a complete absence of electronic, minimalistic or experimental music. No need to say that my top 500 list would be 90% different. In any case, getting the full compilation could be a good idea (I use µTorrent), although some of you might want to wait until I make one of those DVDs I do.
