Seven Records That Changed the World?

Little Steven, aka Steven Van Zandt of the E Street Band and until recently, "The Sopranos" has a cool radio show that you can listen to on the web here (registration now required but free - plays great old garage rock and a lot of good new stuff that you don't here on the radio much).

Listening to an archived show, Little Steven listed his seven "records that changed the world." They are:

Heartbreak Hotel - Elvis Presley
Please Please Me - the Beatles
I Wanna Hold Your Hand - the Beatles
I Wanna Be Your Man - Rolling Stones
It's All Over Now - Rolling Stones
Mr. Tambourine Man - the Byrds
Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan


Obviously -60s-centric. Good songs all. Hard to disagree with Heartbreak Hotel and I Wanna Hold Your Hand at least. And he said these are the records that "changed the world," not necessarily "best seven".

Your assignment - ponder, discuss.
