The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time
In 2004, Rolling Stone published its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It’s one of the most widely read stories in our history, viewed hundreds of millions of times on this site. But a lot has changed since 2004; back then the iPod was relatively new, and Billie Eilish was three years old. So we’ve decided to give the list a total reboot. To create the new version of the RS 500 we convened a poll of more than 250 artists, musicians, and producers — from Angelique Kidjo to Zedd, Sam Smith to Megan Thee Stallion, M. Ward to Bill Ward — as well as figures from the music industry and leading critics and journalists. They each sent in a ranked list of their top 50 songs, and we tabulated the results.Nearly 4,000 songs received votes. Where the 2004 version of the list was dominated by early rock and soul, the new edition contains more hip-hop, modern country, indie rock, Latin pop, reggae, and R&B. More than half the songs here — 254 in all — weren’t present on the old list, including a third of the Top 100. The result is a more expansive, inclusive vision of pop, music that keeps rewriting its history with every beat.

Na semana passada a Rolling Stone publicou a sua nova lista das maiores canções de todos os tempos e provocou a fúria de muita gente, incluindo alguns hits estranhos (como a famigerada Gasolina, de Daddy Yankee, em 50º lugar (???), desbancando clássicos dos Beatles, Elvis e vários outros dos maiores artistas da história da música.
Eu, pessoalmente, senti falta de nomes como Gram Parsons e Janis Joplin na lista, mas mesmo assim, sempre gosto de pegar as playlists pra ouvir, porque sempre acabo descobrindo músicas que por um motivo ou outro deixei passar e gostando.
Sempre bom ressaltar que essas listas são feitas por pessoas e claro que não serão totalmente objetivas nos critérios, as pessoas sempre vão levar em conta seus gostos pessoais.
