‘Break On Through (To The Other Side)’ — The Doors
This was the first track on The Doors’ self-titled debut album. The band’s first single was called “Break on Through (To the Other Side).” It did not perform well when it was first released, reaching only No. 126 on the US charts. Regardless, it’s one of their most popular songs. Jim Morrison told Hit Parader that he wrote the song while walking through Venice’s canals. “I was walking over a bridge,” he shared. “I guess it’s one girl, a girl I knew at the time.” Elektra Records, the band’s label, removed the “high” from “she gets high” because they knew it might affect its radio airplay. The truth is that until the 1990s, every re-release of the song came without the word.

‘Here Comes The Sun’ — The Beatles
The Beatles featured “Here Comes the Sun” on the 1969 album called “Abbey Road.” The majority of their songs were written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, but George Harrison deserves credit for this smash hit. At the time, it was also clear that the lead guitarist was influenced by Indian classical music. He is said to have written the song at Eric Clapton’s house in order to avoid attending a meeting at the band’s Apple Corps organization. Among the band’s fans, this is one of their most popular songs. It was even the most-streamed Beatles song in the United Kingdom by January 2020.
