10 Greatest Beatles Classic Rock Songs

10. I’ve Got A Feeling

Like A Day In The Life, this overlooked gem from Let It Be puts together unfinished song parts, written separately by John and Paul, to create one classic track. The way Paul’s optimistic paean to his new love is tempered by Lennon’s cynical “everybody’s had a hard year” segment, is yet another example of them bringing out the best in each other.

While A Day In The Life was a masterpiece of psychedelia, I’ve Got A Feeling was a more straightforward, hard rock number with gutsy guitar and warm piano. The song is also notable for Paul’s spiritedlung busting lead vocal.

Inspired in part by Paul’s recent interest in Canned Heat, the song almost seems to foreshadow the Seventies sound of Faces and others. Even on the album where they attempted to return to their rock and roll roots, The Beatles couldn’t help but point to the future.
