These Songs Are Said To Be The Best To Ever Be Written

‘Ticket to Ride’ – The Beatles

This song, according to Lennon, was the first heavy metal tune ever written. McCartney, for one, played lead guitar. “On the fade-out, we practically invented the idea of a new bit of a song,” he stated of “Ticket.” “At the time, it was pretty innovative.”

‘Whipping Post’ – The Allman Brothers Band

Allman wrote this anthem on an ironing board in a gloomy Florida bedroom. The song is best appreciated in its 23-minute iteration on At Fillmore East, which is punctuated by Duane Allman’s knifelike guitar incisions.
