500 Greatest Songs of All Time

Rolling Stone’s definitive list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.
By ROLLING STONE

By Jay-Z

A great song doesn’t attempt to be anything — it just is.

When you hear a great song, you can think of where you were when you first heard it, the sounds, the smells. It takes the emotions
of a moment and holds it for years to come. It transcends time. A great song has all the key elements — melody; emotion; a strong
statement that becomes part of the lexicon; and great production. Think of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” by Queen. That song had
everything — different melodies, opera, R&B, rock — and it explored all of those different genres in an authentic way, where it felt
natural.

When I’m writing a song that I know is going to work, it’s a feeling of euphoria. It’s how a basketball player must feel when he starts
hitting every shot, when you’re in that zone. As soon as you start, you get that magic feeling, an extra feeling. Songs like that come
out in five minutes; if I work on them more than, say, 20 minutes, they’re probably not going to work.

Led Zeppelin, 'Black Dog'

Writers: Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones

Producer: Page
Released: Nov. '71, Atlantic
12 weeks; No. 15

A dog meandering the grounds outside Zeppelin’s studio in rural England inspired the title, but the subject was honey-dripping
sex. "Things like 'Black Dog' are blatant let’s-do-it-in-the-bath-type things," Plant said, "but they make their point."

Al Green, 'Tired of Being Alone'

Writer: Green
Producers: Willie Mitchell, Green
Released: July '71, Hi
19 weeks; No. 11

After a show in Detroit, Green woke up before dawn the next day at a motel in rural Michigan with a song forming in his mind.
Half an hour later, he had "Tired of Being Alone." But Mitchell wasn’t much interested in Green's own material. "I was toting my
song around in my pocket for days on end saying 'Hey I got a song '" Green said "Finally at the end of the session I said 'Well

The Clash, 'Train in Vain'

Writers: Mick Jones, Joe Strummer

Producer: Guy Stevens
Released: Dec. '79, Epic
14 weeks; No. 23

"Train In Vain" was the hidden track at the end of the Clash's London Calling, unlisted on the sleeve or on the label. It didn’t even
have a proper title; fans initially assumed it was called "Stand by Me," after the chorus. But it became a surprise hit in America,
thanks to its hard-charging drums and weary vocals from guitarist Jones, who wrote the bitter love song in his grandmother’s
flat.

The Zombies, 'She's Not There'

Writer: Rod Argent

Producer: Ken Jones
Released: Oct. '64, Parrot
15 weeks; No. 2

With Colin Blunstone’s gauzy vocals and Argent’s scampering piano, "She’s Not There" was one of the British Invasion’s jazziest
singles. Argent was a fan of Elvis and the Beatles, but also Miles Davis, who became a subconscious influence. "When I wrote and
played 'She’s Not There,' the last thing on my mind was jazz or Miles," says Argent, "but those things filtered through."

Eminem feat. Dido, 'Stan'

Writers: Marshall Mathers,D. Armstrong, P. Herman

Producers: Eminem, the 45 King
Released: March '00, Aftermath
15 weeks; No. 51

"Stan" was Eminem’s scariest song, because for once the horror seemed real. Anchored by a sample from Dido’s "Thank You"
(which became a hit itself), it followed an obsessed fan who acts out Em's fantasies. "He’s crazy for real, and he thinks I’m crazy,
but I try to help him at the end of the song," said Eminem. "It kinda shows the real side of me."

The Beatles, 'Can't Buy Me Love'

Writers: John Lennon, Paul McCartney

Producer: George Martin
Released: March '64, Capitol
10 weeks; No. 1

"'Can’t Buy Me Love' is my attempt to write [in] a bluesy mode," McCartney said. He wrote it while the band was doing concerts
in Paris for 18 days straight, two or three shows a day. The single was released a few months later, at the height of Beatlemania.
When it hit Number One, the band occupied all five top positions on the American charts.

Barrett Strong, 'Money (That's What I Want)'

Writers: Berry Gordy, Janie Bradford

Producer: Gordy
Released: Jan. '60, Anna
17 weeks; No. 23

The sessions lasted more than 40 takes and several days, but Gordy didn’t care: It was the first song cut in his Hitsville USA
studio, and there were no bills to pay. With a howling vocal over a live band, this was gutbucket R&B, far more raw than the
Motown hits that followed. But when it became Gordy’s first hit, it provided the money to pay for them.

Run-DMC, 'Walk This Way'

Producers: Rick Rubin,Russell Simmons
Released: May '86, Profile
16 weeks; No. 4

Run-DMC pioneered the use of rock guitar in hip-hop with the tracks "Rock Box" and "King of Rock." But this Aerosmith cover
— with help from Tyler and Perry — was a crossover smash, establishing a blueprint for scores of metal-rap mash-ups. For Run,
though, it was just another day rhyming. "I made that record because I used to rap over it when I was 12," he told Rolling Stone.

Malkmus and Kannberg cut this tender pop tune about a summer crush in the garage studio of their hippie drummer, Gary
Young. "We didn’t know how to record," Malkmus confessed. "We used reverb on the drums — the cheapest, worst reverb ever."
Malkmus said he was trying to sound like Lou Reed, singing about "sad boy stuff."

This was based on Wolf’s "Crying at Daybreak," recorded years earlier and itself modeled on Charley Patton’s "Moon Going
Down." The inspiration, said Wolf, was watching trains cut through the night: "We used to sit out in the country and see the
trains go by, watch the sparks come out of the smokestack. That was smokestack lightning."

Elvis Costello and the Attractions, '(What's So Funny About) Peace, Love and Understanding'

Writer: Nick Lowe

Producer: Lowe
Released: Jan. '79, Columbia
Non-single

"What’s So Funny" was written by Lowe, Costello’s pal and producer. The original, by Lowe’s country-rock band Brinsley
Schwartz, was mellow and cute, but Costello snarls the song intensely enough to make the title question seem brand-new, with
thundering drums and droning piano. It’s like Abba playing punk rock.

Blondie, 'Call Me'

Writers: Giorgio Moroder, Deborah Harry

Producer: Moroder
Released: Feb. '80, Chrysalis
25 weeks; No. 1

The main reason Blondie recorded "Call Me" for the Richard Gere flick American Gigolo was to work with their hero, Euro-disco
producer Moroder. "He was the king of disco," Harry said. "And we were still the anti-establishment invaders." Moroder’s first
choice for a vocalist was Stevie Nicks, but Harry’s New Wave edge helped make the song the biggest seller of 1980.

Joni Mitchell, 'Help Me'

Writer: Mitchell

"I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," Mitchell said in 1979. "They’d laugh, 'Aww, isn’t that cute? She’s
trying to tell us how to play.'" It took a jazz group — Tom Scott’s L.A. Express — to realize her biggest hit, a swooning confession
of love trouble complete with swirling sax break. One rocker, Prince, loved the song so much he quoted it on "The Ballad of
Dorothy Parker."

Stevie Wonder, 'You Are the Sunshine of My Life'

Writer: Wonder
Producer: Wonder
Released: Nov. '72, Tamla
17 weeks; No. 1

Wonder originally wrote and recorded "Sunshine" while he was finishing his 1972 LP Music of My Mind, but he decided to hang
on to it until his next album, Talking Book. He had written the song for future wife Syreeta Wright, who had met Wonder at the
Motown offices, where she was a secretary. The cut was Talking Book’s second Number One hit, following "Superstition."

Jack White used an effects pedal to make his guitar sound like a bass for this howling anthem about rage and paranoia. The result
was the greatest riff of the 2000s and a massive, career-changing hit that has been covered by everyone from Metallica to the
University of South Alabama marching band. As for the title, "That’s what I called the Salvation Army when I was a kid," White
told Rolling Stone.

"Most love songs are just calculated attempts at commercial exploitation — they’re not anything to do with love as I understand
it," said Cure leader Smith. After the relatively cheerful pop songs of Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, he wanted to write the Cure’s
heaviest songs yet. With this epic of cascading synths and broken dreams, he succeeded.

"I wasn’t at all surprised 'Ziggy Stardust' made my career," Bowie told Rolling Stone. "I packaged a totally credible plastic rock
star." This glam power ballad told the story of his most famous alter ego over Mick Ronson’s flash guitars. Bowie and Ziggy
became so inextricably linked that Bowie’s over-the-top manager, Tony Defries, demanded that all his employees get Ziggy
haircuts.

It was a good day’s work at Stax in 1971 when the Staples cut both "Respect Yourself" and "I’ll Take You There." The latter — a

Before it became the centerpiece of Springsteen’s biggest album, "U.S.A." was an acoustic protest song meant for Nebraska. But
when Springsteen revived it with the E Street Band, Roy Bittan came up with a huge synth riff, and Max Weinberg hammered out
a beat like he was using M-80s for drumsticks. "We played it two times, and our second take is the record," Springsteen said.

Messiah.

"I can’t believe the news today" out of fear that its plea for peace would be misconstrued.

After Bell got his draft notice in May '67, he wanted to record with his group, the Drells, before he got shipped off to Vietnam. He
pulled out "Tighten Up," one of the group’s old demos. Bell got shot in the leg in Vietnam; the record went to Number One while

The Ronettes, 'Walking in the Rain'

Writers: Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, Phil Spector

Producer: Spector
Released: Oct. '64, Philles
11 weeks; No. 23

Just as the first wave of British Invasion bands threatened to overtake Spector at the top of the pop charts, the producer
responded with "Walking in the Rain." The dreamy ballad features Veronica "Ronnie" Bennett singing lead. She nailed the vocal
on the first take — unheard of in Spector’s world. Bennett and Spector were married two years later.

Singers from Ray Charles to Etta James covered this portrait of America from the perspective of a slave trader. As usual for
Newman, it combines lush melody with painful satire. "One thing with my music," he said, "you can’t sit and eat potato chips, and
have it on in the background at a party."

Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, 'Ooo Baby Baby'

Robinson called this ballad his "national anthem," noting, "Wherever we go, it’s the one song that everybody asks for." "Baby" has
what may be his most delicate and wounded vocal. When Robinson sighs the line "I’m crying," it’s a reminder that no matter how
many vocalists keep covering his songs, nobody sings Smokey like Smokey.

Wonder wrote, produced and played every instrument on "Higher Ground," which was recorded just before he was involved in a
near-fatal car accident in August '73 — no, he wasn’t driving — that left him in a coma. Early in Wonder’s recovery, his road
manager tried to revive him by singing the melody of "Ground" into the singer’s ear; Wonder responded by moving his fingers

Writer: Leonard Cohen

Producer: Andy Wallace
Released: Aug. '94, Columbia
Non-Single

During his famed early gigs at the New York club Sin-é, Buckley used to break hearts with his version of this Cohen prayer.
Buckley called it a homage to "the hallelujah of the orgasm" and had misgivings about his sensuous rendition: "I hope Leonard
doesn’t hear it." On his posthumous live album Mystery White Boy, Buckley turns "Hallelujah" into a medley with the Smiths' "I
Know It’s Over."

Producer: Bobby Miller
Released: Aug. '69, Cadet
11 weeks; No. 10

Pioneering Chicago R&B quintet the Dells scored a regional hit with this song in 1956. But bass vocalist Chuck Barksdale wasn’t
on the record, so 13 years later, he persuaded the group to remake "Night" — and included his own opening monologue, along
with a more sumptuous groove, an eerie guitar stab and heart-stopping strings. "I think a little ego got involved there," he said.

"I sat down and made it good from the beginning," Townshend said of the Who’s most volcanic studio single in his first Rolling
Stone interview. Written in 1966, "Miles" was painstakingly built in London and L.A. on rare days off from touring in the summer
of '67, with Townshend piling on multiple guitars to replicate his onstage amp howl. That fury powered the song into the U.S. Top
10.

When Taylor demo’d this three-chord monster in 1965, he didn’t take it too seriously: "I was on the floor laughing when I was

Dylan first recorded "Mississippi" for 1997’s Time Out of Mind, but he hated producer Daniel Lanois’ busy arrangement. This
version, produced pseudonymously by Dylan, has a sturdy, straightforward groove. "Polyrhythm doesn’t work for knifelike lyrics
about majesty and heroism," he said.

Blondie singer Harry and guitarist Stein, her boyfriend, wrote the song as "Once I Had a Love" in their dingy New York
apartment; keyboardist Jimmy Destri provided the synthesizer hook. The result brought punk and disco together on the dance
floor. "Chris always wanted to do disco," Destri said. Not all of their rock fans agreed. "We used to do 'Heart of Glass' to upset
people," he added.

"I’ve been on the road for 13 years," AC/DC singer Scott said in 1978. "Planes, hotels, groupies, booze . . . they all scrape
something from you." Pumped up by producer "Mutt" Lange, "Highway" is the last will and testament of Scott: When he yells,
"Don’t stop me," right before Angus Young’s guitar solo, it’s clear that no one could – he drank himself to death in 1980.

"'Paranoid Android' is about the dullest fucking people on Earth," said singer Yorke, referring to lyrics such as "Squealing Gucci
little piggy," about a creepy coked-out woman he once spied at an L.A. bar. The sound was just as unnerving: a shape-shifting
three-part prog-rock suite. Spooky fact: It was recorded in actress Jane Seymour’s 15th-century mansion, a house that Yorke was
convinced was haunted.

U.K. hard-rock band Hoople had already passed up "Suffragette City," so they didn’t say no when Bowie offered to let them
record "Dudes," the ultimate glam-rock hymn. "I’m thinking, 'He wants to give us that?'" said drummer Dale Griffin. "'He must
be crazy!'" Ian Hunter made it anthemic, contrary to the writer’s apocalyptic intent. "[It’s] about the news," Bowie told RS. "It’s
no hymn to the youth."

Darin first hit in 1958 with the rock & roll bathtub classic "Splish Splash." But he changed his image with this hepcat version of a
morbid tale from Weill’s Threepenny Opera, which dates back to 1928. Darin came on as a finger-snapping sophisticate at home
in the cocktail lounge, scatting over a jazzy groove; it was easy to forget he was singing about a bloodthirsty Berlin gangster.

The second of four hits from 1968’s Lady Soul, this kissoff was written by Covay as a straight blues about field hands in the
South. Covay reworked the lyrics for Franklin; producer Wexler cooked up the propulsive stomp. When songwriter Ellie
Greenwich heard the track in Wexler’s office, she suggested an extra vocal-harmony part, which Wexler got her to sing on the
final master.

Seems odd that Queen, one of the most successful and groundbreaking bands of all time seemed to
only get to 166. Even musicians themselves have been saying that Queen are in the pantheon of the
best artists of all time. The opening paragraph of this page even mentions Queen's bohemian
rhapsody as being something that was revolutionary. Despite what some may say how overrated
the song may be, (which to even I agree to an extent) this song truly was a masterpiece lyrically and
artistically. Everyone has heard of BR, you play those rst few notes, you know what about to play
and everyone stops and sings along, its truly a magical experience. So even if you disagree with
those that believe that it deserves to be closer to the top, stop to think of the cultural and historical
this song has had on the world and maybe, you'll enjoy it just a little more.

The problem is that Queen is very good and entertaining, but they weren't revolutionary. I like
Freddie Mercury, but I don't love Freddie Mercury, if you get what I'm saying. When Queen comes
on the radio, I'm not turning up the volume, but neither do I change the station. I'll probably get
downvotes, but Queen music is disposable bubblegum as opposed to nutritious essentials.

The Pink Floyd songs here are great. It's nice you included 3 of the best Pink Floyd songs, but there
is not one song from The Dark Side of the Moon. There is a reason that is often referred as one of
the best albums ever. At least include Time or Money, maybe even Us and Them. At least one of
these would do.

Yes, this list is biased, but it made me think how "Like a Rolling Stone" could be the best song of all
time. I de nitely won't say it's objectively the best, but I listened to the song on loop after reading
this list. One year later, after learning loads more about Bob Dylan, it's one of my favorite songs of
all time. I highly respect whoever took the time to make this. Of course, it's subjective, but I know I
would never post my personal 500 songs of all time, let alone on an o cial website. I also think it's
funny how "Like a Rolling Stone" got booed constantly when Bob Dylan released it, and so did the
man who claims it's the best song of all time.

So I'm not quite past 400 yet but really what this list is to me is an opportunity to nd good music,
not the greatest songs of all time. At the end of the day, we all have our tastes and our lists all di er,
though favorite songs will change depending on mood, the environment, etc. So lets stop ghting in
this comment section because I hope most of us are just on the hunt for better music, not to see if
(insert song here) is #1 or #500.
