In the attic of a dilapidated printing house, Jane Wenner, a student at the University of California, led a group of like-minded young people to typeset and print day and night for their dreams.
At that time, no one expected that this small publication would become an industry benchmark in the next 40 years and even participate in the whole history of making rock music.
The magazine's incisive, unique and harsh evaluation criteria make it one of the most credible and authoritative lists.
The following are the "500 greatest songs in history" officially selected by Rolling Stone magazine TOP 10.
These times-changing voices are worth remembering forever.
Like a Rolling Stone Bob Dylan
That year, Bob Dylan had just returned from a trip to England. Exhausted, he wrote a long poem with a little cynicism in the lyrics.
This six-minute song broke his previous label as a "three-minute folk singer" and formally established his status as a "rock musician".
David Frick, senior editor of Rolling Stone magazine, said:
"No pop song has ever changed that commercial times and artistic concept as profoundly as it has."
I can't get a negative? Satisfied with the Rolling Stones
When this song was first released, it was criticized that the lyrics were too suggestive and could only be played on some private radio stations.
Later, many music critics rated it as "one of the greatest rock songs in history", and in 2006 it was collected in the National Recording Register of the Library of Congress because of its significance in the fields of culture, history and aesthetics.
Imagination John Lennon
197 1 in the winter of, john winston lennon wrote his greatest gift to the world, Imagination, in the bedroom of an English manor.
This song has become the most profitable and highly appraised song in his solo career, which is of great significance.
He tried to make the audience imagine a world without war and barriers caused by religious sects and racial boundaries, and create a wonderful paradise with music.
What's going on? Marvin Gaye
Marvin gaye is one of the most respected and loved superstars in the history of black pop music.
197 1 marvin gaye wrote stories and feelings brought back by his brothers from Vietnam into music, and discussed poverty, social discrimination, drug abuse, political corruption and other issues, which was an outstanding example of "critical realism".
He longed for peace all his life, but he was shot by his father at home the day before his 45th birthday, which became an eternal memory.
Respect aretha franklin
In the United States in the sixties and seventies of last century, racial issues were in a white-hot stage.
The appearance of "respect" seems to be an endorsement of the black human rights movement and spread instantly.
Since then, Aretha Franklin has entered the peak of her singing. She is not only the second female artist to win the most Grammy awards in history, but also the first female singer to be elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Known as the "queen of soul songs", she can always show her strong and confident female views incisively and vividly.
Good Vibration Beach Boy
The recording time of this song was as long as eight months, and it cost more than 50,000 dollars.
As a classic of psychedelic pop in the early period of the anti-culture movement, it has a high evaluation on all major lists.
The success of Good Vibration earned the Beach Boys a Grammy nomination in 1966, and finally became a Grammy Hall of Fame member in 1994.
Johnny B. Goode? Chuck Berry
The history of rock music will never forget the name of Chuck Berry.
His guitar playing style is distinctive, blending elements of blues and country music, and integrating ordinary life and sense of the times into songs. He is a respected black guitar hero.
As one of the highest examples of Chuck Berry's creation, Johnny B. Goode has an unshakable historical position.
Hey, Jude? The Beatles
From 65438 to 0968, John Lennon lived with Yoko Ono Lennon in name only.
Paul, a member of the band, likes Lennon's son Julian very much.
He was worried that the marital changes between adults would cause psychological burden to children, so he wrote Hey Jude to encourage Julian to face the reality bravely.
This song breaks the cultural barriers of various countries with its simple and popular lyrics, and its endless humanistic care is deeply loved by the public.
Nirvana in The Taste of Juvenile Spirit
The style of this song is called "junk rock" or "the voice of Seattle", which is produced to protest against the increasingly empty core behind the increasingly gorgeous appearance of rock music.
As the second representative band of this trend, Nirvana is loved by many people.
Since "The Taste of Juvenile Spirit" became the title song, Kurt Cobain, the lead singer and guitarist, once said helplessly:
"I have written many other equally good works, even better."
He had too much to say, but he finally ended his life at 1994.
No one knows how many misfits are hidden under his angry and gloomy face.
What did I say? ray charles.
/kloc-one night in 0/985, after ray charles and his orchestra and harmony performed all the songs on the program, there was still time, so they improvised this song.
The response from the audience was so enthusiastic that ray charles immediately told the producer that he wanted to record it.
What Did I Say won ray charles's first gold record and became one of the most influential songs in the history of R&B and rock music.
As an ordinary black boy, ray charles, who was blind at the age of seven, pursued his dream with amazing perseverance and understanding, and made unparalleled contributions in the history of music.
Mo Yan once said:
"It is precisely because there are examples in history that cannot be imitated that our ordinary life is occasionally illuminated by extraordinary light."
Years have changed and the people of Sri Lanka have passed away.
But their music is telling the story of life in an eternal posture, which lasts forever.
