Shortly after recording “Revolution 9”, John Lennon allegedly went around telling friends that his new song was the music of the future. Well, here we are, 40 years later, and I don’t see the pop charts filled with experimental song collages featuring recording engineers, chanting football crowds, mangled orchestras, and bizarre non-sequiturs.The top ten:
10. Eleanor Rigby
9. Something
8. Strawberry Fields Forever
7. In My Life
6. All You Need is Love
5. Hey Jude (I personally can't stand this song)
4. Golden Slumbers/Carry that Weight/The End
3. She's Leaving Home
2. I Am the Walrus
1. A Day in the Life
The FP Gal agreed with two of these. I'm curious what you others think.
