Rolling Stone: Τα 500 καλύτερα τραγούδια όλων των εποχών

17 χρόνια μετά την πρώτη δημοσίευση του, το Rolling Stone ανανέωσε για πρώτη φορά τον κατάλογο με τα 500 καλύτερα τραγούδια όλων των εποχών. Όπως αναφέρει το περιοδικό, στη διαδικασία καταρτισμού της λίστας συμμετείχαν πάνω από 250 καλλιτέχνες, παραγωγοί, κριτικοί και δημοσιογράφοι, φτιάχνοντας ο καθένας μία λίστα με τα 50 καλύτερα τραγούδια κατά την άποψη του.

Πάνω από  4.000 πήραν ψήφους και στην τελική λίστα μπήκαν 254 τραγούδια που δεν υπήρχαν σε αυτή του 2004, ενώ από αυτά περίπου 30 μπήκαν στις πρώτες 100 θέσεις. Όπως είναι λογικό, η λίστα περιλαμβάνει πλέον περισσότερο hip-hοp, R & B, modern country, indie rock ακόμα και Latin pop και reggae.

Προφανώς και η λίστα σηκώνει μπόλικη κουβέντα όταν στο νούμερο 50, βρίσκεται για κάποιο λόγο το Gasolina (ναι, το Gasolina), ενώ το crazy in love της Beyonce, πάει πιο ψηλά από το Bohemian Rhapsody των Queen.

Σημειώνουμε επίσης ότι το πιο πρόσφατο τραγούδι στις υψηλές θέσεις της λίστας είναι το Dancing on My Own της Robyn από το 2010, ενώ στο top-50 υπάρχουν 12 τραγούδια που κυκλοφόρησαν από το 2000 και μετά.

Με δύο τραγούδια μπαίνουν στη λίστα οι Black Sabbath (Paranoid-338, Iron Man-344), οι Metallica (Master of Puppets-256, Enter Sandman-390) και οι Sex Pistols (Anarchy in the UK-125, God Save The Queen-365), ενώ στις πρώτες 100 θέσεις βρίσκουμε το Sweet Child O’ Mine των Guns ‘N’ Roses (88), το Stairway to Heaven των Led Zeppelin (61), ενώ το Smells Like Teen Spirit των Nirvana μπήκε στο top 10, στο νούμερο 5.

Το πιο πρόσφατο τραγούδι στη λίστα είναι το Savage (Remix) από Megan Thee Stallion και Beyonce, ενώ από το 2019 έχουμε το Bad Guy της Billie Eilish και το Thank U, Next της Arianna Grande.

Ακολουθεί αναλυτικά η λίστα με τα 500 καλύτερα τραγούδια όλων των εποχών σύμφωνα με το Rolling Stone.
