RS Mag Top 500 Songs #1-10

1. Like a Rolling Stone: Bob Dylan- Musically and lyrically different than anything before it. Everyone has been trying to copy it ever since.

2. Satisfaction: The Rolling Stones- The greatest pure rock song ever.

3. Imagine: John Lennon- Lady Gaga recently played the white piano which caused a major ruckus and people cried blasphemy!

4. What’s Going On?: Marvin Gaye- Gaye was tired of the Motown grind and changed it up with a socially conscious song which both spoke to the times, but also his personal life.

5. Respect: Aretha Franklin- The message combined with Aretha’s vocals made this a powerhouse.

6. Good Vibrations: The Beach Boys- Nothing sounded like this.

7. Johnny B. Goode: Chuck Berry- The second greatest pure rock song ever…

8. Hey Jude: The Beatles- The Beatles biggest hit. Amazing considering it’s over 7 minutes long.

9. Smells Like Teen Spirit: Nirvana- No one saw this coming…

10. What I’d Say: Ray Charles- Charles wrote this on stage in front of an audience.
