‘The Sound Of Silence’ — Simon & Garfunkel
We’re sure you’ve heard this song before. “The Sound of Silence” was ranked 10th by the Ranker community. It was included on Simon & Garfunkel’s debut album, “Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.” in 1964. It reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1966, and it also charted in Austria, Australia, the Netherlands, West Germany, and Japan. Although it appeared in The Graduate, the duo wrote “Mrs. Robinson” for it. The secret of the song, according to Paul Simon, was “the simplicity of the melody and the words, which are youthful alienation.”

‘A Day In The Life’ — The Beatles
This song is often regarded as one of John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s final true collaborations. “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” was the dramatic ending to The Beatles’ 1967 album, “A Day in the Life.” It has been performed by a number of artists, including Bary Gibb, Jeff Beck, The Fall, and Phish. Since 2008, Paul McCartney has begun singing the song live. Three years later, Rolling Stone named it the Beatles’ finest song. According to Acclaimed Music, it is the third most popular song in popular music history. It’s simple to see why this is the case.
