Blender was an American music magazine published from 1994 to 2009. In 2005, it published its list of “The Top 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born.” In a New York Times article, Craig Marks, editor-in-chief of Blender said the article was an answer to Rolling Stone magazine’s 2004 list “The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.” The Blender list focused exclusively on songs from 1980 on while Rolling Stone’s list was, as Marks said, “a baby boomer notion of how our cultural history should be written.”
