‘Break On Through (To The Other Side)’ — The Doors

This was the lead single from The Doors’ self-titled debut album. “Break on Through (To the Other Side).” was the band’s first single. When it was first published, it only charted at No. 126 in the United States. Whatever the case, it’s one of their most popular songs. According to Jim Morrison, he penned the song while meandering through Venice’s canals. “I was walking across a bridge,” he explained. “I guess it’s just one girl, one I knew at the time.” Elektra Records, the band’s label, omitted the word “high” from “she gets high” because they were concerned that it might damage radio airplay. Until the 1990s, every re-release of the song did not include the term.

‘Here Comes The Sun’ — The Beatles

“Here Comes the Sun” was included on the Beatles’ 1969 album “Abbey Road.” Although John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote the majority of their songs, George Harrison deserves credit for this big single. It was also evident at the time that the lead guitarist was influenced by Indian classical music. He allegedly wrote the song at Eric Clapton’s house to avoid attending a meeting of the band’s Apple Corps organization. This is one of the band’s most popular songs among its fans. By January 2020, it has become the most-streamed Beatles song in the United Kingdom.
