Heartbreak as Bob pips Elvis
August 8, 2005
Bob Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone, the song that Bruce Springsteen said "sounded like somebody'd kicked open the door to your mind", has been judged the most important of 100 music, film and television moments that changed the world.
Musicians, actors and industry experts surveyed for their seminal experiences in the past 50 years included rockers Sir Paul McCartney, Noel Gallagher, Keith Richards, Lou Reed, Patti Smith and Beach Boy Brian Wilson, and Hollywood's Juliette Lewis, Edward Norton and Robert Downey Jr.
Dylan just edged out the day rock'n'roll finally took off across the world - the first radio broadcast of Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel in 1956 - in the poll by Britain's Uncut magazine.
Dylan's single, recorded in 1965 for his influential album Highway 61 Revisited, was remarkable for its lyrics.
Heralded as the first six-minute single, it was originally issued on a double-sided 45 to allow radio stations to keep to their three-minute rule. However, DJs soon came under fire from fans for cutting it and started taping both sides to broadcast the song in full.

But McCartney named the Presley track as his first choice. "It's the way he sings it as if he is singing from the depths of hell. His phrasing, use of echo, it's all so beautiful. Musically it's perfect." Recorded at RCA studios in Nashville in 1956, Heartbreak Hotel was just two minutes 11 seconds long.
Third was the Beatles' She Loves You, written by McCartney and John Lennon after a concert at the Majestic ballroom in Newcastle while touring with Roy Orbison in 1963.
At No. 4 is (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones. The lyrics and distinctive guitar riff were thought up by Keith Richards in a hotel in Clearlake, Florida, during the Stones' third US tour in 1965.
A Clockwork Orange by Stanley Kubrick emerged as the most influential film, with The Godfather and The Godfather II in sixth place. David Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust came seventh. The cartoon characters Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie were also placed, with The Simpsons appearing at No. 14.
