The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time was the cover story of a special issue of Rolling Stone magazine published in November 2004.
The song list was chosen based on votes by 172 musicians, critics, and music industry figures.
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).
They are followed by:
The Rolling Stones (14 entries);
Bob Dylan (12);
Elvis Presley (11);
The Beach Boys and Jimi Hendrix (7 each);
Chuck Berry, U2, James Brown, Prince, Led Zeppelin and Sly & the Family Stone (6 each).
User Ana F. (anas1990f) made a terrific job compiling the (currently 400 top) song list into a 4 series video and kindly shared it on youtube:
