<P> The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's most acclaimed program is the annual American Music Masters series . Each year the museum celebrates one of the Hall's inductees with a week - long series of programs that include interviews, film screenings, and, often, a special exhibit . The celebration ends with an all - star concert held at a Cleveland theater . The concerts include a diverse mix of artists, from Hall of Fame inductees to contemporary musicians . </P> <P> The American Music Masters series began in 1996 with Hard Travelin': The Life and Legacy of Pete Seeger . Since then, the programs have honored the following inductees: Jimmie Rodgers (1997), Robert Johnson (1998), Louis Jordan (1999), Muddy Waters (2000), Bessie Smith (2001), Hank Williams (2002), Buddy Holly (2003), Lead Belly (2004), Sam Cooke (2005), Roy Orbison (2006), Jerry Lee Lewis (2007), Les Paul (2008), Janis Joplin (2009), Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew (2010), Aretha Franklin (2011), and Chuck Berry (2012). </P> <P> 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 Beatles with seven songs was the most represented on the 500--song list . The oldest song on the list is "Wabash Cannonball", written circa 1882 and credited to J.A. Roff . Since then, however, an additional 155 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 . </P> <Ul> <Li> 8 The Beatles </Li> <Li> 8 The Rolling Stones </Li> <Li> 7 Elvis Presley </Li> <Li> 5 The Beach Boys </Li> <Li> 5 Chuck Berry </Li> <Li> 5 Bob Dylan </Li> <Li> 5 Led Zeppelin </Li> <Li> 5 Bruce Springsteen </Li> <Li> 4 Stevie Wonder </Li> <Li> 4 David Bowie </Li> <Li> 4 James Brown </Li> <Li> 4 Ray Charles </Li> <Li> 4 The Drifters </Li> <Li> 4 Aretha Franklin </Li> <Li> 4 Jimi Hendrix </Li> <Li> 4 Robert Johnson </Li> <Li> 4 The Kinks </Li> <Li> 4 Bob Marley </Li> <Li> 4 The Miracles </Li> <Li> 4 Prince </Li> <Li> 4 Muddy Waters </Li> </Ul>
