hall of fame museum curator james henke, along with "the museum's curatorial staff and numerous rock critics and music experts", created an unordered list of "500 songs that shaped rock and roll". the list is part of a permanent exhibit at the museum, and was envisioned as part of the museum from its opening in 1995. it contains songs recorded from the 1920s through the 1990s. the oldest song on the list is "wabash cannonball", written circa 1882 and credited to j. a. roff. since then, however, an additional 160 songs have been added, and the list is now simply referred to as "the songs that shaped rock and roll". the most recent songs on the list are gnarls barkley's "crazy" and my chemical romance's "welcome to the black parade", both released in 2006. the beatles and the rolling stones are the most represented on the 660-song list, with eight songs each.
