The 2024 Rock N’ Roll 500 Final Results

If you were rooting against Led Zeppelin in this year’s 97 Rock N’ Roll 500, we have some bad news for you. Not only did “Stairway to Heaven” take home the crown again, but they finished with a record 23 songs in the countdown, proving to be classic rock’s biggest and most bad ass band.

Other notables featured 20 songs from Van Halen (22 songs if you count solo David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar), but none finished in the Top 10. AC/DC boasted 16 songs this year and had the biggest mover on the chart with Thunderstruck rocketing up the chart into the Top 20 for the first time.

Other regulars to the countdown were the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Pink Floyd. But these icons were flanked by some nasty newcomers like Pearl Jam, The Ramones, and the Tragically Hip. The countdown saw some turnover from recent years, but nothing could stop Led Zeppelin from reaching the pinnacle once again.
