After finding this article from The Rolling Stone Magazine<\/a> (dated from 2004) and scratching off a few calculations – here are the musical artists with the most “impact” or presence on the top 500 list.<\/p>\n

For instance, The Beatles have 22 songs in The Rolling Stone’s Top 500 Songs, as they should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Mostly from the classic rock genre – this list of all time hits is pretty solid. The big challenge is to weigh the buzz of modern\/current hits vs. the classics that have already stood the test of time. Life is never fair.<\/p>\n

While it’s impossible to rank everything one by one and make everyone happy – the resulting top ten (above) is hard to argue with. The Beatles are in a league of their own. The Stones, Dylan, and Elvis are top notch just based on how they transformed music during their times.<\/p>\n

The remaining musical artists are all great musicians – ranking them really boils down to personal taste.<\/p>\n

Just an interesting way to breakdown a Top 500 Song list.<\/p>\n
