Best Song: In My Life Worst Song: Run For Your Life The album where the Beatles combined folk, soul and Indian influences. Considered as a very artistic and forward thinking album by critics. "Drive My Car" opens Rubber Soul, the guitar driven track has some different lyrics from the band about making sexual advances at a certain female. Lennon's song about a past affair with unknown woman follows, Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) includes the appearance of a sitar played by George Harrison.McCartney's inner Frenchman makes an appearance in Michelle, with its signature French styled acoustic guitars and French lyrics in the chorus. The world influences don't stop there Greek styled guitars performed in bouzouki styled notes are featured in "Girl". In closing is one of Lennon's best songs to date, even he said even after the bands demise that he was proud of the song , and loved the lyrics he wrote for it. This song is In My Life, the song is filled with nostalgic memories of Lennon's childhood and youth.Rubber Soul is other worldly, from the different influences, and the honest song writing.
