Music fans have voted former Beatle John Lennon the greatest rock and roll icon of all time.
The star, who was assassinated in 1980, saw off competition from Elvis Presley and David Bowie to top the list of 100 voted for by readers of Q magazine.
In a special tribute to him published in the magazine his widow Yoko Ono said he was a "driven man" who "changed people's awareness in an incredible way".
She continued: "He was not afraid to tell the truth and thus give us a clearer picture of what was really going on. Indeed, it is not an exaggeration to say that there was a world before John and the world after."
The top 10 music icons as voted for by readers of Q magazine were:
1. John Lennon 2. Elvis Presley 3. David Bowie 4. Keith Richards 5. Kurt Cobain 6. Madonna 7. Bono 8. Bob Marley 9. Joe Strummer 10. Bob Dylan
