Ask your good friend Dylan, If he'd gaze a while down the old street...
It's obviously a most contentious list, as these things always are, but here's what the magazine reckons the top 10 most seismic events were...
MUSIC, FILMS, TV AND BOOKS THAT 'CHANGED THE WORLD'
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 and the Spiders From Mars
8 Taxi Driver
9 Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols
10 The Prisoner
Robert Smith of The Cure was the man chosen to talk about the importance of the Ziggy Stardust album, and here's a small sample of what he had to say about it:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ziggy was the first album I actually went out and bought. In the same way that I liked Hendrix when I was growing up, I loved the idea Bowie represented 'the other' ? something that was completely alien to everything I'd experienced. I was 13 when this came out and it represented everything I wanted the world to be: alien, glamorous and totally cool.
Looking back, the Ziggy album really did divide everyone at our school. My friends ? whether they were male or female ? were determined by whether or not they liked the album. It was that important.

It's a great issue with a few other nods to DB and a free Dylan CD to boot.
