Revija Rolling Stone še vedno trdno stoji za dobrim, starim, klasičnim rockom, zato ni nič čudnega, da je na prvem mestu Bruce Springsteen. Med novinci, ki so zanimivo med desetimi najboljšimi, so se znašli Frank Ocean, Japandroids in Kendrick Lamar. Lestvica je med najboljših 20 postavila tudi še Boba Dylana, Leonarda Cohena in Neila Younga.
