Strawberry Fields“Strawberry Fields Forever” is a classic song by The Beatles credited as written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon. It was released in 1967 as a double A side single along with “Penny Lane”. The song is named after a field in Liverpool that Lennon used to play in called Strawberry Field. The group spent 45 hours in the studio making this complex and groundbreaking song. It featured complex tracks and overdubs, along with a wide variety of sounds including Indian instruments and orchestral sounds.
John Lennon considered the song his greatest work with The Beatles. The chart was a minor hit, topping the US charts at #8. An experimental promotional film was recorded in time for the single’s release and featured the band’s new look, with all members having mustaches. It also followed George Harrison’s inspired trip to India. The video is very psychedelic, featuring reverse video and fantastical imagery. The song is considered influential on future British music and groups such as Pink Floyd, Traffic and ELO. The John Lennon memorial in New York City’s Central Park is named after the song. It has been listed on many critics’ lists as one of the top rock songs of all time.

Like A Rolling Stone“Like A Rolling Stone” is a classic song by American singer/songwriter Bob Dylan, released in 1965 as part of his Highway 61 Revisited album. The final version had a rock feel to it, and it opens with a famous organ sequence played by Al Kooper. It is considered revolutionary for its mixture of musical elements, Dylan’s unique voice, and the philosophical and cynical question in the lyrics “How does it feel”? At over 6 minutes long, the record company was reluctant to release the single. When it was leaked to popular clubs and radio stations, it was well received and became an international hit.
It peaked at #2 in the US. Many consider it the final transformation of Dylan from folk singer to rock performer, with its use of electric instruments. It is the #1 song of all time on many critics lists of top songs. In 2014, Dylan’s handwritten lyrics to the song sold for $2 million, a record. It was influential in many ways, including changing the length of pop songs played on radio - it was the first of its kind to be so long and garner popular airplay. The song has been covered by many artists, including Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones.
