流行音乐杂志《滚石》与mtv音乐电视联合评选出了自1963年以来世界最伟大的一百首流行歌曲。“甲壳虫”乐队的经典老歌“yesterday”（昨日）被传唱三十七年，经久不衰，高居百佳之首。 　　《滚石》与mtv策划本次评选活动。之所以把评选的时间范围定在1963年至今是因为1963年“甲壳虫”乐队首次登陆美国演出标志着现代流行音乐时代的开始。仅仅选出代表这个时代的100首经典歌曲并非易事，五位《滚石》杂志的编辑和来自mtv的节目制作人、研究人员经过反复斟酌、仔细推敲才最终确定了这100首具有代表性的歌曲1-The Beatles-yesterday2-Rolling Stones-Satisfaction3-Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit4-Madonna - Like A Virgin5-Michael Jackson - Billie Jean6-Beatles - I Want To Hold Your Hand7-Aretha Franklin-Respect8-U2-With or Without You9-Jackson 5 - I Want You Back10-Backstreet boys-I Want It That Way11-The Eagles-Hotel California12-The Supremes-Where Did Our Love Go13-Guns N' Roses-Sweet Child O' Mine14-The Rolling Stones-Brown Sugar15-John Lennon-Imagine16-Sinead O'Connor-Nothing Compares to You17-Stevie Wonder-Superstition18-R.E.M.-Losing My Religion19-Madonna-Vogue20-Bob Dylan-Like A Rolling Stone21-Van Morrison-Brown Eyed Girl22-Michael Jackson-Beat It23-Roy Orbison-Oh, Pretty Woman24-Marvin Gaye - What's Going On25-Brittany Spears - Baby One More Time26-Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way27-Prince-When Doves Cry28-Hanson-MMMBop29-Queen-Bohemian Rhapsody30-Elton John-Your Song31-Santana f Rob Thomas-Smooth32-Otis Redding-(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay33-The Who-My Generation34-Alanis Morissette-Ironic35-Bruce Springstein - Born to run36-TLC-Waterfalls37-O.P.P. - Naughty By Nature38-David Bowie - Changes39-Goo Goo Dolls-Iris40-Whitney Houston-I Will Always Love You41-Creedance Clearwater Revival - Proud Mary42-The Police-Every Breath You Take43-Rolling Stones - Miss You44-ABBA-Dancing Queen45-Eric Clapton-Tears in Heaven46-Smokey Robinson - The Tracks Of My Tears47-Van Halen-Jump48-Pearl Jam - Jeremy49-Bob Dylan - Tangled Up In Blue50-Prince-Little Red Corvette51-The Temptations - Just My Imagination52-Paul McCartney - Maybe I'm Amazed53-George Micheal - Faith54-Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under The Bridge55-N'Sync - Bye Bye Bye56-Gloria Gaynor - I Will 57-The Go Go's - Our Lips Are Sealed58-The Wallflowers - One Headlight59-Stevie Wonder - You Are the Sunshine of My Life60-Billy Joel - Just The Way You Are61-REM - The One I Love62-Madonna - Papa Don't Preach63-Beatles - In My Life64-Elton John - Bennie And The Jets65-The Cars - Just What I Needed66-Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time67-Eminem - My Name Is68-Garbage - Only Happy When It Rains69-Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough70-Beach Boys - Good Vibrations71-Romones - I Wanna Be Sedated72-Tom Petty - Free Fallin'73-Culture Club - Do You Really Want to Hurt Me74-Elton John - Tiny Dancer75-Sly and Family Stone - Hot Fun In The Summer time76-Radiohead - Creep77-Al Green - Lets Stay Together78-Green Day - Longview79-Janet Jackson - Nasty80-LL Cool J - I Need Love81-No Doubt - Don't Speak82-Michael Jackson - Rock With You83-Foreigner - I Want To Know What Love Is84-Oasis - Wonderwall85-Cheap Trick - Surrender86-Human League - Don't You Want Me87-Pretenders - Brass In Pocket88-Wyclef Jean - Gone Till November(acoustic)89-Wham - Careless Whispers90-Brandy and Monica - That Boy Is Mine91-Backstreet Boys - No Diggity(Featuring Dr. Dre)92-ACDC - You Shook Me All Night Long93-Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive94-Blink 182 - All The Small Things95-Chic - Good Times [Longer Disco Version]96-Def Leopard - Photograph97-B-52's - Love Shack98-Fine Young Cannibals - She Drives Me Crazy99-Biz Markie - Just A Friend.mp3100-Soft Cell - Tainted Love100-Soft Cell - Tainted Love
