Dylan Plucks No. 1 Song of All Time

Rolling Stone magazine has named the top 500 songs of all-time, and, well, the No. 1 song isn't exactly a complete unknown.

Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" tops the list, compiled from votes by 172 critics and musicians including Brian Wilson, Joni Mitchell and Jeff Tweedy of Wilco.

"No other pop song has so thoroughly challenged and transformed the commercial laws and artistic conventions of its time, for all-time," writes senior editor David Fricke in the latest issue of the magazine.

Following "Like a Rolling Stone" are the Rolling Stones'"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," John Lennon's "Imagine," Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" and Aretha Franklin's "Respect."

"It's worth noting that 'Like a Rolling Stone' and 'Satisfaction' were recorded within a month of each other," Fricke told The Associated Press Wednesday. "It says a lot about how fast pop music was moving at that time."

Rounding out the top 10: "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys, "Johnny B. Goode" by Chuck Berry, the Beatles'"Hey Jude," Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Ray Charles'"What'd I Say."

Though the list is heavy on the '50s, '60s and '70s (voters were told to focus on "the rock 'n' roll era"), the most recent song is 2003's "Hey Ya!" by OutKast, charting at No. 180.

Squeaking in as the 500th all-time best song is Boston's "More Than a Feeling."
