Is Rolling Stones, Top 3 greatest songs of all time; Aretha Franklin, 'Respect' -Public Enemy, 'Fight the Power' - & Sam Cooke, 'A Change Is Gonna Come' - (selected today in 2021) a cultural statement for social/political correctness?

I personal think the 2004 selection; Bob Dylan, 'Like a Rolling Stone' -The Rolling Stones, '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' - John Lennon, 'Imagine' – is a better musical representation of the Top 3 greatest songs of all time.
