# Les chansons qui ont façonné le rock 'n' roll

Les chansons qui ont façonné le rock 'n' roll (The Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll), initialement appelée 500 chansons qui ont façonné le rock 'n' roll (500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll), est une liste établie en 1994 par James Henke, conservateur en chef du Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, avec l'aide de différents musicologues et critiques musicaux, répertoriant, selon eux, les 660 chansons les plus influentes dans l'évolution du rock 'n' roll.

## Contexte

La liste fait partie d'une exposition permanente du musée, présente depuis son ouverture en 1995 à Cleveland dans l'Ohio, sous la forme d'une base de données interactive. Initialement, elle recense 500 chansons enregistrées entre les années 1920 et les années 1990. Elle ne contient pas seulement des chansons rock ; on y trouve de nombreux morceaux de blues, jazz, country, rhythm and blues, doo-wop, soul, gospel, hip-hop, etc. La plus ancienne est Wabash Cannonball, écrite vers 1882 et crédité à J. A. Roff$^,$. Depuis lors, cependant, 160 chansons supplémentaires ont été ajoutées. Les chansons les plus récentes de la liste sont Crazy de Gnarls Barkley et Welcome to the Black Parade de My Chemical Romance, toutes deux sorties en 2006. Les Beatles et les Rolling Stones sont les plus représentés dans la liste de 660 chansons, avec huit titres chacun. Huit chansons sont composées par Bob Dylan et huit autres par le duo Jerry Leiber et Mike Stoller. Cette liste, établie par ordre alphabétique, ne constitue pas un classement.

## Liste détaillée
