The track launched the King's career and is regarded by many as marking the start of rock 'n' roll. <P>A panel of music journalists, commissioned by Britain's Q Magazine, put "That's All Right" top of a list of "100 ground-breaking, world-altering songs that changed music and the world forever." <BR>

Interesting. I agree with much of those. This might sound really ignorant of me, but what's the history behind the Billie Holiday song? I'm a true fan of hers, but wouldn't have thought to include that. <BR>Candidates for 11-20?<P>Chuck Berry -- Johnny B. Goode<BR>Beatles -- Day in the Life<BR>James Brown -- I'm Black and I'm Proud<BR>Beach Boys -- Good Vibrations (or Wouldn't It Be Nice)<BR>Prince -- When Doves Cry<BR>MC5 -- Kick Out The James<BR>Anthrax and P.E. -- Bring the Noise<BR>Michael Jackson -- Billie Jean<BR>Supremes -- Love Child<BR>NWA -- Straight Outta Compton<P>And for your consideration:<BR>Suicidal Tendences -- Institutionalized (okay, this might be a personal choice, but I've never heard a song that better captures, through the lyrics and music, manic depression)<P><p>[This message has been edited by Relaxer (edited 01-16-2003).]

I think the Strange Fruit song was a very graphic depiction of the lynching of slaves.
