- 'Helter Skelter' From: 'The Beatles' (1968) One of the Beatles' toughest tracks is all raging guitars, scarred vocal cords and blistered fingers. Its abrasive tone rocks the tranquility found elsewhere on the White Album, while still being an integral part of that LP's sturdy-but-crumbling structure.
- 'Here Comes the Sun' From: 'Abbey Road' (1969) Abbey Road's second side is mostly dominated by a multi-song suite orchestrated by Paul McCartney. But this lovely George Harrison song opens the side with a beam of sunshine that carries in with it the Beatles' glorious final notes.
- 'Paperback Writer' "Paperback Writer" was the only Beatles song to reach No. 1 in 1966. But Beatlemania was far from over. The group was stretching its sound – check out the fatter bass anchoring the track – and boundaries during the era, recording the mesmerizing Revolver before moving on to the colorful popscape of Sgt.
- 'Revolution' The Beatles reworked "Revolution" so many times during the troubled White Album sessions that three versions appeared in 1968: a bluesy, acoustic crawl found on The Beatles, a messy sound collage also on the LP and this plugged-in electric version, which was released as a single as the B-side of "Hey Jude."
- ‘Hello, Goodbye’ Main Writer: McCartney. Recorded: October 2, 19, 25 and November 2, 1967. Released: November 27, 1967. 11 weeks; No. 1. McCartney never claimed that the irresistibly bounce “Hello, Goodbye” was his most profound songwriting moment.
- ‘Yes It Is’ Main Writer: Lennon. Recorded: February 16, 1965. Released: April 19, 1965. 4 weeks; No. 46 (B side) As he was with much of his early work, Lennon was dismissive of “Yes It Is”; he said it was “me trying a rewrite of ‘This Boy,’ but it didn’t work.”
- ‘Long, Long, Long’ Writer: Harrison. Recorded: October 7-9, 1968. Released: November 25, 1968. Not released as a single. “Long, Long, Long” seems like a love song — “How I want you/How I love you/You know that I need you” — but the object of Harrison’s affections was God.
- ‘All I’ve Got to Do’ Main Writer: Lennon. Recorded: September 11, 1963. Released: January 20, 1964. Not released as a single. “Smokey Robinson was like God in our eyes,” McCartney once said.
