5) Wouldn't It Be Nice -- The Beach Boys The opener to the great
'Pet Sounds', this song is carefully orchestrated, giving it
sophistication but without taking away its youthful spirit.
4) Let It Be -- The Beatles After
seeing his mother in a dream, McCartney was inspired to write this
song. In his dream, his mother (who had died when he was 14) told him
that "It will be alright: just let it be". So he wrote this song. Which
is amazing.
3) Your Song -- Elton John Your Song by Elton
John is a great combination of elements from different genres, taking
old ideas and combining them in a way that was new. John Lennon said
that this song was the first original thing since The Beatles.....
2) Imagine -- John Lennon This
song pretty much is telling you to imagine a world without religion or
government or capitalism. While in reality a world like that would suck, it sounds
amazingly utopic when sung by John Lennon.
1) Hey Jude -- The Beatles Written
by Paul McCartney to help Julian Lennon through his parents divorce,
this ballad takes a simple melody and lyric, and creates a work of art
that is not only beautiful, but very touching.
