Rolling Stone Magazines 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time (first 200)
The list is composed largely of American and British artists: out of the 500 songs, 357 are from the United States and 117 are from the United Kingdom; the third most represented country is Ireland with 12 entries, then Canada with 10. The list includes just one song not in English ("La Bamba" by Ritchie Valens) and only three songs from the 21st century. The only song from the 1940s is Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" from 1949 (#111). The most recent is OutKast's 2003 hit "Hey Ya!" (#180). With 23 songs on the list, The Beatles are the most represented musical act. John Lennon is the only artist to place multiple songs in the top 10 (as a member of the Beatles and as a solo artist). The Beatles are followed by The Rolling Stones (14 entries); Bob Dylan (12); Elvis Presley (11); The Beach Boys and Jimi Hendrix (seven each); and Chuck Berry, U2, James Brown, Prince, Led Zeppelin and Sly & the Family Stone (six each).
