10 Songs That Are Meant To Confuse You

10. Tomorrow Never Knows - The Beatles

As the rock landscape was slowly starting to shift at the turn of the '60s, the Beatles were clearly the musical freak of nature leading the charge. Even with new and interesting genres and subgenres popping up left and right, the Fabs always maintained an ability to be ahead of the curve, if records like Sgt. Pepper's and the White Album were any indication. Before any of that though, Tomorrow Never Knows shows the moment where the Beatles past the point of no return.

To put it bluntly, this is not the first Beatles song anyone should learn on guitar, considering it's nothing but just one chord for the duration of the tune. While the backing track of horns does switch the chords every now and again, this entire composition comes back to just one droning sound from an Indian tambura, with John Lennon's voice being compressed to all hell on a speaker that was primarily used for church organs.

Even beyond the musical bits, there's everything from backwards guitar bits sprinkled in to tape loops brought in by Paul McCartney that add even more of a hypnotic flavor to the whole thing. By the time they were finally finished, George Martin insisted that this track could never be performed live considering how much production would have to go into recreating it. For as much you might like to experiment, you've reached a different level of weird when you can't even play what you wrote.
