Songs of the Century

Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera.

La Songs of the Century è una lista di canzoni nata dall'iniziativa della Recording Industry Association of America, della National Endowment for the Arts e della Scholastic che mira a promuovere una migliore comprensione del patrimonio musicale e culturale statunitense. A centinaia di elettori, tra i quali molti noti personaggi del mondo della musica e dei media, insegnanti e studenti, è stato chiesto nel 2001 di scegliere le canzoni (non necessariamente statunitensi) del XX secolo con significato storico. Gli elettori sono stati selezionati dalla RIAA, anche se solo il 15% dei 1.300 elettori selezionati ha risposto.

L'elenco delle 25 canzoni, in ordine di voti ricevuti. Ogni canzone è seguita dal nome dell'artista che ha effettuato la registrazione.
