"I absolutely remember where I was when I first heard it. It got me through adolescence," rocker Patti Smith said of the winning song.

as his number one choice.

"It's the way (Presley) sings it as if he is singing from the depths of hell," McCartney said. "His phrasing, use of echo, it's all so beautiful. Musically, it's perfect."

The Beatles' song She Loves Me ranked at number three, followed by the Rolling Stones' (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.

Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange emerged as the most influential film at number five, followed by The Godfather and The Godfather II films in sixth place.

The Prisoner was the top-ranking TV series at number 10, while Jack Kerouac's novel On the Road was the highest-ranking book, in 19th place.

Actor Edward Norton and ex-Beach Boy Brian Wilson also took part in the poll, marking the magazine's 100th issue.
