What Rolling Stones songs are on the top 500 list?”
Rolling Stone Magazine released a list of “500 Greatest Songs of All Time” in November 2004. It represents an eclectic mix of music spanning the past 50 years, and contains a wide variety of artists sharing the spotlight, including Bobby Darin, Madonna, Patsy Cline and OutKast. The Rolling Stone 500 was compiled by 172 voters comprised of rock artists and well-known rock music experts, who submitted ranked lists of their favorite 50 rock&roll/pop music songs. The songs were then tallied to create the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Topping the list is Bob Dylans Like A Rolling Stone. The rest of the top ten is made-up of other legendary and influential rock icons and bands. The Rolling Stones grab the #2 position, followed by John Lennon, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, the Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, the Beatles, Nirvana, and Ray Charles. List favorites include the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan, who appear a combined total of 49 times, making-up almost 10% of the list. by Kendr
Fourteen of the Stones’ songs make it to the Rolling Stone’s magazine’s top “500 Greatest Songs Of All Time”.

Second on Rolling Stone magazine’s “500 Greatest Songs of All Time” list is the Rolling Stones with 14. These days the iconic band is fronted by founders Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and backed ably by – as Richards calls him, the “irreducible core” of the Stones – drummer Charlie Watts, and newest member (at 35 years), guitarist Ronnie Wood. In the 1960s, the Stones were often the anti-Beatles, with even more raggedy hair, a slouchy, don’t-give-a-crap demeanor and snarl in the music, notably in Jagger’s singing (and on his face).
