Rolling Stones ranked the song Rock Around the Clock # 158 in the list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time .
Although it was probably not the first rock and roll record , nor was it the first successful record of the genre ( Bill Haley had American chart success with `` Crazy Man , Crazy '' in 1953 , and in 1954 `` Shake , Rattle and Roll '' reached # 1 on the Billboard R & B chart ) , it is considered by many to be the song that put rock and roll on the map in America and around the world .
