In 2007, the magazine set out to determine "The Top 100 Records That Changed the World." The list was compiled and voted on by an eclectic panel of superstars, including Björk, Tori Amos, Tom Waits, Brian Wilson, Pete Wentz, and Steve Earle.
Little Richard's original 1955 hit "Tutti Frutti" took the number one spot. The record, dubbed "a torrent of filth wailed by a bisexual alien,"
beat the Beatles "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" (2nd) and Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel" (3rd). The magazine's editors claimed "that the 100 albums, singles and 78s that made up the list make up the most influential and inspirational recordings ever made." Hailing "Tutti Frutti" as the sound of the birth of Rock n Roll, the magazine's editors went on to state "one can only imagine how it must have sounded when the song exploded across the airwaves!"
The top 10 on Mojo's 100 Records That Changed The World list are:
1. "Tutti Frutti" by Little Richard
2. "I Want to Hold Your Hand" by The Beatles
3. "Heartbreak Hotel" by Elvis Presley
4. The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan by Bob Dylan
5. Autobahn by Kraftwerk
6. King of the Delta Blues Singers by Robert Johnson
7. The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground and Nico
8. Anthology of American Folk Music (various artists)
9. "What'd I Say" by Ray Charles
10. "God Save the Queen" by Sex Pistols
