This list is in random order as there is no way to match 500 songs against each other. It’s also a mixture of many well-known artists and not so many well-known artists. It’s all about the songs here my friends. An away we go………….
- The Beatles. Let's just get this out of the way: Without the Beatles, most of the artists on this list wouldn't even exist. Even the group's contemporaries adored, worshiped and were influenced by them.
- The Rolling Stones. Next to the Beatles, no group has done more for the history of classic rock than the Rolling Stones. Dirtier, gutsier and bluesier than their '60s rivals, the Stones hit their peak in the late '60s and early '70s, when they released a string of albums -- starting with 1968's 'Beggars Banquet' and running through 1972's 'Exile on Main St.' --
- Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin started out as a blues tribute band from the ashes of the Yardbirds, but they quickly catapulted to the top of the rock world with increasingly more sophisticated and powerful albums.
- Jimi Hendrix. Jimi Hendrix did more for the electric guitar than anyone since Chuck Berry, finding new ways to assault, caress and wring noise out of the instrument that nobody knew was in there.
