Don’t Let Me DownThe Beatles
An immortal masterpiece by the Beatles, a rock band that defined the 1960s.
John Lennon candidly sings about his feelings for a loved one in this moving song.
It was released in January 1969 as the B-side to the single “Get Back.” The lyrics, which lay bare a sense of emotional instability, blend beautifully with the wistful melody, continuing to captivate listeners to this day.

Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club BandThe Beatles
The album covers of the Beatles, the most famous rock band in the world, are all iconic and have influenced countless aspects of culture, spawning innumerable parodies.
Among them, the artwork for Sgt.
Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band stands out not only as a masterpiece of album cover design, but as a work of art in its own right for its sheer completeness.
Conceived by Paul McCartney of the Beatles and finalized by British pop artist Peter Blake and his wife, Jann Haworth, the artwork reportedly cost £3,000 to produce—equivalent to more than £50,000 today—and ultimately became a historic masterpiece, artwork included.
The piece itself is conceptual, presenting a “show by a fictional band,” and the cover—featuring the Beatles in the guise of the Sgt.
Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band alongside prominent cultural figures of the time and important historical personalities—perfectly ties into the album’s concept.
If you’re curious about who appears in this quintessential piece of 1960s culture, be sure to look it up!
Masterpieces and Popular Songs by The Beatles (111–120)
Lucy In The Sky With DiamondsThe Beatles
Even the Beatles—the greatest band of the 20th century and a legendary foursome in music history—naturally have songs in triple meter.
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, featured on the 1967 album Sgt.
Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, is one such track.
Led by John Lennon, this psychedelic number was reportedly inspired by a drawing by his son, Julian Lennon.
The song’s most distinctive feature is its structure, which combines 3/4 and 4/4 time.
If you’re interested in triple meter, give it a listen—you’ll clearly hear the difference between the two rhythms.
Helter SkelterThe Beatles
This is a Beatles song included on the ambitious double album The Beatles, released in 1968 and commonly known as the White Album.
Often cited as a prototype of hard rock, it was written by Paul McCartney, who has said he had The Who in mind when composing it.
Its dynamic, heavy guitar sound greatly influenced later bands and has been especially popular among heavy metal groups, who frequently cover it.
Among the Beatles’ catalog, it stands out as an exceptionally intense rock track and can be considered a groundbreaking classic.
It’s unfortunate—for the band as well—that the Charles Manson incident saddled it with a negative image.
