I Am the Walrus by The Beatles – *****

First released: 1967

Truly a Beatles masterpiece! One of the best songs ever recorded by this group or otherwise. It also has a nifty video in "Magical Mystery Tour". It is featured on the album, the EP and the b-side of "Hello Goodbye", "1967-1970", and a slightly different version was released on the US "Rarities" album in 1980. A demo version appears on 1996's "Anthology 2". It is also used for 2006's "Love".

I can't say enough good things about this song. So many people paid tribute to this song over the years with its structure, most notoriously "Sowing the Seeds of Love" by Tears For Fears.

If I could give this five stars, I would…hey, I did!
