The launch of The Three Tenors has been named the best cultural moment of the last 21 years in a survey conducted to mark the 21st anniversary of the Hay Literary Festival. Second place went to the reopening of The Globe Theatre in 1997, third to the release of Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone the same year, fourth to the launch of the iPod in 2001, and the fifth place went to the 'River Dance' performance at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994, which pretty much invalidates the whole list, if you ask me.
