The best samples - ever

There are hundreds and thousands of great samples, really hard to pick out the best, but NME tried nevertheless. It's a good choice, although it's hardly definite. So, the top three: Destiny’s Child turning the Stevie Nicks' guitar riff ‘Edge of Seventeen’ into a R&B belter ‘Bootylicious’; A Tribe Called Quest use of Lou Reed’s lilting instrumentals into creating the legendary call-and-response led ‘Can I Kick It?’; ABBA’s 'Gimme Gimme Gimme' was pure pop before Madonna used it to make yet another disco banger, ‘Hung Up’.
