More than 66% of people said music helped them through periods of illness or stress. More men than women voted for Bohemian Rhapsody, while more women than men voted for ABBA.

The BBC say: "Music can't cure an illness or alter a disability - but it can help people cope with the difficulties they face. When you participate in music it can bring physical benefits, but it can also affect the way you think and feel.

"Everyone has the ability to respond to music and sound which can alter our way of moving, our mood and our perceptions." Check out the top 10 here.
