This was not millions of fans voting it was people in the industry...

"Rolling Stone asked musicians, critics, historians and key industry figures to rank their 50 favorites. The 273 participants included Beck, U2's The Edge, Jackson Browne, Art Garfunkel, Missy Elliott and members of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Linkin Park and The Doors. The Ernst & Young accounting firm devised a point system to weight votes for 1,600 submitted titles."

The Beatles continuously end up high on these types of lists. Many groups in history can take the claim to the following: they have one of the best love songs, OR best rock 'n roll songs, OR one of the best silly songs, OR one of the best albums made, OR they changed music in this way or that, but only one group did ALL of this - The Beatles.
