Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time

Too Much Beatles — 3 years ago

23 songs by the Beatles, and only 12 by Bob Dylan!? Okay, I appreciate the fact that they put Dylan’s Like a Rolling Stone at #1, and surprisingly the highest Beatles song is Hey Jude at #8. Despite that, however, once again the Beatles are appreciated on an RS list five times more than any other artist. Can’t Buy Me Love, With a Little Help from My Friends, A Hard Day’s Night, Ticket to Ride, Norweigian Wood, Rain, I Saw Her Standing There, and Penny Lane do not need to be on the list. Joe Cocker’s cover of With a Little Help from My Friends is so much better, and should definitely replace the Beatles’ version. I don’t bash this list as much as a lot of people do because, for the most part, RS did a pretty good job with it, but there are definitely some things they need to look over and revise.
