WCSX Rock & Roll 500 (2021)

The all-time countdown (May 2021) from WCSX in Detroit, MI ranks 499 songs, with “Turn the Page” by Bob Seger at number one. The list features 163 different artists; Led Zeppelin has the most entries with 24 songs. Transcribed from the numbered "Title - Artist" list embedded in the article body. A few abbreviated artist names were expanded (BOC to Blue Oyster Cult, BTO to Bachman-Turner Overdrive, CCR to Creedence Clearwater Revival, ELO to Electric Light Orchestra, GFR to Grand Funk Railroad, GNR to Guns N' Roses, SRV to Stevie Ray Vaughan) and several obvious typos were fixed (Derrick and the Dominos to Derek and the Dominos, Jimi Henrix to Jimi Hendrix, John Foggerty to John Fogerty, Lynryd/Lynyrd Skynryd to Lynyrd Skynyrd, Meatloaf to Meat Loaf, White Snake to Whitesnake, Snifn' the Tears to Sniff 'n' the Tears); "The" is dropped from band names throughout for consistency with the rest of this archive. Rank 267 ("Love Me Two Times") has no artist credited in the source and is left out of this file; no other position is missing. The article does not state how the countdown was compiled (no "voted" or "submit your list" language found), so method is marked unknown rather than assumed to be a listener vote.

Transcribed from the numbered "Title - Artist" list embedded in the article body. A few abbreviated artist names were expanded (BOC to Blue Oyster Cult, BTO to Bachman-Turner Overdrive, CCR to Creedence Clearwater Revival, ELO to Electric Light Orchestra, GFR to Grand Funk Railroad, GNR to Guns N' Roses, SRV to Stevie Ray Vaughan) and several obvious typos were fixed (Derrick and the Dominos to Derek and the Dominos, Jimi Henrix to Jimi Hendrix, John Foggerty to John Fogerty, Lynryd/Lynyrd Skynryd to Lynyrd Skynyrd, Meatloaf to Meat Loaf, White Snake to Whitesnake, Snifn' the Tears to Sniff 'n' the Tears); "The" is dropped from band names throughout for consistency with the rest of this archive. Rank 267 ("Love Me Two Times") has no artist credited in the source and is left out of this file; no other position is missing. The article does not state how the countdown was compiled (no "voted" or "submit your list" language found), so method is marked unknown rather than assumed to be a listener vote.

About this countdown

WCSX Rock & Roll 500 (2021) was broadcast by WCSX (Detroit, MI) in May 2021. Positions are shown exactly as the station ranked them; artist and song names have been standardized so that every entry links to that song’s complete chart history across all stations. It counts toward the Classic Rock rankings.
