Rolling Stone's updated greatest songs of all time list sees Aretha Franklin, Public Enemy in top spots

Aretha Franklin, Public Enemy, Sam Cooke, Bob Dylan and Nirvana are the top five on Rolling Stone’s updated list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.

Notably, the list contains more hip-hop, modern country, indie rock, Latin pop, reggae, and R&B than the previous version, and 245 entries did not previously hold a space.

The coveted first spot goes to Aretha Franklin for her version of "Respect," originally recorded by Otis Redding. The song has recently seen a surge in popularity following the Queen of Soul’s recently released biopic of the same name.
