1. Thats All Right Elvis Presley
Rock n roll history begins here. "If I could find a white man who had the Negro sound and the Negro feel, I could make a billion dollars." History tells us this was a constant refrain from the mouth of Sun Records boss Sam Phillips, and in 1954 his dream came true. Whether he made a billion dollars is left up to the accountants to determine, but one thing is sure. The singer he found, one Elvis Aaron Presley, changed the face of music forever.
2. I Want To Hold Your Hand The Beatles
The song that broke America. It is one of historys more notable minor quirks that President Kennedy was assassinated on 22 November 1963, one week before the UK release of The Beatles fifth single. The two events might seem unconnected, yet the role of I Wanna Hold Your Hand in the USAs recovery from this bleak event is unquestionable.
3. God Save The Queen The Sex Pistols
Punk call-to-arms that raised the spectre of civil war. God Save The Queen created a moment quite unlike anything that has happened before or since in the annals of rock.
