Uncut magazine have surveyed celeb types on the 'music, film, TV and books that have changed the world', which is rather eclectic of them. No one seems to have voted for the Bible or the Koran, both of which surely have really changed the world, but then, of course, the Beatles are bigger than Jesus, and so are Elvis and Dylan apparently.
Anyway, Bob Dylan's track 'Like A Rolling Stone' came out top, beating Elvis' 'Heartbreak Hotel' plus films 'A Clockwork Orange' and 'The Godfather' and TV show 'The Prisoner' to top the survey. Commenting on the winning song, Patti Smith, one of those surveyed by Uncut, said: "It got me through adolescence."
Music and movies dominated much of the top ten, which possibly says more about those surveyed than anything else, That top ten looks a little like this.
1. Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone
2. Elvis Presley - Heartbreak Hotel
3. The Beatles - She Loves You
4. The Rolling Stones - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
5. A Clockwork Orange
6. The Godfather and The Godfather II
7. David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust
8. Taxi Driver
9. Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols
10. The Prisoner
Commenting on the survey, Uncut editor Allan Jones told reporters: "This list has been a massive undertaking and considering which films have had a greater cultural impact than Bowie, for example, has fuelled many discussions. What we have been left with is Dylan as the most seminal artistic statement of the last five decades - but I'm sure others will disagree."
