By breaking records as well as reaching new heights, most of these songs have gone down in history books. Here are Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and Ranker’s The Best Songs of All Time, in an effort to create a list of the greatest songs of all time.

‘Gimme Shelter’ — The Rolling Stones

“Gimme Shelter” made quite an impression for a song that Keith Richards wrote in 20 minutes. Jagger said in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine regarding the actual inspiration for the lyrics of the song: “Well, it’s a very rough, very violent era. The Vietnam War. Violence on the screens, pillage, and burning… That’s a kind of end-of-the-world song. It’s apocalypse; the whole record’s like that.” Interestingly, the song was not initially inspired by Vietnam or social unrest, but by a sudden rainstorm, and Keith Richards saw people rushing for shelter.
