The Beatles: Their Top 40 Tracks

16. Within You Without You

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsDfbpYXHRI Writer: George Harrison Album: 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' Harrison is the only Beatle to feature on this 'Sgt. Pepper's...' track, instead recruting Indian musicians to help record the song, which uses such instruments as the sitar, tambura and tabla. The result is another peaceful, haunting Harrison track, which delves into unknown musical and lyrical grounds. Like 'Long, Long, Long', Harrison's voice is very easy and pleasant to listen to, and compliments the strings particularly well. An adventurous and deep track.

15. Here Comes The Sun

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5E_zXbmrlM Writer: George Harrison Album: 'Abbey Road' Another one of Harrison's, filled with upbeat acoustic guitar and reassuring vocals. 'Here Comes The Sun' is one of those songs that always lifts your mood, and is perhaps one of Harrison's best known Beatles' songs. The addition of the strings and synths gives the track a beautiful quality, let keeping the entire song simplistic. This beautiful simplicity is what makes this track so good, and so timeless.

14. Drive My Car

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7dkn1ZnIPk Writer: Lennon-McCartney Album: 'Rubber Soul' The opening track from 'Rubber Soul' is packed with humour and great riffs. Lennon and McCartney charm their way through witty lyrics of aspiring fame and work, and opens the album fantastically well. The song feels like a cross roads from early Beatles love songs to their slightly heavier rock songs, which leaves us with a fantastic balance of early Beatles material.
