The festival has become widely regarded as a pivotal moment in popular music history as well as a defining event for the counterculture generation.[12][13] The event's significance was reinforced by a 1970 documentary film,[14] an accompanying soundtrack album, and a song written by Joni Mitchell that became a major hit for both Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Matthews Southern Comfort. Musical events bearing the Woodstock name were planned for anniversaries, which included the tenth, twentieth, twenty-fifth, thirtieth, fortieth, and fiftieth. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine listed it as number 19 of the 50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock and Roll.[15] In 2017, the festival site became listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[16]
