In 1971, the English rock band Led Zeppelin released the song “Stairway to Heaven,” which was written by Robert Plant. A significant number of people who are part of the Ranker network are fans of it. Among the greatest songs of all time, it was ranked eighth by Rolling Stone magazine. According to readers of Planet Rock, it was the best song of all time at the time of publication. The amount of votes it got was more than twice that of its closest competitor. It was voted the best rock anthem in the United Kingdom the following year, despite the fact that it had never been published in the nation as a commercial single.

‘Like A Rolling Stone’ — Bob Dylan

The song “Like a Rolling Stone” by Bob Dylan is ranked number one on the Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest songs of all time. With a time of little over six minutes and thirteen seconds, it was an extremely long period of time. This is due to the fact that radio stations did not want to insult their audience by playing the song on their stations. However, despite the fact that it did not sell as many copies as anticipated, it managed to reach the top of the United States charts, where it peaked at No. 2. According to Acclaimed Music, the song has received the most number of plaudits of any song in the history of the world. In 2014, Dylan’s handwritten lyrics were purchased for $2 million dollars.
