For the first time in 17 years, Rolling Stone has updated their iconic list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.

Aretha Franklin and Public Enemy nabbed the top two spots of Rolling Stone's updated list of the 500 greatest songs of all time for 'Respect' and 'Fight the Power,' respectively.

Sam Cooke’s "A Change is Gonna Come" (No. 3), Bob Dylan’s "Like a Rolling Stone" (No. 4) and Nirvana’s "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (No. 5) round out the top 5.

The updated list still puts classic acts like The Beatles, Stevie Wonder and Fleetwood Mac in its higher spots, but the top 50 now contain entries from newer acts like Kendrick Lamar, Lorde and Robyn – all of whom scored high spots for songs released after the original’s publication.

In fact, the top five is noticeably different this time around, as the 2004 version put "Like a Rolling Stone" in the No.
